Nothing with Aston Villa midfielder Jordan Veretout is ever going to be simple, and his transfer to Saint-Etienne is looking that way.
Garcia had telephoned Veretout to talk him into the move, and after a period of reflection, the Aston Villa player agreed.
L’Equipe say Veretout was expected at Saint-Etienne today for a medical and to sign a four year contract, but didn’t show up for the tests.
The reason for that is interest from Fiorentina, with Veretout seemingly more attracted by the Serie A club.
Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla is claiming an exclusive that Fiorentina have already agreed a deal to pay Aston Villa €7m, and Veretout will sign a contract for five seasons.
It’s presented as a done deal.
