Mauricio Isla JuventusNewcastle United are reportedly on the verge of signing Juventus wing-back Mauricio Isla.

The Chilean has come off the back of a good World Cup campaign which followed an inconsistent season with the Bianconeri, who were also keen on a swap deal involving Isla with Fiorentina.

However, according to El Mercurio, Newcastle will pay €10 million for the 26-year-old, though they have yet to come to an agreement on the player’s wages, thought to be around €2.5m a season.

Isla has endured an injury ravaged time since he switched from Udinese to Juventus in 2012, and only made 18 Serie A appearances last season.
