Inter are expected to win the race for Internacional defender Juan after the player revealed a deal with the Nerazzurri to be practically done and dusted.

 

The 20-year-old centre back, who can also operate as a left back, has impressed with Internacional and been watched by a number of European clubs.

 

Inter have been the keenest, with coach Claudio Ranieri desperate to add new signings in the January transfer window as he looks to ensure the 2010 European champions secure at least a Champions League spot after a poor start to the current campaign.

 

Juan fits the bill and is looking forward to joining Inter.

 

"The deal is practically done", said the Brazilian.

 

"I hope to be in Italy soon.

 

"Joining Inter is a dream."
