MILAN (AP) Juventus was finalizing deals to sign midfielders Hernanes and Mario Lemina on a busy final day of Europe's transfer window for the four-time defending champion, which is off to its worst ever Serie A start.
Juventus said both players were undergoing a medical on Monday, with Hernanes set to join from Serie A rival Inter Milan in an 11 million euro ($12 million) transfer. The 21-year-old Lemina moves from Marseille on a loan deal with the option to buy.
Key midfielders Arturo Vidal and Andrea Pirlo left Juventus in the offseason, moving to Bayern Munich and New York City FC.
Juventus lost its opening two Serie A matches.
Inter has also been active on the final day and completed moves for Roma forward Adem Ljajic as well as midfielder Felipe Melo and defender Alex Telles from Galatasaray.
