Juventus are on the brink of signing Schalke defender Benedikt Howedes.
Sky Italia says Howedes is expected in Italy Wednesday afternoon for a medical with Juventus. An agreement with Schalke has been found.
It will be a loan for €3.5m with option to buy for another €8.5m, but this is not an obligation.
Howedes is expected in Turin for a medical at midday.
Juventus midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah, meanwhile, is heading to Galatasaray for a fee rising to €4.5m.
