The Guardian claims the Poland international will move to Turin in a deal worth £10million.

But Szczesny will have to make do with a spot on the bench for one season as Gianluigi Buffon enters his final year of professional football.

The Italian claims he will retire from the game after the 2018 World Cup, and Szczesny is seen as his long-term replacement.

The goalkeeper had previously been tipped to return to Arsenal and fight for a place in the first team.

David Ospina is expected to leave for Turkey, while Petr Cech isn’t getting any younger at 35.

However, Szczesny has decided to leave the Emirates instead and will be hoping he can help Juventus continue their dominant run in the Italian top flight.

Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain are making a late play for contract rebel Alexis Sanchez.

The Chilean could be set to leave Arsenal after failing to agree a new deal.

And the French giants reckon they can land Sanchez with a big-money offer this summer.
