It was his determination to come to Juve that allowed them to ultimately get the deal done for only €20m, when the original asking price had been €25m, and before that the release clause of €28m.
The Colombia international is now expected to undergo his medical tests over the weekend and complete the transfer.
His contract with Bologna was set to expire at the end of the season anyway.
