Report: Krasic set to join Juve Wednesday 28 July, 2010
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are reports in Russia that CSKA Moscow winger Milos Krasic will join Juventus by the end of the week.
Juventus held a round of talks with CSKA last month, but couldn’t agree a fee amid competition from Manchester City and Fenerbahce.
CSKA had hoped to start an auction, but Krasic’s desire to move to Turin has turned other bidders off him.
Soviet Sport understands CSKA have now accepted an offer from Juventus, which is said to be worth between €15m and €17m.
Krasic isn’t now expected to feature in the Moscow derby against Spartak on Sunday.
If Juventus sign Krasic, the Serbia international midfielder will take up the one and only non-EU place in their squad for this coming season.
However, he will fill a much-needed hole in Juventus’ squad, making a new left-back the only outstanding requirement on Gigi Del Neri’s wish list.
