Juventus have reportedly finalised their agreement with Paris Saint-Germain for Leandro Paredes, on loan with an obligation to buy for €15m plus another €5m in bonuses.
According to TyC Sports, Sportitalia and Sky Sport Italia, the deal was struck this evening and Paredes will be released to have his medical tomorrow.
The Argentina international had agreed personal terms with Juve many weeks ago and the only reason this move took so long was because the Bianconeri needed to release some of their midfield players to make room and balance the books.
Paredes will be the second PSG player to join Juventus this summer, following his good friend and fellow Argentine Angel Di Maria.
He was not even called up for Paris Saint-Germain’s match because coach Christophe Galtier confirmed the player already had his mind on Juve.
It is a return to Serie A for Paredes, as the 28-year-old has already played for Chievo, Empoli and Roma until leaving for Zenit St Petersburg in 2017.
this transfer taken far too long – yet its only 20m euros in total
Another one dimensional player added to the hexagon. PhD Max will be delighted. What a creative team and I am sure that will be give Maccabi Haifa a run for their money.
Compete PSG next week with unwanted players from PSG?

This isn’t Football Manager dude, the transfer fee was the least of our worries. High overall team salary was the issue.

Yeah, only typical idiots and people who don’t know anything about football would comment stuff like this.
Not excited about this. But when there’s McKennie and Rabiot still in the line-up, this guy will look like Zizou. And certainly, against most Serie A midfields, he’ll find it relatively easy.
Would have preferred someone with a more attacking mindset, but if he can do 70% of what Pirlo did and free up Locatelli I’ll be happy.
