Parma 'agree deal to sign Matteo Darmian'

Parma have reportedly agreed a £1.4m deal with Manchester United for Matteo Darmian.

The 29-year-old only made seven appearances for United during the 2018-19 campaign, while he has not featured for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side in the early stages of this season.

On Thursday, it was reported that the Italy international was closing in on a move to an unnamed Italian club.

According to Sky in Italy, the team in question is Parma, who have agreed a £1.4m deal for the defender.

The report claims that Darmian will sign a three-year contract with the Italian outfit, with the move to be completed over the weekend once a medical has taken place.

The right-back was a regular during his first two seasons at Old Trafford but has struggled for action since, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka's big-money arrival during the summer pushed Darmian further down the pecking order.
