Fiorentina president Rocco Commisso admits he's becoming frustrated about Dusan Vlahovic's contract talks.
The striker's current deal runs to 2023.
“I don't know if he'll sign, let's all just stay calm," the Viola President told reporters at an event in Florence.
“We've been working on it for months, some days are more positive than others. I speak to Dusan and he says he's only focusing on the pitch and I should talk to his agents, then I talk to his agents and they say I have to speak to the player.
“His agent should come to Florence, he is the one doing the negotiations. What I will say is that this would be the highest salary ever given to a Fiorentina player, including Gabriel Batistuta and Manuel Rui Costa."
Commisso added: "I told Dusan that he is taking a huge risk not signing this deal. We are offering him a five-year contract worth €40m. I had to work a whole year to earn what he would in two or three days. I don't know how football reached this stage."
