As planned, Zachary arrived in Turin at around ten in the morning on that Monday. After settling down and placing his luggage in a hotel room, he got busy by first meeting Emily to discuss the details of the contract. Then, after the meeting, the two of them traveled together to the Juventus Training Center, colloquially known as "the Vinovo" by the Turin football community.

There, at the Vinovo, proceedings moved forward fast, and Zachary underwent a rigorous medical conducted by the highly skilled and experienced physicians of Juventus' physiotherapy center. Without any surprises popping up, he passed with flying colors, thus overcoming the final hurdle that could have barred his way from becoming a Juventus player.
