Merih Demiral's future could be in black and blue. After Juventus was willing to move the player on loan with option to buy, the negotiations are in the final stages between the two clubs.
The Turkish defender is close to moving to Atalanta where he would be able to play with more consistency. The deal is at the stage where final details are being worked out: the total between the loan fee and the option to buy is worth slightly under 30 million euros.
Demiral's likely move to Atalanta will unlock Romero to Tottenham: the English club presented an offer worth 55 million euros including bonuses to secure the Argentine defender. The player will sign a 5 year contract with Spurs.
The offer was accepted by Atalanta, who wanted to secure a replacement before accepting the offer from Spurs. With Demiral steps away from joining, Romero is free to leave La Dea.
