- 18-year-old set to fly to England in early January
- Ivorian had been waiting for Italian passport
The Atalanta winger Amad Diallo is set to fly to England in early January to complete his transfer to Manchester United, a €25m (£27.3m) plus add-ons deal that was agreed last summer.
The 18-year-old was waiting to receive an Italian passport, which would enable him to get the work permit to join Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s side, and that came through this week. United could end up paying €40m for the highly rated teenager if he reaches all the performance-related stipulations in his five-year deal.
