Juventus officials are due in London today to discuss the transfer of the 25-year-old Paulo Sousa, who is a close friend of Gianluca Vialli - Ruud Gullit's first major signing for Chelsea. Paulo Sousa's place at Juventus is under threat from the arrival of Zinedine Zidane from Bordeaux.

"The transfer of Couto to Glasgow Rangers is almost completed," Riccardo Sogliano, the Parma coach said.
Sogliano also announced Parma's double signing of the midfield duo Rivaldo and Amaral from the Brazilian club, Palmeiras. Parma have paid pounds 6m for the 23-year-old Amaral and pounds 2.5m for Rivaldo.
