The agent of Giuseppe Rossi says talks with Juventus are now at an advanced stage.

The Villarreal striker is their number one transfer target for the summer and subject to a reported €27m bid.

"There are some things to finalise, so we will have to meet again, but negotiations are at an advanced stage," agent Federico Pastorello told the Corriere dello Sport.

"Talks are aided by the good common sense of the clubs doing the buying and the selling.

"I am confident, even if it's not right to say too much. It's never a good idea to get ahead of yourself when dealing with such an important player.

"We will all certainly need a little patience."
