FC Porto defender João Mario is scheduled for medical examinations at Juventus tomorrow, finalizing a player exchange deal that includes Alberto Costa.
Juventus is set to welcome a new addition on Thursday as Porto`s right-back João Mario prepares for medical tests in Turin.
João Mario`s Juventus Medical Schedule
Insiders with knowledge of the situation confirm the details of the agreement, initially reported by A Bola.
João Mario will transfer to Turin from Porto in a player-plus-cash exchange involving Alberto Costa, who will join the Portuguese club, returning to his home country after just seven months in Turin.
João Mario has been valued at €10 million, while Porto will pay €15 million plus €1 million in potential add-ons for Alberto Costa.
Juventus and Porto Finalizing Swap Agreement
Costa had moved to Turin in a €13.8 million transfer from Vitoria Guimaraes during the January transfer window.
Porto`s domestic rivals Sporting CP had previously been in negotiations with Juventus for Alberto Costa earlier this summer but failed to reach an agreement with the Italian club.
