Olof Mellberg is close to leaving Aston Villa Football Club for Juventus.
The Swedish international defender is out of contract in the summer, and the Old Lady of Italian football claim to be closing in on his Bosman free transfer signature.
"Mellberg is close to signing a preliminary agreement with Juventus," said the club's sporting director Alessio Secco. "If everything goes well, the player will become a Juve player in July."
Martin O'Neill had hoped to secure Mellberg to a new contract at Villa Park, yet it now looks increasingly likely that the former Racing Santander man is nearing an end to his time in England.
