Asamoah, Isla set for Juve

Udinese’s Kwadwo Asamoah and Mauricio Isla have moved a step closer to completing transfers to Juventus, as both undergo medicals this afternoon.

The 23-year-old versatile Ghanaian Asamoah has spent the last four seasons on the Zebrette’s books, whilst 24-year-old Chilean Isla has been with the Friulani since 2007, but both now look set to complete a move to the Italian champions Juve.

Reports this morning suggested that the Turin outfit had struck an agreement with Udinese patron Gino Pozzo to sign both midfielders on co-ownership agreements. Juventus will reportedly pay a total of €15m to take up 50 per cent of the duo’s registration, with both players equally valued in the deal at €7.5m.

Asamoah has been pictured arriving at the club for his medical this afternoon and Isla is expected to follow shortly afterwards.

Was there any photo of Isla? I only saw Asamoah.

I haven't seen any confirmation from Juventus. This morning, I saw more articles about Isla coming to Juve and how it was almost done than I saw about Asamoah. Now, it appears that Asamoah has come in for a physical.

I did read this article from eurosport on Isla this morning. His agent makes it sound like the deal is about to happen.


Isla on verge of Juventus move

Reports from Italy claim that a fee has been agreed between the Serie A champions and last season's third-placed side, and Isla's agent Claudio Vagheggi claims that negotiations are at an advanced stage.

"We are discussing the contract details right now," Vagheggi told tuttomercatoweb.com.

"There was an interest shown by several important clubs to acquire the player, but I believe Udinese's excellent rapport with Juve influenced negotiations."

Chile international Isla alerted top clubs in Italy and beyond to his availability in February when, after suffering a season-ending knee injury, he announced he would be leaving the Stadio Friuli at the end of the season.

The 24-year-old had scored three goals and set up another two in his 21 Serie A appearances prior to that injury.
