Fiorentina have reportedly agreed all but the details for a double swoop, free agent David De Gea and Stade de Reims midfielder Amir Richardson.
The Viola are extremely active on the transfer market this summer and are also continuing to whittle down their agreement with Genoa for Albert Gudmundsson.
According to multiple sources including Le Parisien, Sportitalia and Sky Sport Italia, they have now shaken hands with Stade de Reims for Morocco international Richardson.
The 22-year-old is currently playing in the Paris Olympics and had also been linked with numerous clubs, such as Tottenham Hotspur, Everton, Leicester City and Ajax.
The offer is believed to be worth circa €10m plus a 10 per cent cut of the sell-on fee, similar to the proposal put forward by Ajax.
Fiorentina deep in De Gea and Richardson talks
Meanwhile, Sportitalia transfer expert Alfredo Pedullà maintains that Fiorentina are also on the verge of finalising the contract with free agent De Gea.
The former Manchester United goalkeeper is eager to get back into football after a season in the stands.
