Cristian Romero 'Will Go to Juventus' This Summer, Says Genoa President

Genoa president Enrico Preziosi has confirmed defender Cristian Romero will join Juventus this summer after only one season at the club.

Romero moved to Italy from boyhood club Belgrano last summer and has made a noticeable impact in his maiden campaign.

Preziosi told Primocanale (h/t Omnisport, via Yahoo Sport) the deal will go through as the club look to clear their debts:

"You all know that there is a negotiation in progress—[Romero] will go to Juventus.

"The sale of [Krzysztof] Piatek and that of Romero will definitely put the club's accounts in order.
