Ianis Hagi is set to join the team founded by his father Gheorghe, as Viitorul Costanta confirm they’ll meet Fiorentina’s asking price.
The attacking midfielder joined the Viola in the summer of 2016, but he’s barely featured since the €2m transfer.
It was rumoured he could move to Galatasaray, where his father hold legendary status, but instead he’s very close to joining Viitorul Costanta – founded by Hagi Sr.
