Amauri To Juve, Almost Done
It seems that Juventus are about to sign Brazilian striker Amauri from Palermo.
After one of the most intense and exciting Serie A seasons in recent memory, it's already time for the transfer season again. It seems the first big move is already about to be announced, as Juventus and Palermo have allegedly reached an agreement for the transfer of Brazilian striker Amauri.
It's certainly not news that Juve were tracking the player, but what's surprising is how fast the two parties have reached the agreement. According to Italian daily 'Il Corriere dello Sport', Palermo's decision to give up on Juventus-owned Empoli playmaker Sebastian Giovinco was decisive. The player had been requested by the Rosanero for a long time, but the Turin-based club want to hold on to the talented youngster.
Now it seems Maurizio Zamparini's club will receive 12 million euros for Amauri, along with the ownership of midfielder Antonio Nocerino and the co-ownership of striker Davide Lanzafame.
The player will receive 3.5 million euros per season until 2012, with a series of potential bonuses depending on his performances. Amauri could find himself in Turin to undergo the medical tests and sign his new contract already tomorrow. It looks like this will be first big transfer saga that comes to an end this year...
