The 30-year-old, signed for around £9 million from Deportivo La Coruna in 2007, missed almost all of last season and has not played this term following a third operation.

Juve said last year they feared he would never be fit enough to cope with the demands of professional football.

The defender was at one stage considering court action, but a deal over a severance package has since been agreed.

  1. I feel sorry for Andrade. He was excellent when at­ Deportivo. Let's hope he eventually gets fit enough­ to play again.

  2. Next stop, Newcastle! They could do with another­ crocked player.

    On a serious note, shame for this­ player as he's quite good. Perhaps someone will­ snap him up and use him a bit like Ledley King gets­ used for Tottenham.
