Media reports, which have also linked Bayern Munich and Inter Milan with the 24-year-old, said Juve had agreed a fee of 25 million euros ($33.3 million) with the Bundesliga club.

"We think talks are going well. We hope to conclude the deal but it is still not sealed," Cobolli Gigli said.

He also denied Juve were considering selling Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.

The Turin club have dropped out of the title race having not won in five Serie A games but coach Claudio Ranieri has been told his job is safe until the end of the season.

Other signings are expected to boost their prospects next term. Winger Pavel Nedved is due to retire at the end of this season.

  1. to all haters, do you see the kind of soccer juve­ plays? the way milan played over the past 6 years does­ not need any help from referees or anyone, it obviously­ didn't happen in europe and we killed eveyone off.­ plus choosing referees to ref certain games shows that­ there is something going on that is not right since it­ is the FA that assigns referees to each game. Forza­ Milan

  3. raimpz99, what the press said about Juve and the match­ fixing is not entirely true...Juve's president only­ choose witch referees are going to judge Juve's­ matches, unlike milan who were making a deal with the­ other teams to let milan win against them.
    ac milan­ had fixed WAY MORE matches than Juve and the other­ teams, but they have that stupid berlusconi who is­ always covering for their match fixing @#$%.
    ac­ milan...i cant understand the people who are cheering­ for them...
