Loan deal
The 22-year-old midfield player was bought by Juventus last summer but loaned back to Perugia, where he made 31 league appearances in the campaign just ended. However, Juventus have now decided to take up their option on the player.
Never forget
Blasi released the following statement on Perugia's website: "I want to thank everyone involved with the club, all the people who have been so kind to me. I have had three great years here, and I want to tell you all that I will never forget you." Blasi is contracted to Juventus until June 2006. His previous clubs include AS Roma and US Lecce.
