The news follows ‘positive talks’ between the two clubs over a deal for the Venezuelan, who will turn 29 on 13 January.

It is thought that Rincon will head to Juventus Stadium on an initial six-month loan, rumoured to be worth €2m, with Juve reserving the option to sign him permanently in the summer for a further €7m.

Following their Supercoppa Italiana defeat to Milan, Juve are looking to bolster their squad as they aim to defend their Serie A and Coppa Italia titles, as well as mount a credible Champions League challenge.

James Rodriguez, Steven N’Zonzi, Axel Witsel, Corentin Tolisso and Tiemoue Bakayoko are other names to have been touted as possible arrivals at Juventus Stadium.
