Juventus aim to close a deal for Barcelona striker Alejandro Marques today.

Juve are willing to send Matheus Peireira in the opposite direction for the 19 year-old Barca B forward.

Italian journalist Nicolo Schira reported this morning: "Today an appointment between Juventus and Barcelona to define the exchange of young people (with relative capital gains) between Matheus Pereira (who will pass to the Catalans) and Alejandro Marques (class 2000).

"The forward should be part of the Juve U23: (Barca have) set off to work to convince the Venezuelan."
