Verona working on Santiago and Bradaric agreements | OneFootball

Hellas Verona are working on two deals, negotiating with free agent Yellu Santiago and trying to bring Domagoj Bradaric back from Salernitana.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the Stadio Bentegodi side are very active on the transfer market this evening.

The first talks are with a free agent, as Santiago saw his contract with Getafe run down on June 30.

The 21-year-old midfielder played for Spain at Under-18 level and has also been linked with Parma, Torino and Deportivo Alaves in recent weeks, but it seems as if Verona are threatening to get there first.

A product of the Valencia youth academy who joined Getafe a year ago, Santiago is a box to box midfielder with 37 LaLiga appearances to his name.

The other negotiations for Hellas are with one of their former players, as Bradaric spent last season at the Stadio Bentegodi on loan from Salernitana.

Now Verona want to make it permanent, or at least renew the loan with an option to buy at the end of the season.

The left-back made 28 Serie A appearances for Verona last term, scoring one goal, to help them survive in the top flight.
