Juventus close to signing Hernanes from Inter

Juventus have finally found a new trequartista for coach Massimiliano Allegri, as they are set to land Hernanes from rivals Inter.

The Bianconeri have long been in the market for a new No.10 at the request of their tactician, faltering in moves for the likes of Bayern Munich’s Mario Gotze and Schalke’s Julian Draxler throughout the summer.

Gazzetta dello Sport is now reporting that the two clubs have agreed a deal, with Hernanes moving to Turin outright for €11m.

The website of the newspaper reports that the deal was officially given the green light once Inter had secured Felipe Melo from Galatasaray.

Hernanes is believed to have already accepted the move to Juventus, and will now undergo a medical before signing his contract.

Hernanes featured in 52 appearances for the Nerazzurri, scoring seven goals in all competitions.
