Vieira moves from Arsenal to Juventus

TURIN, Italy -- Midfielder Patrick Vieira transferred from
Arsenal of the English Premier League to Juventus of Italy's Serie
A on Thursday for a transfer fee of just over $24 million.

The 29-year-old will join France teammate David Trezeguet at
Juventus, which won the Italian title last season. Vieira also
played in Italy in 1995-96, when he was at AC Milan.

"When you spend nine years at the club, like I did, it is a
difficult decision to leave," Vieira said. "But in the end you
have to make a choice for your future. It was a very difficult
decision, but I am happy with it."
