Brazilian midfielder Emerson has finally left Roma and joined Juventus for an undisclosed fee.
It is believed that the 28-year-old was sold for a figure between £8m and £10m plus Matteo Brighi. The former Parma midfielder, however, is yet to agree terms with the capital side.
Emerson had reached an agreement with the Bianconeri some time ago but the two clubs had seemingly reached a stalemate with Real Madrid ready to pounce for the former Bayer Leverkusen man.
However, after a meeting yesterday with Juve’s Technical Director Luciano Moggi, Roma’s Franco Baldlini, revealed that the transfer had been completed.
“The deal was finally done on Tuesday,” confirmed the Sporting Director. “There are only a few details that need to be ironed out and then both teams give the official confirmation of Emerson’s transfer to Juventus.”
This deal could open the door for Roma to buy Alberto Gilardino. The capital club now have the money to offer Parma for the Italian Under-21 striker.
