Juventus are set to sign 33-year-old Barcelona right-back Dani Alves on a free transfer.
The Brazil international has a clause allowing him to leave for free before 5 June.
Juve director general Giuseppe Marotta said, as quoted in Spanish newspaper Marca "I can confirm that talks with Dani Alves are going well and that we're satisfied with them.
"Negotiations are at a very advanced stage, and we're very optimistic."
The Italian champions also want to sign 31-year-old centre-back Javier Mascherano from Barcelona.
But Marotta said: "We are talking about incorporating Mascherano, but those negotiations are a bit more complicated."
