Juventus have signed Udinese midfielder Gaetano D'Agostino for €8 million, plus the ownerships of Michele Paolucci and Davide Lanzafame, according to Studio Sport.

There is no official confirmation yet from either Juventus or Udinese, but Studio Sport claim that it is a done deal.

Speculation that the Bianconeri were after D'Agostino, who turned 27 yesterday, has been growing the last few days.

This morning Juventus president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli confirmed that the club admired the former Roma youth product, but denied that negotiations were ongoing.

D'Agostino is well known to be an avid Juventus supporter, and if this deal is confirmed he will become the Bianconeri's third signing of the summer already after Diego and Fabio Cannavaro.

The midfielder, who had an outstanding club season, scoring 11 goals, is expected to make his Italy debut this Saturday against Northern Ireland.
