Juventus captures Rincon from Genoa for €8M plus add-ons

The looting of Genoa early in the January transfer window continues after Juventus confirmed the acquisition of Tomas Rincon for €8 million plus €1 million in potential add-ons.

Rincon becomes the first Venezuelan to represent the Bianconeri, and penned a deal until June 30, 2020.

The midfielder is the second player to leave the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Tuesday, with Leonardo Pavoletti being snapped up by Juve's Serie A title rival Napoli.

Rincon has made 16 league appearances so far this term and offers competition to the less swashbuckling midfielders in Massimiliano Allegri's ranks, such as Claudio Marchisio, Sami Khedira, and Stefano Sturaro, but Hernanes' place is perhaps the most at risk following some indifferent performances this term.

Juventus returns after the winter break on Sunday to host Bologna.
