as seen on au.fourfourtwo.comSocceroo Carl Valeri is on the verge of agreeing to terms on a new contract with Serie B club US Grosseto, according to reports in Italy.
The 25-year-old Canberra-born midfielder has been out of favour at Grosseto for the last two months after a contractual dispute erupted between him and the club in early October.
It is believed with Valeri's current deal set to expire at the end of this season, Grosseto curiously demanded he extend the contract or not play. Valeri has been clear in the past about his wish to move on from the Serie B club to a bigger side.
But Valeri returned to the Grosseto squad as a substitute in the weekend's win over Ancona and now according to local website ViviGrossetoSport he is set to sign a deal with the club for a further two years.
In an interview with TuttoMercatoWeb last week, Grosseto sporting director Andrea Iaconi revealed: "We are negotiating the renewal of his contract and he is expected to sign in a few days."
Iaconi also insisted in the interview that Valeri would not play until he signed along the dotted line, which appears to not have been the case with no deal officially confirmed before Saturday's game.
Valeri has previously expressed his desire to step up to the next level and leave Grosseto at the season's end and the Serie B claim any transfer will depend on the market.
Serie A clubs Cagliari and Chievo Verona were linked with Valeri in the last European summer.
