Witsel to Juventus remains only a matter of time as the parties involved have already expressed their desires. It could happen as a free transfer in June or in January with a relatively small investment. Juventus does not want to spend more than necessary for this type of transfer, and would be willing to purchase Witsel for around 6 to 7 million. There was pessimism in the past regarding a potential transfer taking place, but in recent hours Juve have gained some hope. However, Zenit remains a particular club whose subject to frequently changing strategy. Still, the purchase of Witsel remains the most probable for the January market.
Marotta and Paratici are also fans of Tolisso and N’Zonzi, players who have been on their radar for a while now. The costs would be high, and Lyon as well as Sevilla have a strong desire to hold onto those players until the end of the season. N’Zonzi’s buyout clause? About 30 million. In Spain they are certain that Juventus has already communicated their interest in activating his buyout clause (it would be the third time in a row after Pjanic and Higuain), but confirmations from either club have not arrived. The interest is, however, concrete. Juventus is certainly searching for a replacement who holds similar physical characteristics to Pogba. With regards to Goretzka of Schalke, a longtime target of Juve, the intention is to block his transfer until his contract runs out in a year and a half (June 30th, 2018).
