OFFICIAL | Juventus sign striker Arkadiusz Milik permanently from Marseille

Juventus have completed the signing of striker Arkadiusz Milik from Ligue 1 side Marseille.

An official statement from the club confirmed the permanent signing of Milik, who spent a season-long loan with Juventus last term.

Marseille is set to earn a fee of โ‚ฌ6 million plus โ‚ฌ1 million from the sale of the Pole striker. Being brought in as a backup forward last season by the Bianconeri, Milik played a consistent and significant role throughout the campaign, scoring seven goals and netting twice in the Champions League.

This comes positively as part of manager Massimiliano Allegriโ€™s plan to secure the attacking department for the new season. First-choice striker Dusan Vlahovicโ€™s future has been uncertain in recent times and the signing of the 29-year-old comes as an insurance.ย 

The Bianconeri are now looking to strengthen a few other areas in their team. A move for Chelseaโ€™s Cesare Casadei and Empoliโ€™s Fabiano Parsii is being contemplated in the next few days.
