Juventus complete permanent Lemina signing

Juventus have completed the permanent signing of Mario Lemina from Marseille in a transfer worth initially around €9.5 million (£7.4m).

Lemina joined the Italian giants on loan last summer, but has only managed to make 11 appearances for the club this season, having been sidelined through injury for a large part of the season.

When Juventus agreed to bring the player in on loan, they got given the right to sign the 22-year-old on a permanent deal, which they have decided to do.

Lemina has signed a contract until June 2020 for a fee that could rise to €10.5m (£8.2m) should his performance-related targets be met.
