Juventus defender Paolo de Ceglie joins Parma on loan

Juventus defender Paolo de Ceglie has joined Parma on loan until the end of the season.

The Juve academy graduate has struggled to secure first-team football at his parent club following a loan stint with Genoa.

"Juventus Football Club can confirm that Paolo de Ceglie has agreed to join Parma on a one-season loan deal," read a statement on the Juventus website.

"Following a six-month spell with Genoa, the 27-year-old Bianconeri academy graduate will now spend the 2014-15 campaign at the Stadio Tardini."

De Ceglie has featured just 12 times for Juventus since completing his Genoa loan in January.
