Arsenal expected to make signing official ‘within the next few hours.’– Player interrupts holiday for medical
Fábio Vieira’s move to Arsenal was reported in Portugal on Thursday, and it was well covered in the country’s Friday sports papers.
Arsenal will make the deal official ‘in the next few hours,’ according to the Record, and the FC Porto midfielder will sign a five-year contract with his new club.
According to reports, the Gunners will pay €35 million plus an additional €5 million in bonus payments.
The bonuses are claimed to be connected to game blocks completed by Vieira, as well as collective goals at the Premier League team.
O Jogo uses the same data and claims that the bonus levels are simple to achieve. According to their report, the only thing left to do in the transfer procedure is to make it official.
Jorge Mendes oversaw the process and persuaded Porto to accept the offer.
There had been some hesitancy at first, with the club probably expecting it might come closer to the player’s €50 million release clause.
The athlete has been on vacation in Mykonos, Greece, and has returned to London to complete his medical exams.
The medical is scheduled to take place today, and Arsenal fans should be on the lookout for an announcement.
