Report: Diego to Wolfsburg deal Wednesday 11 August, 2010
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The German media insist Juventus have accepted a €16m offer to sell Diego to Wolfsburg.
The Bianconeri are thought to be in intensive negotiations with the Bundesliga side over their Brazilian talent.
At first the clubs were hoping to engage a swap deal to bring hitman Edin Dzeko to Turin, but Wolfsburg maintain he is not for sale.
Newspaper ‘Bild’ claims that a meeting between director general Dieter Hoeness and his Juve counterpart Beppe Marotta proved decisive.
It is suggested that Juve have already accepted a €16m offer for Diego and that now they are discussing personal terms.
The former Werder Bremen star is asking for around €7m per season, but this is likely to be lowered in talks.
If Wolfsburg baulk at these terms, then it is reported Schalke 04 could intercept with their own bid.
Juventus must sell before they can buy and are lining up a €22m proposal for Olympique Lyonnais full-back Michel Bastos.
