Giovinco returns to Juventus

Juventus have re-signed Sebastian Giovinco from Parma, the Serie A champions announced on Thursday.

Parma revealed the completion of the deal on Tuesday, but retracted their announcement just hours later.

Giovinco, who was co-owned by both clubs, has signed a three-year contract which will keep him at Juve until 2015.

Juventus agreed to pay 11 million euros for the remaining 50 percent ownership of the 25-year-old.

He follows in the footsteps of Emanuele Giaccherini, who signed a permanent deal with Juve earlier in the week for 4.25 million euros.

Giovinco, who has made two substitute appearances for Italy at Euro 2012, broke into Juve s first team in 2007 but was quickly loaned out to Empoli to get more games under his belt.

He returned to Juve in 2008 but failed to hold down a regular place at the club before signing for Parma in 2010, scoring 23 goals in 70 appearances for the club.
