More details are emerging on the double deal Roma struck with PSG for Renato Sanches and Leandro Paredes, as L’Equipe insist the total cost could be as little as €17.5m.
According to the reports in France, both players are packing their bags and will fly out over the next 24 hours to have their medical tests in the Eternal City.
They are both going to end up being permanent transfers, but at a lower cost than the Giallorossi were originally facing.
L’Equipe insist this evening that Roma are upfront only paying €2.5m to sign Paredes, and with performance-related bonuses that could rise to €4.5m.
It is a remarkably low fee considering last season Juventus paid Paris Saint-Germain €5m for the loan spell, after refusing to take up the €22.6m option to buy.
As for Renato Sanches, PSG got their wish and it will be a loan with obligation to buy, but only for €15m.
That is exactly as much as the Ligue 1 giants paid to purchase him from Lille last summer.
