Paper talk: Spurs target set for Juve medical, Inter & Man Utd Nainggolan hope

Juventus are closing in on the signing of Douglas Costa, according to various reports in Italy. La Gazzetta dello Sport, Il Corriere dello Sport and Tuttosport confirm the Brazilian will be moving to Turin in the coming hours as the Old Lady’s CEO Beppe Marotta is flying to Munich to finalize the Brazilian’s transfer.

Douglas Costa had also been linked with a move to Tottenham but Juventus have managed to welcome the player’s services on loan with option to buy. Our transfer pundit Fabrizio Romano has revealed the details of Douglas Costa’s Juventus move and Italian papers claim the 26-year-old will have his medical with Juventus tomorrow.

Meantime, executives of Inter and Manchester United are keeping a close eye on the situation of Radja Nainggolan.

The Belgium star is still waiting for Roma to offer him a contract extension with pay rise. Nainggolan signed a contract extension less than one year ago but the club had promised him he would have got a pay rise as well.

La Gazzetta dello Sport reports Nainggolan is on a € 3.2 million-a-year deal at Roma and that he expects Roma to offer him a new € 4.5/5 million-a-year deal, bonuses included.

The former Cagliari star rejected Chelsea’s € 6 million-a-year offer last summer and Manchester United’s € 7.5 million-a-year offer less than two months ago. The player wants to stay at Roma but is also nervous due to his club’s reluctance to offer him a new deal.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma would be open to listen to offers in the region of € 50 million with Inter and Manchester United still interested in signing the talented midfielder.
