TURIN, Italy (AP) _ Midfielder Patrick Vieira transferred from Arsenal to Juventus on Thursday for a euro20 million (US$24.13 million) fee, Europe's biggest signing of the summer.

The 29-year-old will join France teammate David Trezeguet at Juventus, which won the Italian title last season.

Vieira also played in Italy in 1995-96, when he appeared in two games for AC Milan. The next season he moved to Arsenal as Arsene Wenger's first signing, eventually becoming captain of the English club.

Juventus, which signed Vieira to a five-year contract, will pay Arsenal euro10 million (US$12.07 million) immediately after the contract is ratified, euro5 million (US$6.03 million) on August 14, 2006, and the last euro5 million (US$6.03 million) on August 14, 2007.
