Juventus are reportedly close to concluding a deal for Colombia starlet Andres Tello.

The 18-year-old had been strongly linked with the Bianconeri as early as November last year, and it is now expected that the Turin side will have their man.

Sky Sport Italia claim that Tello’s club, Envigado, have agreed to send the player on a loan move to Juventus initially, with a fee of €1 million set to be paid in the summer to make the transfer permanent.

Additional reports claim that the player’s agents descended upon Italy on Thursday to negotiate the details of the transaction further.

Tello, likened by some to Colombia’s senior international Juan Cuadrado, is currently participating in the 2015 South American Youth Football Championship in Uruguay.
