Sassuolo will sign wingback Tajon Buchanan for around €8 million, with Inter Milan retaining a buyback option.
This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.
Tajon Buchanan is once again an Inter Milan player after the end of his loan spell at Villarreal.
The Canadian international left the Nerazzurri on loan during the January transfer window. Villarreal had an option to sign him on a permanent basis, but have not exercised it.
Buchanan may be back at Inter. But he hardly has a place in the Nerazzurri’s plans for next season.
Therefore, Inter are working to sell the 26-year-old once and for all this summer.
A few clubs showed an interest in signing Buchanan this summer.
Villarreal still retained an interest in bringing the Canadian back. Meanwhile, Brentford and Eintracht Frankfurt reportedly also eyed up a deal.
However, reports the Gazzetta dello Sport, Buchanan will actually stay in Serie A.
The newspaper anticipate that newly-promoted Sassuolo are on the verge of a deal for the 26-year-old former Club Brugge wingback.
The Neroverdi will pay a fee of around €7-8 million for Buchanan.
However, reports the Gazzetta, Inter will still retain a buyback option on the Canadian international.
