Juventus are on the verge of landing Liverpool coach Rafael Benitez after the Italian club reached an agreement with him via his agent Manuel Quillon Garcia, accoring to Tuttosport.
Director Roberto Bettega met with the agent in Monte Carlo on Monday night, where the two men spoke about bringing the Spaniard to Turin.
A verbal agreement has now been reached over a three-year deal, and all that remains is to set him free from the contract he is under at Liverpool.
Bianconeri president Jean-Claude Blanc will fly to Merseyside at the end of the week in an attempt to convince Liverpool into yielding their man.
Despite the report, Juventus have said Bettega was in Turin until 16:00CET on Monday, and neither the agent nor the director have confirmed talks had taken place.
Meanwhile, La Stampa reports that a Benitez arrival in Turin could spark off a squad overhaul at Vinovo.
They claim Fernando Torres, Javier Mascherano, Dirk Kuyt and Martin Skrtel would all follow the coach.
However, reports suggest Liverpool would accept no less than €70million for the Spanish striker.
