Sergio Almiron could be just days away from completing his move from Empoli to Italian giants Juventus.
The switch has been on the cards for some time now and a transfer will reportedly be finalised at some stage on Wednesday.
Empoli sporting director Giuseppe Vitale is set to meet with Juve counterpart Alessio Secco in the middle of the week to complete negotiations.
The midfielder is expected to be signed for around £5m in an agreement which will see Matteo Paro move to Tuscany in a co-ownership deal.
The Argentine has reportedly already accepted a four-year contract worth around £1m a year in terms of salary.
Almiron, born in Santa Fe in November 1980, moved to Italy in 2001 when Udinese swooped while he was with Newell’s Old Boys.
He joined Empoli in August 2004 after spending the previous campaign on loan at then Serie B side Verona.
