Juventus completing a trade agreement with AS Monaco for Denis Zakaria

The Bianconeri have identified numerous players on their squad who are regarded surplus to requirements, fueling their desire to sell them during current transfer window. West Ham first expressed interest in signing Zakaria. However, the English club has subsequently dropped out of contention, opening the door for the midfielder to join AS Monaco.

The negotiating procedure with the French club was not without difficulties, necessitating many rounds of meetings. Finally, Juventus was able to reach a deal, allowing one of the players who was no longer essential to their objectives to go. AS Monaco is said to have paid a price of over 23 million euros, including add-ons, to acquire Zakaria's services. This trade benefits Juventus by representing a profit on a player they purchased and used for only six months.
