El-Bilal Toure of Atalanta currently appears to be set to join Bundesliga side VfB Stuttgart after the two clubs finally agreed on the terms of the buy option included in the player's loan agreement.
Atalanta and Stuttgart finalize Toure arrangements.
According to rumors on Monday, Atalanta and Stuttgart had been negotiating the buy option in the transaction, despite having previously signed an agreement in principle for the player. Atalanta wanted it to be an obligation to make the move permanent, although Stuttgart had considered an optional buy clause.
According to transfer analyst Fabrizio Romano, the two clubs have now reached an agreement on a loan deal with a necessary buy option.
Toure is consequently anticipated to join the Bundesliga at an initial cost of €4 million for the season. The Germans will then pay a further €18 million plus €2 million in add-ons, as well as a 15% sell-on clause, to ensure the move is permanent.
Stuttgart and Toure had previously agreed on personal terms at the beginning of August.
Toure became Atalanta's most expensive signing ever with a €30 million move from Almeira last summer, but he suffered immediate injuries and struggled to overtake Gianluca Scamacca in the pecking order upon his comeback.
