A medical is set for the J-Centre in Turin on Wednesday morning and he’ll stay tonight at the brand new J-Hotel, based in the Continassa training complex.
According to De Telegraaf, the delay of 24 hours was because Juventus had tried to pay €75m including performance-related bonuses, but Ajax demanded the full sum as a fixed fee, albeit with payment spread out over instalments.
