Another move that not many saw coming, rumours pointed to Sevilla or even Barcelona. Juventus have announced the exit of Mattia De Sciglio, who is leaving on loan to Olympique Lyon for the 20-21 season.

Mattia De Sciglio was among the players to leave Juventus in this transfer market and, of course, has done so in the last hours before closing. The footballer is leaving Italian football.

The centre-back had been linked with clubs like Sevilla, Valencia, or even Barcelona to reinforce the right wing. He was also linked to a possible exchange deal with Arthur and Pjanic.

Finally, the Italian squad has announced that De Sciglio will be packing his bags to move to Lyon. The defender will go on loan after an agreement reached with Olympique Lyon for this season 20-21.

"We all thankful for De Sciglio, for this winning period together, and we wish him good luck in the continuation of his career", ended the club's statement.

During his three years at the club the Italian has won 5 major trophies.
