Almirón accepts Bari challenge

Newly promoted Serie A side AS Bari have signed Argentinian midfielder Sergio Bernardo Almirón on a season-long loan from Juventus. The 28-year-old, who joined Juventus from Empoli FC in 2007, played just eleven games for the Bianconeri before loan spells with AS Monaco FC and, last term, at ACF Fiorentina.
