Olof Mellberg heads to Greece

Tuesday, 23 June 2009

Juventus have agreed to sell Sweden defender Olof Mellberg to Olympiacos for 2.5million euros, the Italian club confirmed today.

Mellberg, 31, joined Juve last summer as a free agent from Aston Villa and made 27 Serie A appearances for the Turin giants.

"After one season, Juventus salute Olof Mellberg," read a statement on the club's official website, www.juventus.it.

"The Swedish defender leaves the Bianconeri to join Greek club Olympiacos on a permanent transfer for a 2.5million euros fee."

Juve, who finished as Serie A runners-up behind Inter Milan, bolstered their defence last month by re-signing veteran centre-back Fabio Cannavaro from Real Madrid.
