A statement on the Bianconeri’s official website read: “Juventus Football Club can this evening confirm that an agreement has been reached with Inter Milan for the purchase of Anderson Hernanes for a fee of €11 million, payable in three financial years.”
The attacking midfielder has penned a three-year deal with his new club, and the deal may increase by a further €2 million should he meet certain sporting targets in the duration of his contract.
Hernanes’ signing has provided Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri with a much-needed playmaker, after the summer departures of key players like Andrea Pirlo, Arturo Vidal and Carlos Tevez left them in a difficult position following their indifferent start to the season.
