MILAN - AC Milan have sold
goalkeeper Marco Storari to rivals Juventus and signed Genoa's Marco
Amelia on loan as his replacement, the Serie A club said in a statement
on Wednesday.
Last season's number one Dida
was released at the end of the campaign and Christian Abbiati is poised
to be Milan's first choice after recovering from a serious knee injury.
Amelia will be his deputy.
Storari spent the second half of
last season on loan at Sampdoria and has joined Juve on a three-year
deal with first- choice Gianluigi Buffon probably needing an operation
on his back when he returns from the World Cup with Italy.
Juve, who last month named
former Samp boss Luigi Del Neri as their new coach after finishing a
disappointing seventh in the standings, are also close to signing
Catania's Uruguayan forward Jorge Martinez, according to the Sicilian
club.
