Juventus finalises €40.4M move for Joao Cancelo

The Serie A will be seeing a lot more of Joao Cancelo.

After spending the 2017-18 campaign on loan at Inter Milan, Cancelo will be heading to Juventus next season after the Italian champion announced Wednesday it reached an agreement worth €40.4 million with Valencia for the Portuguese right-back.

Cancelo signed a five-year deal with Juventus, keeping him at the club until June 30, 2023.

The 24-year-old had a stellar debut year with Inter despite a knee ligament issue that cost him just over a month early in the season. Though he was seldom used in the weeks following his return, Cancelo claimed a starting spot in Luciano Spalletti's side in the second half of the campaign. He notched four assists and a goal of his own, helping the Nerazzurri return to the Champions League in 2018-19, vaulting Lazio for fourth-place on the final matchday.

Cancelo has represented Portugal at every youth level and has made six caps for the senior side. He was not selected in Fernando Santos' 23-man squad for the World Cup in Russia, however.
