Italy winger Federico Bernardeschi has joined Toronto FC on a free transfer from Juventus.

The 28-year-old, who was part of Italy's Euro 2020-winning squad last summer, has signed a four-year deal with the Major League Soccer team.

He won seven trophies in five seasons with Juve, including three consecutive Serie A titles from 2018 to 2020.

Italy winger Lorenzo Insigne agreed to leave Napoli for Toronto FC earlier this year.

"We think he's a great fit for what we're trying to build here at TFC," said Toronto coach and sporting director Bob Bradley.

Bernardeschi came through the youth ranks at Fiorentina and had a loan spell at Crotone in 2013-2014 before moving to Juventus in a 拢35m deal in 2017.
