Palermo ace Amauri is just days away from completing a move to Juventus, his agents have confirmed.
The talented marksman has been on his way from Sicily to Turin for the last month, but were been whispers that Milan or Real Madrid could hijack the deal.
However, Juve are now unopposed and have agreed a £9m deal with the Rosanero that will see Antonio Nocerino move in the opposite direction, along with fellow Azzurrini man Davide Lanzafame, who will be co-owned.
The Grimaldi brothers, who act as Amauri’s agents, met with Juve directors Jean-Claude Blanc and Alessio Secco this afternoon and seem poised to finalise the deal.
“The negotiations have reached a good stage, in fact excellent,” a statement from the agents read.
“We are satisfied and there are only a few small details still to be completed. When will he sign? Soon, probably within the next week.”
Amauri is expected to arrive in Turin before the end of the week for a meeting that could end in his transfer becoming official.
