Although it has been reported that Aston Villa and the Serie A club have reached an agreement, Fiorentina is hopeful of signing Hellas Verona winger Cyril Ngonge.
According to reports from Italy, the Serie A team “verbally accepted” Villa’s €10 million offer. But now Tutto Hellas Verona say the €10 million + €2 million is still “on the table” since the winger isn’t sure where he wants to go.
It is rumoured that he is content with his stay in Italy and would prefer to join another Serie A team. Fiorentina, who has been connected to an interest in the Belgian, steps in at this point.
Gazzetta dello Sport notes that Verona is “handling” Villa’s offer in another place and has forewarned Fiorentina that they must move quickly to finalise a deal. Sean Sogliano, the sporting director of Verona, has not ruled out the winger leaving the team this month, though it is unclear if that will happen at Villa Park.
“He’s a key player, every game is a test, and the difficulty will increase,” he declared. We want to save ourselves, but we also need to consider the needs from an administrative standpoint and acknowledge the current state of our club.
“We have to think about scoring as many points as possible until the transfer window, then we’ll see what happens.”
