Monaco agree verbally to sign Erik Lira
Fabrizio Romano reports AS Monaco reached a verbal deal for Mexican midfielder Erik Lira: €8m plus €3m add-ons and a 20% sell-on for Cruz Azul.
AS Monaco has taken a big step toward signing Mexican midfielder Erik Lira. Fabrizio Romano says the club has reached a verbal agreement in principle for the transfer.
The terms outlined by the source include €8m plus €3m in add-ons, along with a 20% sell-on clause for Cruz Azul. Romano also states that the player’s personal terms are already agreed, so the key pieces are in place.
Just one more step
The final part of the process is still pending: Monaco need to free an extra squad slot. Only once that space is available can the deal move from “agreed in principle” to the next stage of the paperwork.
So while the structure of the deal is clear, this remains short of official confirmation because of that registration/roster requirement.
