Italy international Vincenzo Iaquinta is close to agreeing a move to Juventus, according to the owner of his current club.
Udinese striker Iaquinta has been linked with a transfer away from the Stadio Friuli for several months and Giampaolo Pozzo believes the 27-year-old is bound for Juve.
"Iaquinta should go to Juve and I believe he has already signed a contract," said Pozzo.
"It's not yet official but I don't think there will be any problems."
Iaquinta joined Udinese in 2000 and was a member of Italy's World Cup-winning squad in Germany last summer.
If he does sign for Juventus, it could be as a replacement for France striker David Trezeguet, who on Monday announced his intention to leave the Stadio Delle Alpi this summer.
Juve recently secured promotion back to Serie A after being demoted to Serie B for their part in the match-fixing scandal.
