Juventus chief executive Jean-Claude Blanc has hailed Diego's arrival from Werder Bremen, describing the move as 'fundamental'.

The Brazilian ace completed his switch on Tuesday morning and Juve will pay Werder €24.5million over the next two years. Blanc, who had a major role in the deal, is delighted with his new man after Juve beat off stiff competition from Bayern Munich.

"He is a fundamental player for his technical abilities and for the strengthening of the team," Blanc told the club's official website.

"We always said our objective was to put young players together with champions, and Diego fits the bill. Although he is 24, he has great ability.

"I am sure his contribution will help Juventus continue to grow."

After signing his new deal, Diego headed back to Germany where he is set to play in this weekend's German cup final.
