Report: Juventus To Sign Gaetano D’Agostino From Udinese On Monday

According to reports in the Corriere dello Sport, Juventus are set to complete the signing of Udinese playmaker Gaetano D’Agostino on Monday, after a decisive meeting between the Friulans and Juve director of sport, Alessio Secco, in Milan.

Yesterday, Udinese president Giampaolo Pozzo warned the Old Lady that D’Agostino is worth €30 million and insisted that he wants at least two players in part-exchange.

Pozzo mentioned the names of Sebastian Giovinco, Claudio Marchisio and Paolo De Ceglie but it is suggested that Juve are only willing to sacrifice the wing-back, as new boss Ciro Ferrara is keen to keep hold of Marchisio and the ‘Atomic Ant’.

Juve are apparently prepared to put around €6m in cash on Udinese’s table plus the co-ownership of De Ceglie and full ownership Michele Paolucci, who is already co-owned by the two clubs, but was loaned out to Catania last summer.
