Juventus striker Simone Zaza is reportedly edging closer to finalising a move to German club Wolfsburg.
Zaza is said to be reluctant to leave the Serie A champions but was impressed by what he saw after flying out to Wolfsburg for a private tour of the club and its training facilities.
Negotiations are said to be at an advanced stage and, according to "?Football Italia, only one more meeting is required to finalise some of the finer details and personal terms, paving the way for the Italy international to complete a switch worth £21m. An announcement is expected on Monday or Tuesday.

Zaza moved to Juventus from Sassuolo in 2015 and was said to be digging in his heels over a move away from Turin, rejecting West Ham earlier this summer.
Following the high-profile arrival of Gonzalo Higuain however, Zaza was pushed further down the pecking order in Massimiliano Allegri's side and was informed he was free to look for a new club.
Last season he scored eight goals and registered two assists in 24 appearances. He featured for Italy during Euro 2016, comically missing a penalty in their quarter-final shootout defeat to Germany - but that has clearly not deterred Wolfsburg.
Allegri said that any money received for players would be reinvested into acquiring two top-quality central midfielders in the wake of Paul Pogba's world-record departure to Manchester United last week.
"The important thing is that the two players are talented, technically gifted and have the character to play for Juventus. The market closes on August 31 and the club has done very well so far,"? said Allegri.
"We don't need a new striker, as there would be no point signing someone inferior to the level we already have."?
