Done deal: Fiorentina have everything in place for Sohm transfer

Simon Sohm will become a new Fiorentina player, as La Viola have everything in place with Parma and on personal terms with the one-cap Switzerland international. 

As Football Italia reported earlier this week, Fiorentina have been pursuing a deal for Parma midfielder Sohm. Fiorentina’s interest dates back to July 7, but have reached a breakthrough after Parma agreed to drop their initial asking price for the 24-year-old. 

Now, just shy of a month after Sohm was initially offered to the Viola, everything appears to be in place for his permanent transfer. 

Done deal: Sohm all set for Fiorentina

Fiorentina are expected to pay a fee of €15m plus €1m in bonuses for the former Zurich midfielder, plus a 5% cut of any future profits. 

Sohm himself  will sign a multi-year contract worth €1.2m per season in wages, plus bonuses. 

The documents needed to formally complete the transfer are now being exchanged, and visits for medicals and contract signings are expected to take place within the next 48 hours.
