Emre Can has completed his transfer to Juventus from Liverpool

The Germany international's move away from Anfield was confirmed earlier this month after the 24-year-old turned down the offer of a new deal.

Can, who was linked with a move to Serie A several months ago, flew into Turin on Thursday to undergo a medical and complete the formalities of his deal.

A statement from the Italian club says "Juventus Football Club announces that Emre Can has signed with the Bianconeri to officially join the club on July 1 2018 on a four-year deal.''

"As a result of the signature of the agreement, Juventus will incur additional costs of 16 million euros (#14m), to be paid over the next two financial years.''

That sum is likely to comprise signing-on and agent's fees as Press Association Sport understands Liverpool are not due any compensation for the player, who joined them from Bayer Leverkusen for £10m as a 19-year-old.

Can has been linked with Juve for several months and the Serie A champions teed up his signing by posting a video on Twitter of the player being greeted by club officials at Turin Airport.

It was also accompanied by a picture with the caption "Emre Can has landed in Turin''
