Genoa have a deal in place for Juventus midfielder Stefano Sturaro.

Sky Italia says Genoa will take Sturaro on loan from Juventus with €8m option to buy, which becomes compulsory after a certain number of games.

Sturaro has been with Sporting CP for the first-half of the season.

It is a return to Marassi, where Sturaro already played in several different stints, beginning his career in their academy.

The midfielder is leaving Sporting due to board room upheaval.
