Juventus are in talks with Parma for midfielder Luca Cigarini.

Controcampo says Juve coach Claudio Ranieri has already held talks with Cigarini and a deal is close to being agreed.

Parma rate the Italy U21 international at £8 million, while Juve would prefer to pay around £5 million. It's also being discussed whether Juve sign Cigarini in January and immediately loan him back to Parma, or wait until the end of the season.
