Romulo: I will play anywhere for Juve

New Juventus signing Romulo is willing to play anywhere in order to help the club maintain their winning tradition.

The 27-year-old joined on an initial one-year loan deal from fellow Serie A side Verona on Saturday, with Juve retaining the right to make the deal permanent at the end of the season for €6million, which would be paid over the course of three years.

Romulo is predominantly a central midfielder, but the former Fiorentina man can also be employed at full-back.

And the Brazil-born Italian has vowed to use his versatility and never-say-die attitude to aid Massimiliano Allegri’s side, who paid €1m to secure his services for the 2014-15 campaign, in which they will target a fourth consecutive league title.

“I’m very happy to be here and will give all I can to help Juventus keep winning,” he said at a news conference.

Romulo joins the likes of Alvaro Morata, Roberto Pereyra and Patrice Evra in moving to the Juventus Stadium during the close-season and he could make his Juve debut at Chievo when their league defence starts on August 30.
