Juventus is on the verge of signing Uruguay international Martin Caceres from Sevilla, and could complete the transfer of the fullback by the end of the week, Tuttosport reports.
The Turin side has long been in talks with Sevilla about a winter transfer as it is keen to add some more depth to its squad, but the Spaniards' sporting director Ramon Rodriguez stressed last week that Juventus will have to increase its offer in order to sign Caceres.
Juve is now reportedly ready to meet the Andalusians' demands and will send a delegation to Spain in the upcoming days to complete transfer talks.
The 24-year-old defender previously wore the Juventus jersey in the 2009-10 season when he was on loan from Barcelona, and Caceres is eager to return to Turin on a permanent basis this time around.
The Uruguay international's current contract with Sevilla runs until the summer of 2015, and a transfer fee in the region of 10 million euros could be needed to lure him away from the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
