Juventus are on the brink of signing Pescara midfielder Marco Verratti.

The deal will see Verratti spend the new season on-loan at Pescara.

"The deal is not finalised," club President Daniele Sebastiani confirmed to Sky Sport 24.

"We spoke today with [director general Beppe] Marotta and [sporting director Fabio] Paratici about the technical elements of the deal.

"Tomorrow we will meet again with Juventus. We will see what possibilities there are. He will remain with us for next season, and that is in any case.

"Negotiations are advanced, but not complete."
