According to the Turin Sports Newspaper, Lyon and Juve are competing for Azmount, they have offered Zenit 4 million euros and negotiated a contract with the players.
According to the report, Azmoun was an important target for Juventus' forward reinforcements, and Juve has been in contact with Zenit during this time. Zenit knew Azmoun would not renew his contract and if it dragged on until this summer, they would have to accept Azmoun's free transfer and leave the team. But unless they can find a suitable replacement for Azmoun, they won't sell it in the winter window.
