Juventus Set to Sign Uruguayan Defender Godin goal.com
Uruguayan international Diego Godin is on the verge of signing for Italian giants Juventus and will travel to Europe on Thursday to seal the deal.
The highly rated centre back performed well in last month’s Copa America, and helped Uruguay reach the semifinals, which they lost to eventual champions Brazil on penalty shootouts.
Godin, who is owned by Club Nacional de Football of Montevideo, has attracted interest from several top European clubs, including Real Madrid, and Inter Milan.
But Juventus, who will return to Italy’s top flight next season, are the most likely club to sign the player, after offering Nacional a deal that they are unlikely to refuse.
In recent hours Spain's Villarreal have also offered the player a lucrative deal, but it is unknown whether their offer is greater to the one initially presented by Juventus.
The defender has already announced his departure to the directors of Nacional, the club he helped reach the quarterfinals of last season’s Copa Libertadores.
“I trained in the morning and then said farewell to my teammates and to the people that are here everyday. Something like this brings strange feelings. It was all very fast. I’m very happy because it is something that I’ve always been waiting for”, Godin said.
Juventus have been tracking the player for some time now, because they think he can add stability to their defense. If there are no complications Godin should be presented at the club later on in the week.

Dont really know how concrete this truly is but for the sake of transfer gossip, ill throw my two cents in. I wont lie, I didnt even notice this guy in the C.A but if Milan and Madrid were after him then he must be decent. He definetly wont be a starter, but could definetly be a great squad player. Whats even better is that this could blow the Transfer Market doors of Juventus wide open.
