Ever Banega To Join Juve In January

Talented Boca Juniors midfielder Ever Banega is on the verge of joining Juventus in a deal worth over 15 million euros.

Banega will arrive in Turin in early January if his club Boca Juniors accept an offer of more than 15 million euros made by Juventus for the youngster.

"Banega will leave Boca in January because the offer made by Juventus is excellent," affirmed an unidentified Boca source.

"As well as this, Carlos Ischia, Boca's new coach, won't get in the way of any possible departure, after advice from Carlos Bianchi," he added.

When the deal in finalised, Boca will recover the large sum of money they invested in Juan Roman Riquelme, who returned to the club from Villarreal.

Banega, who became one of Boca's key players last season is a highly rated midfielder - solid defensively but with also possessing great passing skills - who is likely to take Italian football by storm.

Many have compared the youngster to AC Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso, but insist that he is faster, smarter, and has a much higher level of technique.

So it was no surprise that Milan have also been after his signature, but seem to have already lost the race to bitter rivals Juventus.
