Juventus are closing in on Villarreal striker Giuseppe Rossi.
Corriere dello Sport says Juve GM Beppe Marotta and sports director Fabio Patrici are in advanced talks over personal terms with Rossi's camp.
While Barcelona are also keen, they have pulled back from negotiations due to Villarreal's €30 million asking price.
Juve are confident of landing Rossi, despite the player's insistence last week that he wasn't ready to return to Italy.
