Diego has told German newspapers a £20m deal with Juventus “is done and by Friday all will be clear.”
The Werder Bremen star’s future has been in the balance for several months, as every time the Bianconeri appear to be completing the move, Bayern Munich intercept.
Now the young Brazilian has come out to make a statement on the situation by talking to newspaper Kreiszeitung Syke.
“We’ve sorted it all out with Juventus, the deal is done and by Friday all will be clear. If the two clubs put pen to paper, then next season I will be playing in Turin.
“I have not yet signed an official document with Juventus, but I think before Friday everything will be finalised.
“After all, it’s about time a decision is made.”
The 24-year-old is set to become the first major reinforcement for a Juventus side that needs to rebuild after a disappointing campaign.
Now Diego, his agent and Juventus President Giovanni Cobolli Gigli have made statements in the last 24 hours confirming “only details” separate them from signing the contracts.
Bayern leave Diego to Juve
Werder Bremen star Diego is on the brink of officially joining Juventus as Bayern Munich have retracted their interest.
The Bianconeri have been edging towards a deal for the last few weeks and President Giovanni Cobolli Gigli has provided confirmation.
However, there were suggestions in the media that Bayern Munich were still lurking.
But reports today state that Bayern have contacted Juve to let the Turin side know they have withdrawn their interest in Diego.
“I would like to make it clear that I am Diego's official agent,” the player's father Djair da Cunha explained.
“There is nothing true in the latest reports. There are just a few details missing and the deal should be completed in three or four days.”
It is widely believed that Juve will pay between £15m and £20m for Diego.
