Internacional defender Juan Jesus is just one step away to joining Italian Serie A giants Inter Milan.

The 20-year-old defender is believed to soon be joining them this season. Juan, who is already targeted in recent weeks, apparently will be Inter’s first major recruitment in January.

“I think I’ll be in Italy on January 7 or 8,” said Juan to FCInter1908.it.

“Is everything done? I just signed a contract and gave a formal statement to the medias.”
