Paul-José Mpoku Set for Serie A Return with Chievo Verona Move
Congolese international Paul-José Mpoku is reportedly on the verge of making a return to Serie A, with Chievo Verona poised to secure his signature. According to Voetbalprimeur and Het Laatste Nieuws, the Italian side is prepared to pay €3.9 million to Standard Liège for the 23-year-old attacking midfielder.
Mpoku had spent the first half of 2015 on loan at Cagliari, where he impressed despite the club’s relegation battle. However, complications with a move to Al-Arabi—which failed to pay Standard the agreed fee—forced the player back to Belgium, where he remained in limbo during the summer.
Now, a fresh opportunity awaits in Italy, where Mpoku is expected to reignite his career in calcio. A move to Chievo Verona would allow the dynamic midfielder to continue developing in a league that suits his technical style and provides consistent top-flight competition.
For Standard, the €3.9 million transfer would mark the end of a complicated chapter in Mpoku’s transfer saga, while Chievo stand to gain a young, talented player with proven European experience.
