Hellas Verona finds itself at the center of attention as an offer has reportedly been made by Spain’s Granada for their 25-year-old Cameroonian midfielder, Martin Hongla. The player, a key figure in Verona’s squad this season, could be on the verge of a significant move to La Liga, with Granada proposing a €3 million deal to secure Hongla’s services.
The revelation comes from sources close to the Africafoot editorial team, shedding light on Granada’s eagerness to bolster their squad with the addition of the versatile midfielder.
Hongla, once associated with FC Barcelona B, has been a prominent player for Verona this season, featuring in 15 out of 18 Serie A matches. His current market value is estimated at €2.8 million, according to Transfermarkt, making him a valuable asset in the ongoing transfer window.
Despite the interest and a substantial offer on the table, the deal is not without its complexities.
Hongla, whose existing contract with Hellas Verona extends until 2026, is reportedly seeking a loan arrangement with a compulsory purchase option, contingent upon Granada maintaining their position in the Spanish first division.
This condition, however, may pose a hurdle in finalizing the transaction as Granada is purportedly inclined towards a permanent acquisition.
As both clubs navigate the intricacies of this potential transfer, the outcome remains uncertain.
Hellas Verona, currently gearing up for their upcoming Serie A clash against Inter Milan on the 19th matchday, might find themselves adjusting to changes in their midfield dynamics if the deal materializes.
The football community eagerly awaits further developments, making this transfer saga one of the focal points of the ongoing transfer window.
