Romeo Gresti from Goal says that the 28-year old is expected to move to Turin for a fee of 40 million euros, which equates to £35 million. The Serie A club may well pay the fee over a two or three year period rather than upfront.
It's a huge career move for N'Zonzi, who moved to Blackburn Rovers for £500,000 in 2009, before joining Stoke City for £3 million three years on after Rovers were relegated to the Championship at the end of the 2011/12 campaign.
