Werder Bremen director Clemens Fritz admits they expect Dikeni Salifou to be signed Juventus.

Salifou is currently on-loan with Juve, playing for the NextGen team in Serie C.

Fritz told Kicker: "We haven't heard from them yet, but there is the possibility that Juventus will buy him out at the end of the season."

Salifou is a cornerstone of the Next Gen team: in the ongoing Serie C championship he has so far made 26 appearances and scored two goals.

The midfielder made his Togo debut last week.
