In the summer of 2013, Juventus decided to acquire Zaza and signed him for 3.5 million euros and sold half of him right away to Sassuolo for 2.5 million euros. Last summer, Sassuolo bought all of Zaza for 7.5 million euros from Juventus but the Italian champions inserted a 15 million euros buy-back clause in 2015, that will go up to 18 million euros in 2016 if it is not exercised.
