Midfielder Stoke City Giannelli Imbul is close to the transition to Roma for 10 million pounds.

Imbula moved to Stoke City from Porto in February 2016 for a record for the Goncharov 18.3 million pounds.

However, the Frenchman failed to gain a foothold in the team of Mark Hughes and this season he spent only 12 matches in the Premier League.

The last time he went to the starting lineup on December 27 in a match against Liverpool and since then even rarely gets in the team's bid.

Stoke will be ready to suffer a serious financial loss and part with the 24-year-old midfielder for only 10 million pounds.
