Joao Cancelo is set to complete a summer switch to Juventus, despite spending an impressive season on loan with Inter from Valencia last term.
The Portuguese is not currently at the World Cup with his country but is instead in Turin where he is expected to undergo his Bianconeri medical imminently.
There had been reports emerging in recent days that the deal was on the cards and Juventus’ official Twitter account announced on Tuesday evening that the player was ‘in town.’

It is thought that Juve will splash out close to €40 million to bring the player to the Juventus Stadium and with Stephan Lichtsteiner departing this summer he will likely become their go-to man on the right of their defence.
Twenty-four-year-old Cancelo featured on 28 occasions for Inter in the 2017/18 season, during which time he scored once and assisted a further four goals for his teammates.
