Juventus have struck personal terms with Schalke midfielder Julian Draxler.
RAI says Draxler has settled on a deal with Juve, which still must find agreement with Schalke over a fee.
Juve chief Fabio Paratici was in Germany last week to speak with Draxler's representatives.
The deal is for three years and will be worth €5 million-a-season.
Schalke are insisting on a straight cash deal and do not want to consider an appearances-based fee.
