As first published by celebrated Italian sports daily La Gazzetta dello Sport, Nigerian defender Angelo Ogbonna is close to a move to back - to - back champions Juventus.

The Bianconeri have reached an agreement with Torino for the transfer of the Italy international, who has spent the last seven seasons in Turin.

In the coming days, an official announcement on the purchase of Ogbonna is expected to be made.

Juventus' bank balance will be reduced by seven million euros being the player's transfer fee.

To make up for Ogbonna's valuation, Torino have been given 50 percent of Ciro Immobile's ownership rights.
