Juventus leap in for Kulusevski

By Football Italia staff

Juventus have reportedly shot into the lead for Dejan Kulusevski, paying Atalanta €40-50m, but he’d remain on loan at Parma until June.

The Sweden international has been a sensation this season in Serie A, contributing four goals and seven assists in 17 Serie A appearances for Parma.

Still only 19, he has attracted interest from the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal, Napoli, Chelsea and Liverpool.

Inter had been the hot favourites to capture his signature, but this evening Sky Sport Italia and La Gazzetta dello Sport both report a sudden surge to the lead from Juventus.

It’s suggested Kulusevski has agreed basic personal terms, while the clubs are also close to working out a deal.

It’d be worth €30m plus up to €10m in various add-ons and bonuses, although La Gazzetta point towards €35m fixed fee plus €15m extras.

There would be a contract to June 2024 worth €2-3m per season.

He’d also be allowed to remain on loan at Parma for the rest of the season, but Sky Sport Italia expert Gianluca Di Marzio claims that could change if Juve send the Ducali a replacement in the form of Marko Pjaca.
