Juventus offload former Villa defender Mellberg to Olympiacos in £2m deal
Juventus have agreed to sell former Aston Villa defender Olof Mellberg to Olympiacos for around £2million.
Mellberg, 31, joined Juve last summer as a free agent from Aston Villa and made 27 Serie A appearances for the Turin giants.
The Swedish international made 231 appearances for Villa between 2001 and 2008.
A club statement said: 'After one season, Juventus salute OlofMellberg. The Swedish defender leaves the Bianconeri to join Greek clubOlympiacos on a permanent transfer for a 2.5million euros fee.'
Juve, who finished as Serie A runners-up behind Inter Milan, bolstered their defence last month by re-signing veteran centre-back Fabio Cannavaro from Real Madrid.
