Juventus have confirmed the double signing of Emanuele Giaccherini and Sebastian Giovinco. Giovinco, 27, joined the Serie A champions last season for 3 million euros in a co-ownership deal with Cesena retaining 50% of his contract. Giaccherini, who is currently on international duty with Italy at Euro 2012, impressed for the Old Lady last year forcing them to gain full ownership of the player for 4.25 million euros. The versatile attacking midfielder is now contracted to the Turin-based club until June 2015. Giovinco, 25, has spent the last two seasons at Parma and scored 15 goals last term to help them preserve their top-flight status. But Juventus have now gained control of his sporting rights for a reported 11 million euros and the Italy international will now return to the club where he started his career.
