Transfer targets that have been followed for weeks, even months but now Juventus are closing in on Axel Witsel and Juan Cuadrado.
 

As calciomercato.com reported yesterday, Juan Cuadrado will be heading to Turin but the terms of the agreement are slightly different Juve’s original offer. The bianconeri will pay Chelsea €5 million for an initial loan-deal followed by another €20 million next summer that will see the Colombian become a full-time Juventus player.
 

Belgian midfielder Axel Witsel has been high on Juve’s wanted list all summer; now it seems as though the 27-year-old is just a short step away from completing his move. His current club Zenit St Petersburg are holding out for a bigger bonus payment and last night the bianconeri upped their bid to €18 million (including bonus) which looks to have settled the deal. The player has already arrived in Turin and will undergo a medical today.
