Juventus confirmed that they have agreed to sell Sweden defender Olof Mellberg to Olympiacos for 2.5million euros.

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 from the club.

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

The club have also signed Werder Bremen playmaker Diego, with other potential targets including Udinese midfielder Gaetano D'Agostino.
