Danish defender Victor Nelsson is set to return to Italy`s Serie A, joining Hellas Verona from Turkish club Galatasaray. The agreement is structured as a loan deal, including an option for Hellas Verona to make the transfer permanent for a total fee of €4 million. This move signifies Nelsson`s second spell in the Italian top flight, following a brief loan period with AS Roma.
Multiple reputable sources, including Sky Sport Italia, L’Arena newspaper, and Tuttomercatoweb, have confidently reported that all terms between the involved clubs have been successfully agreed upon, paving the way for the transfer.
The deal explicitly outlines a loan arrangement for the current season, granting Hellas Verona the right to complete the full transfer at the season`s conclusion for approximately €4 million, should they choose to exercise the option.
Nelsson`s Serie A Return with Hellas Verona Confirmed
The central defender previously experienced Serie A football last season, where he was on loan with AS Roma for six months, from February until the end of June, incurring a cost of €500,000 for the Giallorossi.
However, his impact during his time with Roma was somewhat limited, as he only managed to make five appearances for the club, with just one of those being a start.
At 26 years old, Nelsson is an established Danish international, having earned 16 senior caps for his national team since making his debut in November 2020.
He is scheduled to arrive in Italy on Wednesday to undergo the mandatory medical tests with Hellas Verona, after which the transfer is expected to be officially finalized.
