(GSM) – Juventus are set to close a deal with Liverpool coach Rafael Benitez after the Italian club reached an agreement with him via his agent Manuel Quillon Garcia, according to Tuttosport.
Director Roberto Bettega met with the agent in Monte Carlo on Monday night, where the two men spoke about bringing the Spanish manager to Turin.
A verbal agreement has now been reached over a three-year deal, and all that remains is to set him free from the contract he is under at Liverpool.
The Daily Mail reports that club president Jean-Claude Blanc is ready to jet to Liverpool this week to close the deal with Benitez.
La Stampa reports that a Benitez arrival in Turin could be the beginning of a squad revolution at Vinovo.
They claim Fernando Torres, Javier Mascherano, Dirk Kuyt and Martin Skrtel would all follow the coach.
