Sporting Kansas City defender Erik Palmer-Brown is on the brink of signing for Juventus.
Tuttosport says a deal between the Bianconeri and the American side for the youngster is all-but complete, with only an official announcement missing.
Juve will pay $250,000 for Palmer-Brown, 16, who has been likened to Giorgio Chiellini.
The plan is for the defender to remain in MLS another 12 months before moving to Turin at the end of 2014.
