Fiorentina close to Tello deal

By Football Italia staff

Fiorentina are reportedly very close to a loan deal for Barcelona-owned Cristian Tello.

The 24-year-old is currently playing for Porto on a loan deal, but he has become the object of the great winter transfer move for the Gigliati.

According to the Corriere Fiorentino, Tello to Fiorentina is almost a done deal, with Barcelona now agreeing to a loan deal with a purchase option set at €6m.

The transfer could become official in the first few days of the next week, and the winger will have a substantial impact on Paulo Sousa's team, to the point that the Coach may change his formation to a 4-2-3-1 to accommodate the newcomer.
