Pizarro nearing Juve switch

UDINESE have confirmed that midfielder David Pizarro is close to joining Italian champions Juventus.

The 23-year-old, who has bagged seven goals in Serie A this season, has also been linked with Internazionale, Milan and Real Madrid.

Should the clubs agree a fee, the South American would surely agree terms with the Turin side after previously stating the idea of being at the Stadio Delle Alpi would be 'paradise'.

"Juventus are only a step away from signing him," confirmed club chairman Gino Pozzo. "I think an agreement will be reached soon."

Pizarro has been inspirational for the Stadio Friuli outfit this season, helping guide the side to sixth in the table and a place in next year's Uefa Cup.
