Juventus defender Jonathan Zebina has agreed to join Milan at the end of the season, according to reports in Italy.
The stopper is contracted to the Bianconeri until June 2009, but is allegedly looking for a new home in Milan as his adventure with the Turin outfit seems near to an end.
Il Corriere dello Sport reports that the Frenchman has been in contact with Rossoneri officials and the two parties have reached an agreement in principle, which should be finalised shortly.
The player joined the Old Lady in 2003 from Roma along with Coach Fabio Capello and initially impressed.
However, he’s been plagued by injury problems over the last two years and is believed to have a frosty relationship with new boss Didier Deschamps.
The former Cannes man was already a reported target for the Via Turati outfit in 2005, when the full-back was considered surplus to requirements at Juve.
Zebina has now been identified as an ideal player to begin the rebuilding process for a Rossoneri defence in urgent need of rejuvenation.
In the meantime, Juve general director Jean-Claude Blanc has confirmed that the Bianconeri are planning some major signings in view of their likely return to Serie A.
“We will immediately build a strong side and it will be even better in 2010, when we will also have a new stadium,” said Blanc.
“Sporting director Alessio Secco has been travelling a lot all over Europe to view many players, we will have some important new signings.”
