Swansea City are said to be on the verge of completing a move for midfielder Gonçalo Franco from Moreirense.
The Record reports that the deal is agreed and the player is already on his way to join up with the Swans having left the pre-season training camp of Moreirense.
He had one year left on his contract and is said to have been one of their main assets.
Initial research on the player suggests he is very much a versatile midfielder – something desperately needed in our central areas and certainly adds comfort to some of the work that we are doing this summer which is taking us beyond the boundaries of the UK and seeing us snap up players from elsewhere – something we used to be particularly good at.
Interestingly it was reported back in May that Galatasary were in the final stages of a move for the player with reports at the time suggesting it could be as high as 2 million Euros. Aside from that level of transfer fee his weekly wage is not likely to break the bank at the Swans which could lead to us paying a higher up front fee?
Time will tell on this one but an interesting move and one that we should hear news on relatively quickly.
