Mellberg officially leaves Juve
Tuesday 23 June, 2009
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus have formally announced the sale of Sweden international centre-back Olof Mellberg to Greek side Olympiacos.
The 31-year-old only joined the Bianconeri last summer, but the signing of Fabio Cannavaro put his future in doubt.
He made 27 appearances for Juventus last season and scored two goals.
According to a statement released to the stock exchange, the Bianconeri will receive £2.1m for Mellberg in two instalments.
Juventus will also receive £430,000 should Mellberg win the Greek Super League while playing for Olympiacos.
Considering the Thrylos have won the last three championship titles in Greece, Juventus can expect to receive that £430,000 sooner rather than later
