CM: Juventus set to beat Milan, Dortmund and Roma to striker – the background

AC Milan are set to miss out on the signing of Tommaso Mancini as the Vicenza striker has chosen to join Juventus, a report claims.

According to Calciomercato.com, Mancini has chosen to join Juve this summer, with the 18-year-old having removed all doubts by declaring his intention to move to the Old Lady.

Milan were the first to move for Mancini and had reached a total agreement with Vicenza on the basis of €2m fixed with around €500k in potential bonuses.

However, when it came to negotiating personal terms, the request made by the boy’s father was deemed too high by the Rossoneri management.

Now Juventus have a clear path to reach the finish line, with Roma and Borussia Dortmund still interested but lagging behind. At the moment there is no agreement between Juve and Vicenza and a decisive summit is already scheduled for this week to try and close the deal.
