Juventus have agreed personal terms with Schalke star Julian Draxler, and now must reach an accord over the transfer fee with the Bundesliga giants.

The 21-year-old German international has been chased heavily by the Bianconeri in recent weeks, and a minor breakthrough has now been reached as the player edges ever closer to a move to the Serie A.

According to Rai Sport, Draxler has agreed to a five-year deal worth €3 million per season with the Old Lady, and now it is up to the two clubs to come to an agreement.

A move for Draxler is likely to end any pursuit of Bayern Munich star Mario Gotze, who has also been heavily linked with Juventus in the past week.

Draxler only made 15 appearances for the Gelsenkirchen outfit last term, in what was an injury-ravaged campaign for the talented midfielder.
