Juventus could announce in the next few days their first signing of the summer. They hope that it will be Paulo Dybala, one of the starts of Serie A this season. According to Tuttosport, Palermo's Argentine forward is set to sign for the Turin-based club as early as this week.

An agreement between Juve and Palermo is very close, despite how much Dybala is set to cost. He spent the weekend on the bench, which set alarm bells ringing that a possible deal was close to being completed. Without his 13 goals in 33 games, Palermo were beaten by Atalana.

Throughout the week, Palermo president, Maurizio Zamparini, had supposedly been telling the club's manager, Giuseppe Iachini, not to risk the youngster ahead of a possible transfer.

Dario Baccin, whose role is akin to that of a sporting director at Palermo, has admitted things are close: "We are in the final phase; in the the coming days the president will reveal everything."
