Multiple reports in Italy claim Juventus are ready to send Denis Zakaria to West Ham for less than €20m so the two clubs could shake hands next week.
The Swiss international has returned to Turin after a disappointing one-year loan at Chelsea. He’s not on Massimiliano Allegri’s plans, and West Ham have already started negotiations with the Bianconeri.
Juventus’ asking price for the 26-year-old was €20m, but according to Gazzetta and Il Corriere dello Sport, the Serie A giants are now ready to sell the midfielder for €18m.
The Bianconeri are looking for a permanent transfer, while West Ham had made a loan offer with an option to buy for €18m earlier this week.
Sunday’s printed edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (page 4), claims Juventus have lowered their asking price and are confident the deal will be finalised next week.
Il Corriere dello Sport confirms Juventus could eventually agree to sell Zakaria for €18m.
