Juventus have a deal in place with Barcelona for Miralem Pjanic.
Taking advantage of their participation in last night's Joan Gamper Trophy clash at the Johan Cruyff Estadi, Juve held formal negotiations with Barca over the return of Pjanic.
The midfielder is happy to accept a 20 per cent cut on his Barca salary to seal a return to Turin.
Sport says a season-long loan arrangement has been struck between the two clubs and Pjanic could complete the move this week.
Barca coach Ronald Koeman will have no problem with Pjanic's departure as he has never counted on the midfielder during their year together.
