Juventus manager Giovanni Manna is scheduled to be in London this week, trying to sell Denis Zakaria to West Ham United and sign Timothy Castagne from Leicester City.
According to Calciomercato.com, the transfer manager has booked a flight and will be in London on Thursday for a series of meetings.
The main aim is to find a buyer for Zakaria, who has just returned from a loan spell at Chelsea when the club failed to activate his purchase option at the end of the season.
West Ham is the favourite, with interest also from Bournemouth, Lens and LOSC.
The asking price is €20m and the Hammers’ best offer so far remains €15m plus add-ons, so they hope this face-to-face meeting can help close that gap.
Manna’s other priority is securing Castagne, who is eager to return to Serie A after his experience with Atalanta and Leicester City’s relegation from the Premier League.
Here too, the asking price is €15m and the player has already agreed terms with Juve, but they hope to reduce the fee perhaps by loaning him out with an option to buy.
