Roberto Pereyra will be back at Juventus Stadium next season.

Juventus announced Tuesday they've taken up the option to sign the 24-year-old attacking midfielder on a permanent basis from Udinese Calcio, and will pay the prearranged fee of €14 million over the next three years.

Pereyra notched four goals and three assists though 35 Serie A appearances last season, establishing himself as a lethal weapon off the bench in Juventus's phenomenal Champions League campaign.

Should he achieve "certain predefined sporting targets by 30 June 2020," the €14-million sum could increase by a further €1.5 million.
