Internacional defender Juan Jesus expects to join Inter Milan this month.

The 20-year-old Brazilian has been in negotiations for several weeks and looks set to be their first major reinforcement of the transfer window.

"I think I should be in Italy on January 7 or 8," Juan Guilhermo Nunes Jesus told FCInter1908.it.

"Is it all done? I just have to sign and be given my official presentation to the media."
