CELTIC DO DONATI DEAL

The midfielder, 26, has agreed a four-year deal with the Scottish champions in a move reported to be worth in the region of £3million.

Donati will undergo a medical in Glasgow next week, having jetted into the UK earlier in the week to thrash out the move to Parkhead.

Donati is Celtic manager Gordon Strachan's fourth summer signing, as the Hoops aim for their third successive title.

Scott Brown joined from Hibernian in a £4.4million switch, while Motherwell and Hibs strikers Scott McDonald and Chris Killen were snapped up on Bosmans.

Donati began his career at Atalanta before a £10million deal took him to the San Siro in 2001.

In recent seasons he has had loan spells at a number of Serie A clubs, including Parma, Torino and Sampdoria, and last season was a regular for Atalanta.
