Manchester United have completed the signing of Matteo Darmian on a 4 year contract from Torino for a fee of €18m, plus €2million in bonuses according to widespread reports in Italy today (translation required), including the reliable SKY Italia.
News of Damian's potential transfer to United broke early this week and the Old Trafford club have moved quickly to secure the promising Italian right back's signature.
Journalist Gianluca DiMarzio previously stated that United and Darmian's representatives had been in discussions for around 4 months, with just a fee to be agreed between the Premier League side and Torino.
And now, reports from Italy suggest that sticking point has been resolved with a fee of just over £14million being agreed between the clubs. United and Torino will now work to iron out any minute details before announcing the players transfer.
Darmian will be a welcome addition to the Red Devils squad with Louis van Gaal's side using winger Antonio Valencia as a right back for the majority of last season.
25-year-old Matteo Darmian is highly rated in Italy and has impressed for the Italian national team, being a noted positive in an otherwise dismal World Cup for the Azzurri last year.
