Juventus miss out on Kondogbia

Geoffrey Kondogbia won’t be heading to Juventus given that the Sevilla man is expected to sign for Monaco.

The midfielder had been tentatively linked with the Old Lady in recent weeks, but RMC Sport claim he is heading to Ligue 1.

Claudio Ranieri’s side are apparently prepared to offer €20m – thus activating the buyout clause in his contract.

Kondogbia is set to commit himself to a five-year deal at the Stade Louis II. He could be presented as a Monaco player as early as Thursday or Friday.

The 20-year-old Frenchman, an international teammate of Juve’s Paul Pogba, joined Sevilla from Lens in the summer of 2012.
