On Wednesday, Tutto Juve reported Juvenuts have received West Ham United’s €15m bid for Denis Zakaria, which was €5m short of the fee requested by the Turin club.
Friday’s Tuttosport states the Serie A side’s sporting director, Giovanni Manna, is working to carry out several exits in the summer window, including that of the 26-year-old.
West Ham’s interest is highlighted as the outlet states they’ve made a bid of around €18m for the midfielder. This is €3m more than their initial offer.
It’s claimed the Italian club’s director has already had ‘some calls’ with David Moyes’ side over a deal for Zakaria.
Juve, for their part, are aiming to collect €18-20m for the Switzerland international.
The report states intermediaries, along with the two clubs, are trying to find an agreement to meet the Old Lady’s demands. The details need to be sorted out for Massimiliano Allegri’s side to sanction the player’s sale in this window.
Tuttosport add Manna ‘will fly to London’ next week, where he’ll try to close Zakaria’s sale to West Ham, after they made an improved offer of €18m.
