Arsenal Football Club goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny is set to join Juventus for $13million. Meanwhile, Arsenal defender Mathieu Debuchy is undergoing medical ahead of a move to French Ligue 1 club OGC Nice. In Italy, Juventus have joined Liverpool Football Club in the race for SSS Lazio center defender Stefan De Vrij. Here's a complete report of the latest transfer updates making the rounds:
Szczesny joins Juventus this summer window
Wojciech Szczesny has spent two years on loan at AS Roma, and he's now ready to leave the Emirates permanently this summer.
Serie A champions Juventus Football Club have been tracking Wojciech Szczesny all summer and now they appear to have “finally” snapped him up. A deal has been agreed between the both clubs for the Poland international, and he'll join the Italian club for $13million, according to the Guardian. The Polish goalkeeper will fly to Turin this week to finalize personal terms and undergo his medicals.
Mathieu Debuchy is set to join OGC Nice
Mathieu Debuchy has apparently fallen down the pecking order at the Emirates and has been “itching” to leave Arsenal Football Club for some time now. The 31-year-old Frenchman enjoyed a loan spell at Girondin Bordeaux last season and it was said he may return to France this summer.
However, the right back is set to join OGC Nice, and he's currently undergoing his medicals there, according to the Sun. Debuchy is under contract with the Gunners until the summer of 2019, but he is expected to sign for OGC Nice on a free transfer.
Juventus enters chase to sign Stefan de Vrij
Juventus are in the transfer market for a new center back this summer window after selling Leonardo Bonucci to AC Milan for $45.6million.
And now the Italian champions have added Stefan de Vrij to their list of potential replacements, according to the Sun. De Vrij has massively impressed for SSS Lazio after joining the Italian club in 2014 from Dutch Eredivisie side Feyenoord off the back of helping the Holland national team reach the semifinals of the FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
The Dutchman has “regularly” been linked with a move to Premier League since then and most recently English giants Liverpool FC have been tracking the 25-year-old center back. Like Juve, Liverpool Football Club wants to add a new center back this summer window and Stefan de Vrij is one of their top transfer targets after a deal for Southampton center defender Virgil van Dijk apparently collapsed, The Daily Star noted.
