Despite being a significant underdog within the Serie A this season, Venezia are closing in on signing the ex-Manchester United Portuguese superstar Nani on a free transfer.
According to Gianluca di Marzio, the Portuguese winger has already arrived in the beautiful city of Venice in order to complete his return to the top-flight league in Italy.
After his contract expired Orlando FC at the end of the last year’s MLS campaign, Serie A sides such as Bologna and Genoa have expressed a great deal of interest in signing the Portuguese veteran. However, the negotiations between both clubs have collapsed, forcing Nani to explore a set of other potential avenues regarding his next destination.
Despite the fact that his arrival to Lazio in 2017 was a significant failure within his career after only scoring three goals in 18 appearances, the Portuguese star has an impressive resume.
Throughout his time at Manchester United, Nani has a played a pivotal role in helping the Red Devils in winning four Premier League titles, two league cups, three FA Community Shields, and the historical UEFA Champions League over Chelsea in 2008.
Furthermore, Nani has had an impressive 3-year spell in Orlando has the Portuguese veteran has managed to score 28 goals in 33 appearances within the MLS.
As a result, Venezia were keen on signing the Portuguese superstar and are currently underway to complete the surprising signing of Nani within the next couple of days after having reached n agreement with the 35 year-old winger. The club officials firmly believe that although Nani is towards the end of his career, he can play a vital role within the club through the use of his intricate dribbling skills, his ability to create spaces in wide areas, and his prolific goal-scoring capabilities when cutting inside from the flanks.
