Juventus-Ogbonna breakthrough?

There are reports Juventus have agreed a €15m deal with Torino for Angelo Ogbonna, freezing out Napoli.

The two local rivals met on numerous occasions over the past few weeks to discuss the Italy defender.

It had seemed as if talks were on the verge of collapse after Napoli came in with a €15m offer, but Tuttosport claim Ogbonna will only accept Juve.

With this in mind, it is reported Juventus agreed a €12m fee with a further €3m in performance-related bonuses during a meeting this morning.

Ciro Immobile was to be used as part of the deal, but Genoa – who co-own the Under-21 international striker with Juventus – protested.

Tuttosport suggest Immobile will go to Torino eventually, but in entirely separate negotiations from the Ogbonna move.

15 mln is a high price for a backup defender but i see Ogbonna as perfect backup for Chiellini.Hopefuly Chiello will have a injury-free season otherwise we need a strong def like Ogbonna to replace him.

we paid the same for bonnucci and look at him now

actually now reports say it iwll be 9mil + 6 mil bonuses

seems like a fair price...especially when you look at how many teams are interested in him + us being rivals
