The Udinese playmaker has been a target of top Serie A clubs after a great season with the Friuli outfit in which he scored 11 goals.

"With regards to D'Agostino's transfer we are only half way in our negotiations with Udinese," said Juventus president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli.

"The negotiations are long but we have a lot of hope that we will be successful.

"We just need to make sure that the amount requested and the offer we make match."

Should Juve be successful, 27-year-old D'Agostino would become the Bianconeri's third signing of the summer after Diego and Fabio Cannavaro.
