De Guzman, who has two-and-a-half years remaining on his current contract with the Serie A club, is currently recovering from minor groin surgery.
The nature of the deal to bring De Guzman back to the Liberty Stadium is not yet known.
Swansea manager Alan Curtis is keen to bolster his squad after allowing midfielder Jonjo Shelvey to join Newcastle on Wednesday for a fee Sky sources understand to be in the region of £12m.
During his first spell with Swansea, De Guzman made 95 appearances and scored 16 times, playing a major role in the 2013 League Cup winning team.
De Guzman scored twice in the 5-0 final victory over Bradford City at Wembley to help Swansea win the first major trophy in their history.
