The move is set to be part of a deal that will take Argentina forward Gonzalo Higuain and promising defender Mattia Caldara in the opposite direction from Juve to Milan.

Higuain has agreed to join Milan on a season-long loan with the club having an option to buy the striker next summer for £32m, according to Sky in Italy.

Milan were recently taken over by American hedge fund Elliot Management after the previous Chinese owners failed to repay a loan owed to the fund.

The new owners have promised to provide money to improve Milan's finances.
