World Cup star Christ Oulai: Fiorentina make key progress in move

World Cup star Christ Oulai: Fiorentina make key progress in move Serie A side Fiorentina have bolstered their squad with the arrivals of Viery, Arthur Atta, Alex Jimenez and Radu Dragusin and are making major progress in a move for Trabzonspor’s World Cup star Christ Oulai. The midfielder was impressive for Cote D’Ivoire some weeks ago and this has caught La Viola’s attention. Tuttomercatoweb report that talks between Fiorentina and the Turkish club are quite heated. In fact, they have reached the start of what is a formal agreement, making sure that next week will be key to closing the deal. Oulai is yet to return to Istanbul after the World Cup too and this has caused a hold-up in the move for a few days. The midfielder’s entourage is pushing for the deal and there is optimism a deal should go through soon. As things stand, the two clubs could agree to a €30m plus bonuses deal, with Trabzonspor also likely to have a sell-on percentage in the move. Another big move Fiorentina are clearly not taking anything for granted after their scrapes with relegation last season. They are signing proven players that will directly bolster their side and even if Oulai is a bit of a risk, he is coming off a high and there is every chance it could work out. Kaustubh Pandey – GIFN
