Roma reach agreement with Monaco over Destro

Roma and Monaco have come to an agreement over the transfer of Mattia Destro, and now just need the player’s approval to complete the operation.

The 24-year-old Italian international has been negotiating with the French giants for a couple of weeks now, but it was believed that a potential deal had broken down over the weekend.

Sky Sport Italia reveal that the deal has been given the green-light once again, after the two sides agreed on an undisclosed fee for the talented forward overnight.

Now Monaco are just waiting on the OK from Destro – currently on his honeymoon – but who still isn’t fully convinced by the project at Ligue 1 giants.

Destro is reported to be holding out for a move to Fiorentina, but the Viola have yet to make a serious offer for the ex-Inter striker.

The player spent the previous six months on loan at AC Milan, but failed to convince the Rossoneri to make the transfer permanent.
