Sissoko completes Juve switch



Juventus have completed the signing of Liverpool midfielder Mohamed Sissoko for £8.2million.
Claudio Ranieri has been chasing the Mali international for the majority of the January transfer window after it became clear Reds boss Rafa Benitez was open to offers.
Sissoko, who is currently on Africa Cup of Nations duty, joined Liverpool in 2005 in a £5.6m move from Valencia.

However, the 23-year-old has struggled for first-team football at Anfield following the loan arrival of Javier Mascherano.
And Juve boss Ranieri has now swooped to reinforce his central midfield as he bids to keep pace with Roma and Internazionale at the top of Seire A.
The sale of Sissoko is expected to provide Benitez with additional funds to finance a permanent transfer for Mascherano.Juventus have completed the signing of Liverpool midfielder Mohamed Sissoko for £8.2million.
