According to the UK media it’s 99.9% certain.
If so you’ve got one hell of a player who’s just entered his prime year’s.
Ah, the X post you shared yesterday had the Italian reporter calling it a $28M transfer fee, which this article is back to $22M, which makes more sense.
Guess the X guy was wrong on the transfer fee.
Interesting that the article says Latte has completed a medical review – was this after he hurt his groin, or before?
Our local media says he had the medical after he felt the groin strain, apparently being substituted was more of a precaution due to the ongoing negotiations.
