Real Mallorca this evening confirmed that the deal to bring Finidi George to Portman Road is done. The Spanish club said that they have now received the fax guaranteeing the reported £3.5 million offer.
Earlier reports said that Mallorca had not received the fax by their Monday evening deadline. This has now been resolved.
The player has been withdrawn from the squad for tomorrow's Champions' League game with Hadjuk Split. Had Finidi played in the game he would have been ineligible for all Town's UEFA Cup games this season.
It appears discussions are complete surrounding Finidi's owing signing-on fees and he has already agreed terms at Portman Road as well as passing a medical.
Town will now have to apply for a work permit before Finidi officially becomes a Town player, however as he has been a regular member, and occasional captain, of Nigeria for ten years this should not prove a problem.
