Reports emanating from Italy are claiming that the Bianconeri have agreed a deal for Roma's Dutch midfielder Kevin Strootman, once a long term target of Manchester United.
Strootman, 27, arrived at the Stadio Olimpico in a €17 million deal in 2013, but missed the bulk of his first couple of years with the Serie A giants following two anterior cruciate ligament injuries that threatened to derail his career.

Despite his injury problems, Strootman returned to the Roma first team, last season, making 45 appearances during the 2016/17 campaign.
Now, sources have confirmed to Calcio Mercato that the Netherlands international has agreed terms on a deal with Juventus which will see Juve's Colombian winger Juan Cuadrado move in the opposite direction.
Juventus will also pay £27 million for Strootman, with Cuadrado effectively replacing Mohamed Salah, who moved to Liverpool, earlier this summer.
