“We are down to the details for Pellegri’s sale to Monaco,” Genoa director of sport Giorgio Perinetti told Sportitalia this evening.
A deal has been struck for €23m plus bonuses and giving Genoa a 10 per cent cut of any future transfer fee over €40m.
Pellegri, who turns 17 in March, will sign a five-year contract starting at €1m per season.
He has made only eight Serie A appearances, but scored three goals.
Pellegri made his top flight debut at the age of 15 years and 280 days, a joint Serie A record.
Juventus had been in negotiations this morning, but their offer of €10m plus various bonuses was blown out of the water.
Monaco will also be able to guarantee fairly regular playing time in Ligue 1 and the Champions League straight away, as he replaces Guido Carrillo, who was sold to Southampton this week.
