The Bianconeri have been linked with a move for the Dutch playmaker for several weeks now, and a number of Italian newspapers have reported in the last few days that Juve have come to an initial agreement to sign the player in the summer.
A deal costing €17m has been mooted, however the most recent statements issued by van der Vaart have hinted that a transfer could take place by the end of this month.
"I am honoured that Juventus are interested in me,” said van der Vaart.
“It means that I am doing well at my club. The directors of the Bianconeri must first speak with my club and then with me because this is the correct way.
“Indeed, I hope that everything will be concluded very soon because I want to be part of Juventus and help them chase and beat Inter.”
These comments are sure to delight many Juventus supporters, who have had a natural scorn for Inter ever since the infamous Calciopoli scandal in the summer of 2006.
