Andrea Barzagli signs a two-and-a-half year contract with Juventus
The Wolfsburg star, Andrea Barzagli, signed a two-and-a-half year deal for the Italian side Juventus after a deal with the German club was agreed upon. The Italian club sent out an official statement on Thursday on their official website and confirmed their
new signing.
The Italian defender was a part of the FIFA World Cup 2006 campaign under the Italian side. The Italian defender managed to become a crucial player for Wolfsburg and helped them become a good team in the German Bundesliga. However, Barzagli decided to join
the Italian side Juventus so he could make a move back to Italy. While playing for Italy back in 2006, the former Wolfsburg player managed to win the title as the Italians won it against Zinedine Zidanne's French side.
The statement was released by both the teams' official websites. The statement given by Juventus stated that Andrea Barzagli is "Bianconero."
The contract with the new club will help him play under the Italian side till 30 June 2013. Wolfsburg did not really have plans for the Italian defender and that is the reason why he decided to join the Serie A side.
Juventus are having a remarkable season in their respective league. They have managed to pull together a team of young players including http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809. The Italians have been doing a great job and with a
new defender coming their way, it is going to help them build a stronger defensive wall.
The fee that has been agreed between the two clubs is reported to be 300,000 Euros. However, this is not the final payment that was paid by Juventus to Wolfsburg. There were bonuses tied to the agreed payment which would take the deal to 600,000 Euros.
Juventus faced Roma in the Coppa Italia. Even though Barzagli was a part of the training session that took place right before the game, he still couldn't become a part of the squad that faced the Roman side. The game ended in a 0-2 humiliation for Juventus
as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 managed to take a step forward to win the Coppa Italia title.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andrea-Barzagli-c5669 is now going to be available for the game against Udinese which is going to take place on Sunday.
