The medical examination has been completed. The two clubs have exchanged documents for consideration. And it is expected that the official announcement will be made no later than this week. After Girona’s game at Real Betis (August 15).
In fact, Lopez was approached by Valencia but had to wait for goalkeeper Georgi Mamardashvili to finalise a move to England first. But the veteran goalkeeper did not want to wait any longer and decided on Girona.
