Hellas Verona defender Josh Doig is reportedly "close" to a move to fellow Serie A side Sassuolo.
The Scotland under-21 international previously looked set for a transfer to Ligue 1 club Marseille before the deal fell through.
And now Gianluca Di Marzio claims that deal has been struck between the two Italian clubs with his current club poised to bank "€6million plus 10 per cent of any future fee".
This would see Hibernian academy gradate Doig net his old team a significant transfer windfall as they are due 27.5 per cent of the profit made by Hellas Verona which could be up to £500,000.
The 22-year-old has made 35 appearances for Hellas Verona, scoring twice and providing four assists.
He previously spoke about how much he was just enjoying life in Italy.
"It’s amazing there. It’s a different culture. It’s all new, the city, the layout, the people - everything is new but I’m embracing it as much as I can.
