Parma have agreed the sale of Dennis Man to PSV Eindhoven and seen their offer for Inter striker Sebastiano Esposito accepted, awaiting a possible Cagliari response.

Sky Sport Italia report that an agreement has now been reached with PSV Eindhoven for the permanent sale of the Romania international forward.

The talks had been going for a while and the final details were resolved this evening, so he can fly out to the Netherlands for his medical tests.

Busy few days on the market for Parma

It is believed to be a fee of circa €9m including add-ons, with Man also close to agreeing personal terms.

He turns 27 later this month and made the move to Parma from Steaua Bucharest at a cost of €12.6m in January 2021.

Meanwhile, Sky Sport Italia also claim that Inter have accepted the Parma proposal for Sebastiano Esposito.

As Alfredo Pedullà had reported earlier today, the clock is ticking and Cagliari have tonight to either match that offer, or look elsewhere.

If Cagliari and Parma both make the same bid, then Inter will let the player decide, and his preference may well be for the Sardinians, who had approached him first.
