Are Bastosas just one step away from moving to Juventus? © EuroFootball.com

Michel Bastos will most likely join Juventus this summer, writes the Lithuanian fan club website www.juventus.lt.

The 27-year-old defender, who currently plays in the French league, has been interested in the Turin club for some time. The Brazilian national team member would solve Juventus' problems on the left wing.

The Italian press reports that Juventus' sporting director, Giuseppe Marotta, has already contacted Bastos' agent, Emmanuel De Kerchove.

Representatives from both clubs discussed the Brazilian's future contract and his salary. Marotta is also negotiating the remaining details with Bastos' representative in Italy, Oscar Damiani.

Lyon is currently facing financial problems due to television broadcasts, so the French club will most likely have to sell some of their key players.
