Rafinha on his way to Juventus

Brazilian defender Rafinha is on the verge of signing for Juventus.

The right back of Schalke 04 should become one of the two new full backs for the `Bianconeri`; Lyon’s Fabio Grosso is named as the new left back.

Rafinha, who still has a contract with Schalke 04 till 2011, will cost Juve about £ 7 million.

Juventus has had a successful transfer period this far, by signing Diego, Fabio Cannavaro, Felipe Melo and Martin Caceres earlier this summer.
