Kieron Bowie Agrees To Join Sassuolo in Reported £10m Move
Verona’s relegation has forced a quick sale that would fund the club’s rebuild and return roughly £500,000 to Hibernian under a sell-on clause.
Overview
- The reported deal emerged on Friday and says Sassuolo will pay about £10 million plus add-ons while Bowie has agreed a five-year contract running to 2031.
- Reports say Verona pursued a fast sale after dropping to Serie B so the club can raise money for a squad rebuild.
- Hibernian stand to receive roughly 15% of the profit from Bowie’s earlier January sale to Verona, which is expected to amount to about £500,000.
- Bowie scored four goals in 14 appearances for Verona, including strikes against Inter and Juventus, and he preferred to stay in Italy where he will join fellow Scot Josh Doig.
- One outlet calls the transfer official and reports an accompanying swap loan of Samuele Mulattieri to Verona, but most coverage treats the fee and contract terms as reported rather than confirmed by both clubs.
