Fiorentina have agreed terms with Partizan Belgrade over the transfer of Adem Ljajic to the Serie A club.
The 18-year-old attacking midfielder will become a Viola player pending a medical examination.
A statement from the club said: "Fiorentina announces that an agreement has been reached with Partizan Belgrade for the signature on a permanent basis of player Adem Ljajic."
Ljajic came close to joining Manchester United last season, only for the deal to collapse due to problems obtaining a work permit.
The Serbian Under-21 international is considered one of his country's biggest talents and his abilities have led to him being nicknamed 'Little Kaka'.
