Juventus agreed with Olympique de Marseille on the terms of the transfer of Arkadiusz Milik, informed Gianluca Di Marzio.
The “Old Lady” representatives sought halfway through the summer window to reestablish their cooperation with Álvaro Morata after failing to make his definitive buyout with Atlético Madrid for 35 million euros.
The team from Spain, however, showed no desire to get rid of the striker for a much lower sum. As a result, the Turin team was forced to look around for other options and initially focused on working out an agreement with Memphis Depay.
Juventus has achieved a partial success in this field in persuading the Dutchman to move to Italy from Barcelona, but on the condition that he terminates his contract with the “Duma of Catalonia” earlier.
The 28-year-old player had been negotiating the terms of his break with the Camp Nou team for a relatively long time and when it seemed that his transfer would enter a decisive phase, he began to expect a larger sum for signing a two-year contract.
The “Old Lady” did not like this approach to the subject. For this reason, the authorities of the titled team once again looked favorably at Arkadiusz Milik, who relatively quickly lost his position in Olympique de Marseille after the last moves made by the French team.
The team from Turin quickly got down to business and worked out an agreement with OM.
Gianluca Di Marzio confirmed earlier reports from Corriere dello Sport of a proposal to loan a striker for two million euros with an option to buy for eight million euros. Not only that, he informed that the club from the Stade Vélodrome agreed to it.
The journalist in question emphasizes that the fact that the terms of the 28-year-old’s transfer have been agreed does not mean his arrival at the Allianz Stadium, as now coach Massimiliano Allegri will meet Juventus officials to make the final decision on choosing a partner or substitute for Dušan Vlahovic. There are two options – Depay or Milik.
