Sami Khedira joined the Italian champions this month as a free agent after turning down a contract extension to remain at the Bernabeu...
The 28y ear-old midfielder signed a four-year contract for the Turin giants and was unveiled to the media on Wednesday.
"I spent five wonderful years with Real Madrid and I had already made up my mind a while back that I needed a new challenge," Khedira said on the club's official website. "Juve is at the same level as Real Madrid.
"It was a simple decision to take."
Sami Khedira joins a side that won its fourth straight league title last season as well as the Coppa Italia - to clinch the domestic double for the first time since 1995.
Moreover, Juventus, under first-year coach Massimiliano Allegri, reached the Champions League final for the first time since 2003 after beating Real in the last four of the competition.
The Bianconeri lost 3-1 to Barcelona in last month's final.
"It's a great honour to play in Serie A," Khedira said. "It's a challenging competition and there are many strong teams.
"Juve have also proved they can compete at the same level against any European side.
"I want to experience again a Champions League final."
