The
Scudetto holders have further strengthened their attack with the arrival of the
Italy international on a five-year contract
Juventus have
announced the signing of Simone Zaza from Sassuolo for
€18 million.
The
Italian champions entered into a co-ownership agreement with their Serie A
rivals for the striker in 2013 but sold their share in the 24-year-old to the
Neroverdi last summer.
However,
the Old Lady retained the right to buy Zaza back - and the Scudetto holders
have now enacted that option.
"Juventus
announces that it has reached an agreement with Sassuolo for the outright
acquisition of the sporting rights of the footballer Simone Zaza for €18
million, which is to be paid over three years," read a statement released
on the Bianconeri's official website on Tuesday.
"Juventus
also confirms that the same player has signed a five-year contract with the
club."
Zaza,
who scored 20 goals in 64 appearances for Sassuolo, is the third new striker to
arrive in Turin this summer, with Juve already having signed Mario Mandzukic
from Atletico Madrid and Palermo starlet Paulo Dybala.
