Juventus is the club that's pushing the most for Iago although it's expected that the Italians will have to find a deal with Barcelona that's not planning to just let the player go for free and without any condition.

Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo claims that Juventus is in poll position to sign Iago and that there were new contacts with the Italian club yesterday which could lead to a deal this weekend (read more here).
