RomaPress – Barcelona winter Carles Pèrez is closing in on a move to AS Roma.

Last night, the Giallorossi reached an agreement with the Spanish side on the basis of a loan with an obligation to buy for €13 million. Furthermore, a source at Roma has confirmed to RomaPress that the Spanish side will not have any buyback clause on Pèrez.

Roma are meeting with Arturo Canales, the agent of the player, within the hour as well as the father of Pèrez in order to agree to contractual terms — which is still missing.

The sides are optimistic a deal will be reached before the end of the day as the Giallorossi look to close the operation for the 21 year-old.
