Pescara midfielder Marco Veratti will join Juventus at the start of next season, according to his current club's president Daniele Sebastiani.
The 19-year-old has attracted a host of interest following his performances last season, and it appears that he will move to Turin next summer.
"The deal is not finalised. But we spoke today [Tuesday] with [director general Giuseppe] Marotta and [sporting director Fabio] Paratici about the technical elements of the deal," he told Sky Sport24.
"Tomorrow (Wednesday) we will meet again with Juventus. We will see what possibilities there are. He will remain with us for next season, in any case. Negotiations are advanced, but not complete."
Veratti was named in Italy's provisional squad for Euro 2012.
