Speaking on Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel, journalist Matteo Moretto has reported that Everton target Alexander Sorloth is set to join Serie A giants Juventus.
The 30-year-old has agreed personal terms with Juve, so all that’s left to be sorted is the transfer fee between the two clubs.
“So, in the last few hours, Juventus has reached an agreement on the contract with Sorloth, so there is an agreement, a basis of understanding between Juventus and Sorloth regarding the contractual terms,: Moretto stated.
“Sorloth said yes to Juventus. Sorloth wants to be central to the project, and Juventus is currently guaranteeing him everything he needs.”
