Negotiations between Lorient and Sassuolo were long and complex for Armand Laurienté, but this long soap opera is coming to an end.
The two clubs found common ground in the morning for the transfer of the Lorient striker.
The exact compensation for the operation has not yet filtered, but it would be around 12 million euros including bonus, with a percentage for resale.
Holder Sunday against Clermont (2-1), Armand Laurienté, under contract until 2024, most certainly played his last match with Lorient.
He received the approval of his club in the morning to go to Italy.
He should travel at the end of the day and will pass his medical examination with the team of the province of Modena on Tuesday.
If everything goes smoothly, the former Rennais, who was not in training on Monday morning, will therefore have his first experience abroad.
Earlier during the transfer window, Torino had also looked into his case but negotiations had failed with Lorient, leaving the field open to Sassuolo who had to be patient to convince the Breton leaders.
Expert in free kicks, Armand Laurienté, 6 goals and 2 assists last season, signed a masterful one at the Stadium of Toulouse (2-2), on August 21st.
He had also caused the penalty for the equalizer in favor of the Hakes during the same match.
