Vieira makes Inter switch

France midfielder Patrick Vieira has been sold to Internazionale from Juventus.

The announcement was made this morning through the Italian stock exchange, which has released a statement by Juve.

The Turin giants bought Vieira from Arsenal last summer, but players are being sold following the team's relegation to Serie B as punishment for their role in the Italian match-fixing scandal.

The statement said: “French midfielder Patrick Vieira is officially sold from Juventus to Inter for €9.5m, payable in three years.”
