Che close on Del Horno
|
Valencia are closing in on the signing of Chelsea full back Asier Del Horno.
The Che's director of sport Amadeo Carboni flew into London on Thursday to open negotiations and the transfer is now understood to be well advanced.
The two clubs are reported to have concurred on a fee of €7 million (£4.75 million), while Valencia have agreed terms with Del Horno's brother, David, who acts as his agent.
The Spaniards are offering the 25-year-old a five-year contract worth an estimated €1.7 million (£1 million) a season.
If talks progress as expected, Del Horno should travel to Spain this weekend to tie up the formalities of the move and will then join the club's pre-season training camp in Holland next week.
Del Horno joined Chelsea last summer from Athletic Bilbao for a fee of £8 million but failed to truly convince as the club's first-choice left back.
It now appears almost certain that he will now get the chance to continue his career back in Spain's top-flight.
