Juventus expect to conclude a deal for Lyon and Italy defender Fabio Grosso by the end of the week, according to Il Corriere dello Sport.
The Bianconeri have been looking for a left-back all summer and appear to have finally settled on Grosso, who just returned from the Confederations Cup.
Grosso's agent, Giuseppe Bozzo, is said to be in Lyon at the moment, presenting them with Juventus' offer, which is thought to be around £2m.
Lyon will also receive first option on David Trezeguet should the striker become available.
Grosso has two years to run on his contract with the French outfit and earns around £1.75m a season.
He will have to take a pay cut if he wants to join Juventus.
The 31-year-old spoke about the transfer this morning and appears open to the move.
“Juventus are a great team. It would be a pleasure to play with them. Anyway, I am now with Lyon, another great club. We'll see what happens,” Grosso said.
