It had been suggested the total package would be worth around €9m, but that Young Boys had increased the asking price due to growing interest.

Now the French media insist the deal can be struck for €10m including add-ons, plus a 10 per cent cut of the future profit from any sale.

The original offer was turned down at €7m and slowly increased with the use of performance-related bonuses.

Athekame is a 20-year-old right-back who can also play in a more advanced attacking role down that flank.

He only recently signed a new contract with Young Boys to June 2029 and is expected to undergo his medical tests within the next 48 hours.
