Juventus look to have their Dani Alves replacement, with AC Milan's Mattia De Sciglio arriving in Turin for his medical examinations ahead of a move.

The Bianconeri have been linked with the likes of Manchester United's Matteo Darmian and Real Madrid's Danilo among others in their search for a new first-choice right-back but it is De Sciglio who has got the nod.

The club shared a picture of the Italy international at the club's facility as he undergoes his medical:


Should all the tests go nice and smoothly, unlike Patrik Schick, the Sampdoria striker whose move fell through, De Sciglio will join Juventus for a fee believed to be in the region of €12 million.

Juve boss Max Allegri had identified the defender as a priority signing this summer and is well aware of his talents having brought him into the first-team fold at AC Milan by giving him his debut in a Champions League game against Viktoria Plzen in September 2011.

The news of De Sciglio's imminent signing comes a day after Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, who has spent the last two seasons on loan at title rivals Roma, jetted into Turin to complete a £10 million permanent move from Arsenal.

When the two additions are officially confirmed, it will mean last season's Champions League finalists will have made four signings so far this summer, following on from Bayern Munich winger Douglas Costa and Boca Juniors midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur putting pen to paper.

The Old Lady have also signed Juan Cuadrado and Mehdi Benatia on a permanent basis after their loan spells at the Juventus Stadium, but have also sanctioned the sale of defender Leonardo Bonucci, who is heading to AC Milan for a reported £35 million fee.
