Fiorentina have completed the signing of Juventus winger Marco Marchionni, confirmed by a press release through their official website Viola Channel.

The Florence-based outfit have paid just over €2 million to the Bianconeri to take the 28-year-old on a co-ownership basis. The midfielder will reunite with coach Cesare Prandelli, with whom he worked with successfully at Parma from 2002-2004.

The deal only needs to be given the go ahead by the player himself, but that will only be a formality.

The press have suggested the arrival of the ex-Parma man is a sign that the Viola have given up on trying to sign Real Madrid's Royston Drenthe. Meanwhile, it could also result in the departure of Franco Semioli or Mario Santana.

Marchionni joined Juventus in 2006, but featured inconsistently for the club due to injury problems.
