I'm not going to say welcome to Iago yet until it is a done deal, which it isn't. No matter what we read on the offal or elsewhere, it is not quite done yet.
Several media outlets reporting that the move is subject to 'international clearance.'
For those that don't know, international clearance is the requirement of any national football association. It is basically an application form filled out by the player to register with our football association, the player cannot then be registered until our football association receives an International Registration Transfer Certificate from the football association of his previous playing country (Spain).
Just thought i'd let people know, i didn't know myself so i looked it up.
With the supposed pay off that Aspas has to make regarding buying out his contract with Celta Vigo then i supose this Certificate is being withheld until it is sorted out maybe?.
