Juventus make £36m signing of Bernardeschi

Italy winger Federico Bernardeschi has completed his move to Juventus for £35.8million from Fiorentina.

The 23-year-old Bernardeschi was mobbed by Juventus fans upon his arrival at a medical centre in Turin on Monday.

Juventus have handed Bernardeschi a five-year contract worth almost £3.6m per season.

Bernardeschi joins Douglas Costa (from Bayern Munich), Mattia De Sciglio (AC Milan) and Wojciech Szczesny (Arsenal) as Juventus' major acquisitions this summer, while Leonardo Bonucci (to Milan) and Dani Alves (Paris Saint-Germain) have left the club.

Also, former Italy forward Antonio Cassano announced he's leaving Hellas Verona two weeks after signing with the promoted club.

The 35-year-old Cassano, who did not play last season and has been debating retirement, says he still wants to continue his footballing career.
