Juventus have reportedly reached a deal with Genoa to sign defender Cristian Romero for €20m, moving to Turin in the summer.

The negotiations have been dragging on for weeks and are no secret, but the original plan was to snap him up and leave the Argentine on loan in Genoa for 18 months.

According to Sportitalia transfer guru Alfredo Pedullá, the situation has now changed.

The two clubs have instead agreed a €20m transfer that allows him only another six months on loan at Genoa.

It is a huge sum for a centre-back who won’t turn 21 until April and joined Genoa from Belgrano for €1.65m in July 2018.

He has made 15 competitive appearances for the Grifone, scoring one goal with one assist.
