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.
