Cancelo makes a U-turn to Italy after playing on loan at Inter Milan for the whole of the 2017-18 season. The Nerrazuri had the option to buy the full-back but refused to activate the clause. The 24-year-old helped the San Siro outfits to a Champions League spot and made a total of 26 appearances.
Joao Cancelo who comes in to replace the departed Stephan Lichtsteiner is Juventus' second summer signing after Emre Can.
