Report: Molinaro joins Stuttgart Monday 4 January, 2010
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After negotiations with Atletico Madrid came to a standstill, Juventus have now reportedly sold Cristian Molinaro to Stuttgart.
The 26-year-old was a regular under Claudio Ranieri last season, but Ciro Ferrara hasn't shown the same faith in him, giving Molinaro just five starts in Serie A.
Molinaro is particularly attractive to Stuttgart because he has yet to appear in the Champions League and so would be available for February's second round tie against Barcelona.
He will arrive at the Mercedes-Benz Arena on a six-month loan with a right-to-buy inserted into the deal.
Meanwhile, Juventus are still negotiating Tiago's sale to Atletico Madrid.
The player's father, Carlos Mendes, told Spanish newspaper AS: “It's the right solution for Atletico's central midfield.”
