The transfer, which is subject to a medical revision and a signature, will see the Uruguayan leave Espanyol in the coming days, and the plan is for him to bid an official farewell to the club next week.
Stuani joined Espanyol in August of 2012, and last season saw him notch 12 goals through 37 appearances, 22 of which were as a substitute.
103 - Christian Stuani has played 103 games in La Liga during the three seasons and he has scored 25 goals. Factor.
