Italian Serie A new boys Salernitana are on the brink of announcing the signing of Nigeria international Simeon Tochukwu Nwankwo, according to various reports in the Italian media.
Salernogranata.it is reporting that the Super Eagle has agreed personal terms with Salernitana and an official confirmation of his transfer to the Garnets is expected within 48 hours, adding that it is being delayed by only bureaucratic issues.
His imminent move to Salernitana would bring an end to speculation surrounding his future which has dominated the back pages at home and abroad in the last four months or so.
Simy will become the highest-paid player in the history of Salernitana, taking home one million euros (approximately N590 million in Nigerian currency) per season if bonuses are included.
Crotone will receive a transfer fee of six million euros for agreeing to shred their contract with Simy a year before its expiration.
The 29-year-old enjoyed a breakout season with Crotone in 2020-2021, scoring 20 goals in 38 games, but the Sharks were forced to sell their all-time top scorer after they were demoted to the second-tier of Italian football.
