Catania have announced winger Jorge Martinez is a step away from moving to Juventus.

Earlier this week the Uruguayan said he was ready to join Lazio, but there were delays and the Bianconeri swooped.

"We have reached a verbal agreement for Martinez with Juventus," Catania director Pietro Lo Monaco told lalaziosiamonoi.

"There is a deal, but until we put pen to paper, anything could still happen in the transfer market.

"We have set another meeting with Juventus in 48 hours and the matter could be finalised there."
