According to Sky Sport Italia and more, Denis Zakaria will be in Turin tonight after Juventus agreed a €5m plus bonuses move with Borussia Monchengladbach.
The midfielder is into the final five months of his contract with the Bundesliga outfit, so was able to leave for a small fee rather than let him go as a free agent in July.
Goal.com and Sky Sport Italia maintain the two clubs have reached an agreement for €5m plus another €2-3m in add-ons.
Zakaria is expected to fly in tonight, his medical has been scheduled for tomorrow morning at the J-Medical Centre and he can then sign a contract until June 2026 with the Bianconeri.
Tuttomercatoweb maintain his salary will be an initial €3m per season, rising every summer.
The 25-year-old has 40 senior caps for Switzerland, in which he scored three goals.
He made 18 competitive appearances for Borussia Monchengladbach this season, contributing two goals and one assist.
Zakaria is the replacement for Rodrigo Bentancur, who is expected to fly to London today for his medical for a €19m plus €6m add-ons move to Tottenham Hotspur.
Dejan Kulusevski is also heading to Spurs on an 18-month loan for €5m with obligation to buy for a further €30m if certain conditions are met, specifically Tottenham qualifying for the Champions League and the Swede playing half their games.
Denis Zakaria to Juventus, done deal and here we go! Agreement reached for €5m fee plus add ons to Borussia Moenchengladbach. ⚪️⚫️ #Juventus

I am so impressed by the masterful effort Cherubini has put forth in the winter mercato! Shocking that he was able to pull these moves off. Now please resign LaJoya!
