Verona have exercised their option to buy Juventus defender-midfielder Luca Marrone following their promotion to Serie A.

Goal.com’s Romeo Agresti reports the deal will set Verona back ‘close to €1m’ and see Marrone end his career-long association with Juve.

A former Italy youth international, the 29-year-old was considered a bright prospect when he came through the Bianconeri’s youth academy.

Instead, he played just 23 times for the Old Lady and was subsequently loaned out to various clubs.
