Serie A holders Juventus is reportedly close to finalizing a deal for Swedish teenager Dejan Kulusevski from Atalanta. A medical is said to be in place for the winger who is expected to cost the Turin outfit €35 million plus another €10 million in potential add-ons.
Having joined Parma on loan from Atalanta at the beginning of the season, the Swedish international has improved massively, scoring four goals and registering seven assists in 17 appearances this season. His contribution has aided Roberto D'Aversa's men to climb to seventh on the Serie A table, while also drawing interest from top European clubs to himself.
Speculations have indicated that both Manchester United and Juventus are keen on acquiring his service. However, new report emerging claims that the latter is on the verge of sealing a quick-fire move for the youngster.
According to Sky Italia on Tuesday, the Bianconeris have an offer of €35 million plus for Kulusevski accepted by Atalanta and could potentially pay another €10 million in add-ons. The attacker is expected to pen a contract that will initially see him earn €2.5 million a season until 2024.
Per the report, Kulusevski's medical examination has been tabled for later this week but he is expected to continue his development at Parma for the rest of the season before he joins Juventus for the preseason next summer.
