Old Lady are close to Kirev
Thursday 22 January, 2009

Juventus could snap up young Bulgarian goalkeeper Mario Kirev within the next few days.

The Under-21 international came to Turin for a trial with Juve last month and spent time at Vinovo.

It seems that Kirev may have done enough to impress the Old Lady as Tuttosport claims Juve have finalised a deal with Slavia Sofia for his signature.

While Kirev may officially become a Juventus player before the end of the week, he isn't likely to settle in Turin just yet.

Reports suggest that Kirev will be sent out on loan to gain experience before he is trusted with an understudy role for the Bianconeri.

Swiss side Grasshoppers are expected to secure temporary control of the agile custodian.
