Verona have exercised their option to buy Juventus defender-midfielder Luca Marrone following their promotion to Serie A.
Goal.com’s Romeo Agresti reports the deal will set Verona back ‘close to €1m’ and see Marrone end his career-long association with Juve.
A former Italy youth international, the 29-year-old was considered a bright prospect when he came through the Bianconeri’s youth academy.
Instead, he played just 23 times for the Old Lady and was subsequently loaned out to various clubs.
However, he will help the Gialloblu on their return to the top flight after making 25 appearances last season.
