Lazio striker Keita Balde Diao is on the brink of signing for Juventus.

Keita has been eager to leave Lazio this summer, but insists he only wants to join Juve.

Gazzetta dello Sport says a deal is now practically closed, in no small way thanks to Keita's demands.

AC Milan were also in the frame, but the player's preference swung the move in Juve's favour.

Lazio president Claudio Lotito is demanding €20-25 million to sell. But Juve are in the boxseat with Keita's deal having just a year to run.
