Sissoko off to Juve

29 January 2008 - 17:22

Liverpool midfielder Mohamed Sissoko has been transferred to Juventus for a fee believed to be £8.2m.

Confirmed Liverpool line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Fulham, Barcola & Munoz start

Confirmed Chelsea line-up (3-4-2-1) vs Hull City, Lavia & James start

Sissoko has found himself out of favour at Liverpool due to the emergence of Javier Mascherano.



"I am happy to come to such an important club. This is certainly a step forward in my career," he said.



"I am excited at the thought of playing with great champions like [Gianluigi] Buffon and [Alessandro] Del Piero and working again with Claudio Ranieri, a great coach," he added.



This move should pave the way for Liverpool to complete the services of Mascherano who is on a 2-year loan at Liverpool.
