Stoke are set to hold talks over a proposed £13.5m deal for Juventus midfielder Mario Lemina, according to Sky sources.
Officials from both clubs are meeting in London on Friday to discuss a possible transfer of the 23-year-old.
Lemina, a Gabon international, joined Juventus from Marseille in 2015 and has since helped the club win two Serie A titles.
He has three years remaining on his current deal with Juventus.
Stoke have declined to comment at this stage during the negotiations.
Manager Mark Hughes has so far made three major signings ahead of the new Premier League season, with Darren Fletcher, Kurt Zouma and Josh Tymon arriving at the bet365 Stadium.
Hughes has also allowed Jon Walters, Glenn Whelan and Marko Arnautovic to leave the club for a combined fee in the region of £30m.
