In the last few hours, information has come from Italy that assures that the Catalan team and the US Salernitana have signed a loan agreement with the Dutch footballer. Vilhena is leaving on loan for one year with an option to purchase 3.5 kilos. The best thing for Espanyol is that his file will be covered 100% by the transalpine entity.
