(GSM) – Catania director Pietro Lo Monaco has confirmed Jorge Martinez is set for Juventus.
The Uruguayan winger, who was surprisingly left out of the Uruguay squad despite the winger enjoying a stunning campaign last term, has been with Catania for the past three years.
The 27-year-old is expected to pen his new contract on Monday, with Catania receiving a reported €12 million.
Lo Monaco said: “Jorge Martinez is a Juventus player and so we have to say goodbye to him.
“I want to congratulate him because he will be wearing the shirt of a very important club.”
Martinez’s move to Turin has seen Juve end their interest in CSKA Moscow’s Milos Krasic, who could now join Manchester City.
