Juventus are ready to close a deal for Livorno striker Andrea Favilli.

The youngster spent last season on-loan with the champs and managed a first team debut.

Gazzetta dello Sport says Juve are working on signing Favilli for €1.5 million ahead of loaning him to Ascoli for the season.

Favilli has also attracted enquiries from Real Madrid after last season's breakthrough at Juve.

The teen has been likened with former Italy striker Christian Vieri.
