Former Lyon fullback Fabio Grosso is delighted with his move to Juventus.

Grosso joins Juve for a knockdown £1.5 million and said: "I am very happy, it is what I wanted for some time and I managed to make it happen.

"I can't wait to meet up with my teammates next week, but first I want to win these two games with the Nazionale so we can achieve qualification for the World Cup."

Juve GM Jean-Claude Blanc said: "Grosso adds more quality to an already very competitive side.

"[Coach Ciro] Ferrara will have many options and has a player he already appreciated in the Nazionale.

"With this move we conclude the very active Juventus transfer market for the summer, as we are now in the best condition to focus on our sporting objectives."
