Juventus have reportedly lowered their demands for West Ham United target Denis Zakaria.
According to a report from Tuttosport, Juventus are now demanding just €23 million (£19 million) for Denis Zakaria, with West Ham currently offering just €18 million (£15 million).

Another Denis Zakaria twist with West Ham set for Monday meeting with Juventus
David Moyes is apparently keen to sign the Switzerland international, with Juventus holding out for £19 million and the Hammers offering £15 million.
One would imagine that West Ham and Juve will meet in the middle somewhere – around £17 million.
Chelsea website Pride of London described Zakaria as a ‘brilliant’ player, and on his day, he certainly is that.
The Juventus man would be a smart addition from Moyes, but the Scot better be planning to sign a truly elite central midfielder alongside the former Chelsea man.
He is in no way good enough to be considered as a like for like replacement for Declan Rice. That said, he is a very solid player and would help us massively next season with so many games coming thick and fast.
£19 million for Denis Zakaria would actually represent decent value for West Ham as far as I’m concerned. And I really wouldn’t be against the 26-year-old coming to the London Stadium, with the caveat that Moyes makes a marquee central midfield signing as well.
