Serie A giants Juventus are close to striking a deal with Schalke to sign their in-demand midfielder Leon Goretzka.

" Juve- Goretzka : Yes", says Corriere dello Sport, as it is believed that the Old Lady have edged very close in signing the German midfielder, who is also being tracked by the likes of Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Tottenham Hotspur.

Juventus president Giuseppe Marotta has drawn up a plan for signing Goretzka and it is likely that it could work when they look to use the plan. It is said that Goretzka does prefer a move to Barcelona, but Juventus are looking to do a deal swiftly.

Goretzka’s current deal at the Veltins Arena runs out at the end of the current season and Schalke are resigned to losing him for free when the campaign ends, with interest in their prized asset very high.

And while Juve may be edging close to sealing the deal for Goretzka, they are still after Emre Can, who tops their list of priorities.
