Italian side Pro Vercelli will meet Fiorentina sporting director Daniele Prade to open talks over a loan move to the club.
The 23-year-old has endured limited playing at Perugia with a mixture of injury problems but Vercelli technical team believe the Sunyani-born will flourish at their club.
Though Salifu is still in Ghana sorting his travel documents, Vercelli officials want to lock a deal with Fiorentina before he travels back to Italy.
Salifu has played just four times for Perugia in the entire first-half of the season.
