Deal reached to bring Saponara to Lecce: the update

The long negotiation to bring Riccardo Saponara to Lecce has become unstuck, and in the past few minutes the green light has been given by Fiorentina, who owns his rights. Fiorentina has reached an agreement with Lecce on a dry loan with no option to buy, through season's end. After a difficult first part of the season where Saponara appeared in only four matches at Genoa, he'll move to Lecce. The first half of his season was also complicated by several physical problems.
