Juventus striker Luca Toni has departed Turin for United Arab Emirates club Al Nasr, the Serie A giants have confirmed.

The 34-year-old former Italy international was under contract with the Bianconeri for a further six months, but has opted to depart for the UAE Pro-League club - who are coached by former Inter Milan and Azzurri goalkeeper Walter Zenga.

A Juve statement read: "Luca Toni's career will continue in the United Arab Emirates.

"Juventus has reached an agreement with Al Nasr to transfer the striker permanently."

Toni moved to Juventus a year ago from Genoa and has scored two goals in 15 appearances for the Bianconeri in all competitions.
