Juventus have announced they have signed the 21-year-old who scored 13 goals and assisted 5 in 35 games for Sampdoria.

Wojciech Szczesny has signed for Italian giants Juventus on a four-year deal for a fee of around £13 million.



He said in a statement released by Juventus. “I am delighted to have signed for this club, I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Rome and to have Juventus contact me was one of the best feelings I have had in my life.”

He also gave his thanks to former manager Arsene Wenger.

“I would like to say that I’m very happy that he (Arsene) has signed a new contract at Arsenal because he is a fantastic manager and if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be here today.”

Many are speculating whether this signing means Gianluigi Buffon will retire or Szcesny will be his understudy, it’s surely a matter of days before we find out.

According to reports, Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is keen to do a double swoop on his former club with 30-year-old Leonardo Bonucci who extended his contract until 2021 last December and Brazilian left back Alex Sandro on his wishlist. The Premier League Champions are hoping to attract them with Champions League football back at Stamford bridge this season.

A Turin-based newspaper reported that Chelsea have submitted a £48.5m for the defender, but Juventus have talked down a move for the experienced Italy international.
Juventus have also announced they have rejected a £50 million bid for Alex Sandro just over a month after rejecting a £44 million bid from the same club.

The news comes just 4 days before their season begins in Monterrey, with Allegri hoping his players will be focusing on the season ahead.
