Tottenham have a draft agreement ‘in hand’ to finally sell forgotten midfielder

Fabio Paratici has negotiated a deal to offload a Tottenham attacker to a Serie A side, but all parties are still waiting on one factor to make the move official.

While Spurs fans are keen to see more signings arrive through the door, another disappointing aspect of Tottenham’s performance so far this summer is their inability to offload players who are surplus to requirements for Thomas Frank.

One of those is Bryan Gil, who confirmed as far back as April that he will be leaving Tottenham, and finally, almost four months on, there appears to be some movement on the winger’s future.

It emerged a few days ago that Bologna are locked in talks with Tottenham over a deal for Gil, and there has now been a significant update on the Serie A club’s pursuit of the Spurs man.

Bologna have an agreement in place to sign Bryan Gil from Tottenham

This update comes from the print edition of Corriere dello Sport (as relayed by Sport Witness), who say that Bologna now have a draft agreement ‘in hand’ over the signing of Gil.

The report reveals that the Italian side negotiated the deal with Fabio Paratici, with the 24-year-old expected to join on an initial loan deal.

The loan will include an option to buy next summer, which will become an obligation if certain conditions are met.

Bologna are now working on agreeing on personal terms with the Spain international, but his wage demands of just over €2m (£1.7m) per season are proving expensive for the club.

Bolonga are assessing Gil’s fitness

Corriere say that an official from the Serie A side is currently in London to assess Gil’s recovery from his knee injury.

The Tottenham Hotspur man will be monitored closely by Bologna over the next few days before they make a final decision on the deal.

Interestingly, according to Transfermarkt, the winger has just a year left on his contract, but there have been some rumours over recent days that Tottenham may have extended Gil’s contract to protect his value.
