Sassuolo open talks with Sheffield United over Seriki loan with obligation to buy

Sassuolo have made an official move for Femi Seriki, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that the Italian club are offering €1 million to take the 24-year-old right-back on loan. The deal would also include an obligation to buy for €5 million. Seriki is one of Sassuolo's key targets as they look to strengthen the right side of their defense, and the two clubs are currently in negotiations. A decision on the English defender's future is expected soon. He made 39 appearances last season, scoring one goal and registering six assists. The transfer news comes after Sassuolo officially confirmed Alberto Aquilani as their new head coach.
