Ghana striker Felix Afena-Gyan has agreed to join Serie A newcomers Cremonese and the transfer is nearly complete, Ghanasoccernet can report.
Roma and Cremonese reached agreement for permanent transfer earlier this week, and the young striker has finally accepted to leave the Italian capital.
Afena-Gyan is likely to undergo medical at Cremonese on Saturday before signing the contract.
Cremonese will pay Roma 6 million euros plus 3 million euros in add-ons.
Several clubs expressed interest in the 19-year-old but Cremonese have won the race and are preparing to announce Afena-Gyan as their new player.
The impending departure of Afena-Gyan is surprising given that he signed a long-term contract with Roma earlier in the transfer window. He agreed to stay until 2026.
He was expected to leave the club on loan, with Roma intending to replace him with an experienced forward, but the club have decided to sell him.
Afena-Gyan started last season with U-19 team but got promoted to the first team afer impressing manager Jose Mourinho.
He made his debut against Cagliari in Serie A in November 2022, before scoring his first two goals in the victory over Genoa.
