Juventus are set to sign Boca Juniors creative midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur, but he’s expected to arrive in June rather than January.
The Bianconeri already have an option on the 19-year-old Uruguayan, which they clinched as part of the deal when selling Carlos Tevez to Boca.
According to the Corriere dello Sport, Boca President Daniel Angelici will be in Italy over the weekend and take this opportunity to sign the contracts.

While the Argentines are hoping to get slightly more, Juventus have a cast-iron clause allowing them to sign the player for €9.4m.
Bentancur will remain at Boca Juniors for another six months and be ready to make the move to Turin in June 2017.
There has also been interest from Milan, who were offering €15m over the summer, but Juventus refused to relinquish their option.
