Juventus have offloaded striker Marco Amauri, bringing in Alessandro Matri from Cagliari.
Juventus have gone some way in solving their striker crisis by bringing in Alessandro Matri from Cagliari. The 26-year-old Italian arrives on a loan deal that requires Juventus to pay Cagliari 2.5 million euros immediately and 15.5 million euros over three years.
The Bianconeri have been struggling in Serie A lately with injuries to Fabio Quagliarella and Vincenzo Iaquinta being a major reason.
As a result, Alessandro Del Piero has had to partner an ineffectual Marco Amauri up front.
Due to Amauri's inability to score goals, Juventus have loaned the striker to Parma. From Juventus's perspective, it has been a satisfying transaction, even if the price paid for Matri seems a bit high.
Matri was also a target for Milan, but Juventus's need to buy a striker capable of scoring goals was urgent. Currently, they lie 12 points behind league leaders Milan.
