Silva nearly a Juventino
Juventus are reportedly very close to making Valencia winger David Silva their first summer signing, according to the Italian Press.
The Bianconeri have long been admirers of Silva who was a member of the Spain squad that won Euro 2008 in Austria and Switzerland.
Juventus director of sport Alessio Secco has announced his intention to bring the 23-year-old to Turin on several occasions.
Valencia are in grave financial trouble and are planning to sell their biggest stars this summer to raise some much needed capital.
Los Che are reportedly in debt to the tune of £450m and have had to postpone the construction of a new stadium.
Valencia want any deal done quickly and are believed to be holding out for £16m, which is said to suit Juventus.
The Turin giants have reportedly set £20m aside to replace the 36-year-old Pavel Nedved, who will retire at the end of the season.
Silva is contracted to Valencia until 2013 and receives a salary of £2.5m, a wage Juventus are confident they can match.
Having suffered an ankle injury at the start of the season, Silva has made just 15 appearances for Los Che in 2008-09.

City might be interested but I seriously doubt Villa would agree to that,had they captured Kaka it would be a different case.Thing is we dont really know what the story is & what makes me scepticle about getting Silva on the cheap is that everybody knows that Neddy is retiring.In all honestly Secco should have asked Neddy to keep it a secret & push hard for his replacement.
Whoever we purchase wont come cheap as they know its a neccessity.
