The Old Lady have identified the 21-year-old Argentine as their main transfer target and will offer cash plus Fabio Quagliarella in order to beat the Rossoneri to his signature
EXCLUSIVE

"Juventus are ready to begin their summer recruitment drive and have identified Juan Iturbe as one of their top targets.
The 21-year-old Argentine winger is attracting suitors from all over Serie A after a fine season at Verona, with Roma and Milan also interested in the former Cerro Porteno and Porto youngster.
Real Madrid have long shown an interest in the youth international, who was raised in Paraguay, but the Spanish champions are believed to be focusing their attentions elsewhere this month.
After struggling to break into the Porto side, Iturbe had a largely disappointing time on loan back in his homeland with River Plate last year but was a revelation in Serie A this term, hitting eight goals in 29 starts.
Reigning champions Juve are now hoping to wrap up a deal by tabling an offer of €20 million [£16m] plus Fabio Quagliarella. If Verona don’t accept, Juve will instead offer a deal including defender Federico Peluso.
Officials from the two clubs are set to meet in the coming hours in the hope of thrashing out a deal - but the Old Lady will be faced with competition in the form of AC Milan.
New coach Filippo Inzaghi is keen to add some more creativity to his frontline following the mutual termination of Kaka's contract, with the Brazilian's departure freeing up funds for a big-money transfer."
Black & White & Red All Over:
"The transfer window is officially open. And now things are starting to get really, really interesting.
As they look to fend off competition from rival AC Milan, Juventus director general Beppe Marotta met with Gustavo Mascardi — who has owned Iturbe's rights in the past — and the player's agent to try and reach an agreement to bring the young winger to Turin this summer. And, according to reports coming out of Italy late Tuesday, there has been a major step in the right direction in the process to get Iturbe in bianconero.
Gianluca Di Marzio has the following information regarding what went down on Tuesday:
"Juventus are speeding up the negotiation and could anticipate the competition. They met Mascardi today, who is close to the player and owned the 3% of his rights when he was at Porto, and he gave them his okay. Juventus have agreed to terms with the agents and with Iturbe. He would sign a 5-year contract with €2M annual wages. However, they haven't reach an agreement with Hellas Verona yet.
Iturbe, who was bought outright by Verona for €15 million earlier this summer, has been gaining momentum in the Juventus camp over the past couple of weeks. The major detail, of course, is Juventus negotiating the transfer fee for Iturbe with the Verona management."
