Franco Cervi close to joining Celta Vigo

Celta Vigo are taking advantage of the last few days of the transfer market to boost the quality of their squad with new signings. The latest to arrive will be Franco Cervi. 

According to 'AS', the Galician outfit have struck a deal with Benfica. The La Liga side will pay around eight million euros. 

But there is still something that has to happen before the transfer can be completed. Franco Cervi will occupy one of the non-EU spots, but Celta Vigo do not have any free, at the moment. The club must first wait for Lucas Olaza to leave before announcing the signing. 

Celta are hoping to confirm Olaza's departure before completing the deal with Benfica and Franco Cervi.
