The player has already agreed to join the Old Lady, so if a deal can’t be found with Zenit he will arrive in Turin for free next summer.
Meanwhile, Gianluca Di Marzio’s website reports that the latest offer for Chelsea’s Juan Cuadrado is a loan which becomes permanent after a certain number of appearances.
Juventus have been trying to bring the winger back, and it was reported earlier that the English club were now open to the possibility.
