Juventus have struck personal terms with Ajax strike-ace Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.
Tuttosport says Huntelaar would jump at the chance to join Juve this summer and would prefer Turin as his next destination over Barcelona and Manchester.
Johan Cruyff is urging Huntelaar to join Barca, while Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is also keen, however Juve powerbrokers Roberto Bettega and Alessio Secco have convinced the young forward that his best option is Italy.
Terms have been agreed for a contract worth £2.3 million-a-season and Juve are now planning to open talks with Ajax over a fee for Huntelaar, which will begin at £12 million.
