Yeah, bit misleading! Fee agreed but personal terms yet to be agreed... with someone who doesn't appear to want to agree personal terms!
I think we are the best option to have shown serious interest financially and for his career. Inter have dithered and done nothing solid. He's said he doesn't want to go to the Bundesliga, so Wolfsburg are out of it. Fulham say he's too costly but he would consider a move to England. Do not believe SFC come this far without any show of interest...
Yeah he did say he wanted to play in London but fingers crossed he can be convinced to come south a bit. What we have heard so far isn't too promising to be fair. I just noticed hes never spent more than 2 seasons at the same club... interesting.
In my world it would be more reliable when a newspaper prints it, dont know how that works out with the italian though? But on their websites they can post almost anything in their articles, but when it reaches the paper...?

But now the situation has changed, with the proposal of engagement that has gone from 2.5 to three million Euros . Southampton, Zenit, Benfica and Wolfsburg. These all in order not to Osvaldo, who has already Trigoria your luggage ready for a while but can not find the destination of his choice.

That the Giallorossi accepted. Now the entourage of Osvaldo is trying to get him to say yes to Southampton will not be the top club he wanted but in the end London is not so far away."
