Juventus have reportedly completed the signing of Werder Bremen's star player Diego, according to Giacomo Petralito, who is a representative of the Brazilian.

"The three parties involved have already put signatures on the contracts," he revealed to the German magazine Kicker.

Petralito went on to explain that the deal is worth €24.5 million and includes a five-year contract with a salary of approximately €4 million per season for the former FC Porto midfielder.

"Juventus is a company that is quoted on the stock exchange and until May 31 they cannot announce any transfer," he continued.

In theory, nothing has been filed and Diego can reconsider, but the agent is confident that will not occur. "Juve is, and will, remain the player's wish."

The Bianconeri are keen on acquiring top class reinforcements after a disappointing season that has ended without any silverware and seen them unable to challenge for the Scudetto.

The Brazilian had been linked with a move to Turin over the past year and it appears a deal has now been finalised. He has been instrumental in his club's run to the UEFA Cup final this season, where they will face Shakhtar Donetsk in the final. However, the 24-year-old is suspended for that match after meeting his quota of yellow cards.
