The midfielder was set to leave the German side for free at the end of the campaign and was courted by the Turin giants and Roma.

The 25-year-old had a medical in Turin on Monday before completing the switch.

A statement on Gladbach's website read: "Borussia’s midfielder will join the Italian record champions with immediate effect.

"The two clubs came to an agreement on the transfer on Sunday evening, with the Switzerland international completing his medical on Monday morning. The various paperwork and contracts were exchanged between the clubs after this.

The Switzerland international midfielder will fulfil this wish, after requesting a transfer to Juventus during the January transfer window."
