Juventus have agreed a deal to sign Momo Sissoko from Liverpool for €13m and the transfer will become official this Sunday, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport.

Sissoko Deal Done, Official Confirmation On Sunday – Gazzetta

The 23-year-old midfielder has been strongly associated with the Bianconeri for several weeks now, with the only question seemingly being whether he would arrive in Turin this month or in June.

 

 

 

Sissoko will touch down in Turin on Sunday, where he will complete a routine medical, complete the final signature, before flying back to Ghana for the African Cup of Nations, where he is representing his country Mali.

 

 

 

Theoretically Sissoko is already a Juventus player after an agreement was reached yesterday over both a transfer fee and wages.

 

 

 

Juve will pay Liverpool €13m, with €11m being paid immediately, and another €2m after a set number of league and cup appearances.

 

 

 

Sissoko has agreed a four-and-a-half-year contract, with an option of an extra year after this. The player will receive a healthy €2.5m a year, which works out at just under €50,000 a week.

 

 

 

Juventus have been desperate to sign a centre midfielder this month following the disastrous performances of Tiago Mendes and Sergio Almiron, who were signed for a combined €22m last summer.

 

 

 

Sissoko had the chance to join the Old Lady last summer but he rejected the transfer in favour of signing a new contract at Liverpool.

 

 

 

This season he has barely featured for the Merseyside-based club, and it seems he has had a change of heart over a move to Italy’s most successful club.

He is a very good player, under rated because his passing was poor. We'll regret selling him if he fulfils his potential. Hopefully though, we sold him to buy Mascherano.

 

With Rafa on his way out (he still is isn't he?) then I really can't see this sale being a part of a Mascherano-deal It's more like covering some of the spending on Skrtel and the refinancing. If Rafa is to stay though, he would never, ever allow Sissoko to go and at the same time risk losing Mascherano. That's the same as tearing down what he's building.
