Momo Sissoko has completed an £8.2 million transfer from Liverpool to Juventus. With Mali already out of the African Cup Sissoko should be available to make his debut against Inter Milan.
In his first interview as a Juventus player Sissoko said: "Im very happy to be in Turin... Juventus are a great Club, exceptional players have played here, and it’s really fantastic to be part of such a set-up for a young guy like me, who’s just turned 23"
He added: "I'm a fighter who likes to press. My aim is to become a great midfielder and I can reach it at Juventus. This will be a fundamental experience for me, an important step in my career"
It seems Sissoko became surplus to requirements at Anfield. Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez said: "I think it's a good move for Momo and for us. He is a very good professional and a nice boy. He wanted to play and it's difficult here with Lucas and Mascherano playing well now, and Xabi Alonso and Gerrard.
"Everything has been positive. We have four players in this position so it's good for him and good for us."
Benitez is hopeful of making Mascherano, who has been on loan at Liverpool since last seasons january transfer window, a permanent signing at Anfield.
