Manchester United have captured the signatures of defender Matteo Darmian as Torino coach Giampiero Ventura confirmed that a deal is imminent.
According to the reports, The Old Trafford side have agreed a fee worth up to €20 million (£14.3m) with the Italian club to sign the 25-year-old right-back, with an announcement expected in the coming days.
And Ventura says that he could hardly step in to prevent his charge from taking the opportunity to play at the highest level.
"It's true, Darmian will play in the Champions League with Manchester United," the coach told Sky Sport Italia.
"Matteo deserves a top team and always dreamed of playing in the Champions League so now that dream will be realised.
"In these four years [since Darmian joined Torino from AC Milan], we've gone from Serie B and a great depression to the top flight and the enthusiasm of the Europa League," Ventura continued.
"We worked with Darmian for many years and it's only right he should be given the chance to make his Champions League dream come true."
United are intending to strengthen their back line as they are still in talks with Nicolas Otamendi and still show some interest in Real Madrid star Sergio Ramos.
