Sky Sport Italia claim Federico Chiesa has to extend his contract with Fiorentina before moving to Juventus and that is holding everything up.
The two clubs have agreed a deal to take Chiesa on a two-year loan, paid €2m for the first year and €8m for the second.
There is an option to buy for a further €50m which becomes an obligation if certain conditions are met.
Those conditions are that Chiesa plays 60 per cent of the games for at least 30 minutes, or if he scored 10 goals or provides 10 assists.

Those conditions are that Chiesa plays 60 per cent of the games for at least 30 minutes, or if he scored 10 goals or provides 10 assists.
There is also another condition, rather easier to achieve, which is that as long as Juventus finish in the top four, they must buy Chiesa outright.
The problem, according to Sky expert Gianluca Di Marzio, is that Chiesa’s contract with Fiorentina only runs to June 2022.
He therefore has to extend his contract first before he can move to Juve on loan, so the Viola are covered.
However, it’s reported that Chiesa wants the same salary he’d earn at Juventus in order to sign the extension and Fiorentina are not prepared to do that.
The negotiations are therefore between Chiesa and Fiorentina.
The transfer deadline is on Monday at 19.00 UK time (18.00 GMT).
