La Gazzetta dello Sport claim Juventus have practically agreed terms with Sassuolo for Gianluca Scamacca, signing the striker for €20-25m.
It will be a loan with obligation to buy after 18 months, a way of spreading out the cost of the operation.
The report from Alfredo Pedullà suggests Genoa have already accepted the current one-season loan will be abandoned after six months.
Juve are expected to pay somewhere between €20m and €25m, including various bonuses and add-ons.
Milan had also been interested in Scamacca, but their focus for January is more on a centre-back and defensive midfielder.
Genoa are due to face Juventus in the Coppa Italia Round of 16 on Wednesday evening and Scamacca may well start the match.

Good signing, but 20m or more is a big risk, considering he is a good player, but still he hasn’t been outstanding in none of his previous clubs
