Neuton close to signing Udinese deal

The 21-year-old centre-back is reportedly just inches away from a move to the Italian club in a €2 million switch.
Gremio defender Neuton is close to completing a switch to Udinese, the Italian club's representative in Brazil has revealed.

The Brazilian youngster has been strongly linked with a move to the Serie A side in the past days after the two clubs reportedly concurred on a €2 million deal.

Luciano Ramalho, who represents Udinese in Brazil, claims the only pending issues will be handled by Neuton's agent, Fabiano Carpegiani, during a trip to Italy later in the week.

"Everything between the clubs is settled. Only bureaucracy is left, because there is the agent's percentage of the deal, and also the player's," Ramalho told Globoesporte.

It is thought Carpegiani will fly to Italy on Wednesday, making it likely that Udinese will announce the transfer before the weekend.
