The Serie A side will pay £2million to sign the Argentine on loan, according to Italian newspaper .
And should his spell in Turin be a successful one Juventus could make his move permanent for an additional £30m.
Icardi was also linked with a move to the Old Lady last summer and was said to be 'open' to the switch.
