Verona have officially signed Greek international Lazaros Christodoulopoulos from Bologna.

The deal had been in the works over the last few days and hit problems when Domenico Maietta refused a move the other way.

This evening Hellas Verona released a statement confirming Christodoulopoulos has been bought outright without the need for an exchange.

The attacking midfielder and free kick specialist left Brazil after the end of Greece’s World Cup campaign.
