Juventus are thought to be closing in on Torino and Italy defender Angelo Ogbonna, including Ciro Immobile in the deal.

The Bianconeri have long been interested in the centre-back, though face competition from the likes of Milan, Napoli, Arsenal and Manchester United.

According to both La Gazzetta dello Sport and Tuttosport this morning, Juve are close to completing the transfer for the 25-year-old.

They would offer €8m cash plus co-ownership of either Immobile or Manolo Gabbiadini.

These two Under-21 international strikers are currently in co-ownership deals with Genoa and Bologna respectively.

Another option is Reto Ziegler, who spent this season on loan at Fenerbahce.
