Sean Morrison will join Cardiff City in a £4 million deal.

The 23-year-old centre-back told Reading boss Nigel Adkins yesterday morning he wanted to talk with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer about a switch to the Bluebirds.

And getreading.co.uk understands the defender was reluctantly given permission to travel to Wales later in the afternoon to thrash out terms.

Morrison will become the second Reading player to join Cardiff this summer, following Adam Le Fondre’s £2.5m transfer in May.

A disappointed Adkins said: “Sean came to see me and said he wanted to speak to Cardiff.

“He saw the director of football (Nick Hammond) as well to reiterate what he said to me.

“So via agents, a lot of things have been said.”

It is thought Cardiff will pay Reading £3m up front for Morrison, but the fee will eventually reach £4m with add-ons.

The sale will give Royals a large profit on the £250,000 they spent to bring the defender to the club from Swindon Town in 2011.

Adkins, who confirmed Morrison has not handed in a transfer request, added: “All through the transfer window players become unsettled, history tells us that.
