As Fulham get closer on the signing of Wolfsburg defender Kevin Mbabu, it’s now the Italian media who shares the latest updates on this chase.
Outlet TuttoMercatoWeb writes that following an agreement between the clubs, the 27-year-old is set to have his medicals on Friday.
The website writes that Fulham and Wolfsburg agreed to a €7.5m package, with an initial fee of €5.5m plus €2m in add-ons. The Bundesliga side are also set to have 10% of a future transfer.
Bild wrote that the player didn’t even train on Thursday just so he could avoid any last-minute problems that could risk the move falling through.
That report had claimed that Fulham would pay between €6m and €8m for the signing, so that’s pretty close to what TuttoMercatoWeb are reporting.
Bild also claimed that Mbabu initially asked for a salary worth €3m per season, and with Marco Silva’s side taking a step back, he ended up lowering the demands to get to a deal.
