After weeks and weeks of Juventus edging closer to Arsenal’s asking price for Wojciech Szczesny, it seems like there’s finally light at the end of the tunnel for the Poland international.
Left behind by the Gunners as the Premier League club jetted off on their preseason tour, the 26-year-old has just been waiting around (and we assume training by himself) for the two sides to reach an agreement, and that could happen in the next 72 hours.
The Italian newspaper state the gap between Arsenal and Juventus has grown smaller, and the player ‘is coming’ to Italy, and one of the ‘strong favourites’ to be a part of the Champions League finalists’ preseason squad on the 20th of July.
This corroborates a lot of reports claiming the player was getting closer to becoming Gianluigi Buffon’s successor in Turin, which should happen after one season spent mostly on the bench.
Worth the sacrifice? Szczesny seems to think so.
