French central midfielder Jordan Veretout was due to undergo a medical yesterday with St Étienne ahead of signing a 4-year-deal with Les Verts, but he never arrived in France as planned.
Aston Villa received a considerable offer from Fiorentina very early on Wednesday morning, the exact amount is currently unknown. This €7m bid has made fragile a deal between St Étienne and Aston Villa (€4.5m), at least for now.
