AS Roma’s Felix Afena-Gyan is set to join Serie A newcomers Cremonese on a permanent transfer.
According to reports in Italy, an agreement has been reached for the Ghana international to switch to Cremonese.
Cremonese reportedly offered 7 million euros, which Roma accepted, allowing the young striker to leave the Italian capital.
There is no buy-back clause in the agreement.
Several clubs expressed interest in the 19-year-old but Cremonese have won the race and are preparing to announce Afena-Gyan as their new player.
The impending departure of Afena-Gyan is surprising given that he signed a long-term contract with Roma earlier in the transfer window. He agreed to stay until 2026.
He was expected to leave the club on loan, with Roma intending to replace him with an experienced forward, but the club have decided to sell him.
Afena-Gyan started last season with U-19 team but got promoted to the first team afer impressing manager Jose Mourinho.
He made his debut against Cagliari in Serie A in November 2022, before scoring his first two goals in the victory over Genoa.
