Earlier on Tuesday, we covered an article regarding Denis Zakaria and a potential transfer to West Ham United, which is still being negotiated with Juventus.
It was said the Hammers were in a tug of war with the Turin side to get the best deal, but the fact Cristiano Giuntoli raised the price for the Switzerland international didn’t help.
Tuttosport bring their update on the situation, and are far more confident that a deal between West Ham and the Serie A side will be struck.
They state that the player doesn’t lack suitors, with some Bundesliga sides interested, while Aston Villa are also keen.
It’s recalled that Juventus ‘have been in close contact’ with the Hammers over the past few weeks, and their request is still set at €20m, while West Ham are trying to ‘obtain a discount’.
Every club will want what’s best for them, and that’s regardless of the fact that their coffers have been comfortably filled by the sale of Declan Rice, which has, in turn, ‘raised their ambitions on the market’.
Still, it’s said that Zakaria ‘remains a concrete target’, and the belief is that, with the addition of Aston Villa in the mix, the exit of the midfielder ‘should be closed’ in the ‘coming days’.
