TURIN, Italy — Uruguay defender Martin Caceres has signed a permanent deal with Juventus, tying him to the Serie A champion until 2016.
Caceres joined Juventus for a second loan spell in January from Sevilla and the 25-year-old has impressed enough to earn a four-year contract.
Caceres enjoyed his first spell at Juventus when he signed on a season-long loan deal from Barcelona in August 2009. Although he got off to a goalscoring debut in the league and was a regular in the team, he was sidelined by injury for several months and Juventus did not make the move permanent.
Caceres returned to Barcelona but was immediately shipped out to Sevilla, first on loan and then in a permanent move.
