Various reports in Italy suggest that Juventus have secured a deal for French midfielder Corentin Tolisso.
The Bianconeri have been linked with the Lyon midfielder since last summer when it was reported on various news outlets that they had scouted Tolisso on numerous occasions.
Sky Sport Italia went on to report that Beppe Marotta and Fabio Paratici had set their sights on the 22-year-old as their main target for this summers transfer market.
Corriere Dello Sport journalist Ant Barilla reported the same story, suggesting that Juve had something big in store for this summer which would include Tolisso and Mahmoud Dahoud.

Following on from those reports, RAISport suggest that Marotta has already secured Tolisso from Lyon in a deal that will cost Juve €30m plus bonuses with the player set to sign a 5 year contract, earning €3m per year.
Tolisso is CLASS!!! .. but Mahmoud Dahoud? i am not convinced he is just over hyped if you ask me. His skills arent that of a Juventino, Didnt he have a good season like two sesons back? and not a peep since!
dahoud is going to Dortmund.
Would be a very promising signing. I just retain a suspicious mind, and knowing Aulas as a canny operator, I find it odd that he would have agreed to a fee in January with many months to have one of his prized asset invite a bidding war. The other side of this is that the player himself might have asked to speak to Juve and a price was then agreed. It is one or the other.
