JUVENTUS SIGN LUCA PELLEGRINI, SELL LEONARDO SPINAZZOLA TO ROMA

Juventus has never been a club that has been all too big on player swaps. 

Even with how much that the Italian press makes it seem like it will happen all the time transfer rumors involving player swap

Yet, as we sit here on the eve of July starting, Juve have indeed done some swapping of players.

And cash ... right before the end of the month when the books are closed for good for the year.

Juventus officially announced its swap deal with Roma that involves a pair of talented fullbacks. After completing his exams at J Medical earlier in the day Sunday, Luca Pellegrini has officially become a Juventus player, with Leonardo Spinazzola going the other way in the swap deal that also sees Roma send €7.5 million to Juventus with the latter’s transfer value being that much higher than the former’s.

Spinazzola underwent his medicals with Roma early Saturday.
