Juventus are moving closer to signing Paraguayan midfielder Marcelo Estigarribia.

The 23-year-old has been targeted by the Bianconeri, after coach Antonio Conte identified him as a potential acquisition.

And now Juventus look to be very close to agreeing a deal.



Estigarribia enjoyed a superb Copa America with Paraguay this summer and that has helped to convince Juventus to move.

The 23-year-old had a spell on loan at French side Le Mans, before heading back to Paraguayan club Cerro Porteno.

Estigarribia will cost Juventus €5M, although at this stage it is unclear whether the Bianconeri will first sign the player on loan.
