James Troisi

el-capitano · Jun 21, 2012

Australia midfielder James Troisi is set to snare a dream move to Italy's Juventus after turning down a $6 million offer to play in the Persian Gulf.
Under the terms of the Italian deal, due to be officially confirmed imminently, the 23-year-old will sign for the Serie A champion which will in turn loan him out to promoted Pescara for the first year of his contract.
Last week Troisi rejected a mega offer from Qatari club El Jaish in favour of a less lucrative but more challenging quest to test himself against the best in Europe.
“The plan then is for him to come back to Juventus in year two. That's where we’re at right now. It’s not totally secured yet but hopefully everything will be resolved by next week.”
The deal would make Troisi the seventh Australian to play in Serie A after Mark Bresciano, Vince Grella, John Aloisi, Paul Okon, Frank Farina and Zeljko Kalac.
Pescara won the Serie B title ahead of Torino on goal difference to return to the top flight after a 19-year absence while the Old Lady went unbeaten in winning the title by four points from AC Milan.

Its finally confirmed.

James Troisi's protracted move to Juventus has finally been confirmed with the Australia winger signing a four-year deal with the 2011-2012 Serie A champion.

But it will be a while before he pulls on the black and white shirt of the Bianconeri with the Turin club immediately loaning him out to Serie A rival Atalanta in a complex deal which will see rising star Manolo Gabbiadini coming back the other way, via a season-long loan at Bologna.
Juventus will also hand over $4.4 million to take co-ownership of the Italy Under-21 striker.

Now the deal is finalised, Juventus will honour its long-standing agreement with Bologna to send Gabbiadini to the Dall'Ara for a year.
Troisi is hoping to break into the Atalanta side as soon as possible to reignite his international career after four months away from the game.
