Sevilla have continued their pre-season preparations with the signing of Enzo Maresca from Juventus.
The midfielder makes the switch to La Liga for €3 million after the Bianconeri decided he was expendable at Stadio Delle Alpi.
Juve had only just purchased full ownership of the 25-year-old from Fiorentina, although, with the arrival of Patrick Vieira, coach Fabio Capello has a wealth of midfield talent at his disposal.
The former West Brom star had been linked with a return to England in the form of London outfit Fulham, although he will now continue his development under Sevilla boss Juande Ramos.
The two clubs agreed on the deal after Sevilla sport director Ramon Rodriguez and director general Jose Maria Cruz made the trip to Turin to finalise negotiations with Bianconeri officials.
Maresca has penned a three-year deal and the Spanish outfit are hopeful that he can prove to be an astute purchase at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
"He is an excellent player who can do great things for Sevilla," said Rodriguez.
Maresca is Sevilla's third signing of the summer, following Valencia keeper Andres Palop and Brazilian striker Luis Fabiano. |
