Manchester United full-back Matteo Darmian is reportedly close to joining Juventus on loan until the end of the season.

Stories in Gazzetta dello Sport and the Guardian on Sunday have revealed that the Italy international is on the verge of signing for the reigning Serie A champions on a short-term deal.

Juve will then have the option of signing Darmian permanently in the summer for €8m.

Massimiliano Allegri’s side will pay United a loan fee of €3m if the deal goes through, but expectations are that both clubs will agree all the details next week.

Darmian has struggled to truly establish himself at Old Trafford since joining in 2015, playing 59 times and scoring one goal.
