Both Liverpool and Valencia have tonight issued statements revealing that they have agreed personal terms with Jan Kromkamp and Josemi respectively.
On the official Liverpool FC website is a simple statement from the club’s spokesma Ian Cotton, who says: “In principle we have reached an agreement and hope the transfer can be concluded next week.”
Valencia’s official website reveals a little more, in that Josemi has agreed to the terms of a four-and-a-half-year contract, and he will sign subject to him passing the medical.
Apart from both players passing their medicals and all sides ensuring no piece of small print has been missed, the only other obstacle is to wait for the New Year and the opening of the transfer window.
