Amauri travels to Turin Monday 26 May, 2008
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Palermo striker Amauri will be travelling to Turin on Tuesday morning, where he is expected to undergo a medical for Juventus.
The Brazilian will put pen to paper on a £2.5m per year contract which will tie him to the Bianconeri for the next four years.
Despite some problems in the negotiations, Amauri will join the Old Lady as revealed in the past few weeks by Rosanero President Maurizio Zamparini.
The Brazilian will move to the Olimpico for £10m in an exchange deal which will also involve Antonio Nocerino and Davide Lanzafame, who will be playing for the Sicilians next season.
Meanwhile, the Bianconeri are also interested in another Palermo ace, Andrea Barzagli. The Rosanero captain has reportedly been available for the past two years.
Fiorentina are in pole position for the defender, but Palermo have now decided to stall on the Viola's £6m offer since Juventus are ready to place a £10m bid.
The Italian international has declared his wish to move to the Franchi, but it remains to be seen whether President Zamparini can turn down such a lucrative offer from the Bianconeri.
Fabricio Coloccini is another defender linked to the Old Lady, but Real Madrid and Barcelona are favourites to sign the Deportivo La Coruna stopper.
