Juventus poised to sign Drogba

Juventus has made "significant progress" in its bid to sign Didier Drogba, who has agreed in principle to an 18-month deal with the Serie A champion, reports said.

The 34-year-old former Chelsea striker signed a 2-1/2-year deal with Shanghai Shenhua in July but the Ivory Coast star could be reconsidering his options after a disappointing start to his career in China. Reports on Saturday said Juventus had originally offered a six-month deal for Drogba while he was seeking a two-and-a-half year deal. A compromise now appears to have been reached, according to Gazzetta dello Sport's website which said yesterday both parties had agreed "in principle" to an 18-month contract.
