The deal includes an obligation for the Serie A side to buy Kelly for a reported €14.5million fee subject to the achievement of certain sporting objectives. 

Since Kelly made the switch to St. James' Park last June, he featured 14 times across all competitions, only four of which came from the start under Eddie Howe.

His last appearance for the Magpies came in Saturday's 2-1 home defeat to Fulham, replacing Lewis Hall for the final three minutes against the Cottagers. 

Kelly bolsters Thiago Motta's defence for the remainder of the Serie A season, having lost defenders Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal to long-term injury issues. 

"Arriving from Newcastle United in the English Premier League, Kelly brings with him experience, physicality, aerial strength and a solid defensive reading of the game,ff777" Juventus said in a statement.

Juventus, who have also signed Portugal defender Renato Veiga on loan from Chelsea until the end of the season, travel to Como for a Serie A clash on Friday.

“The final was really intense; the Chinese were breathing down our necks throughout the game and made it really difficult for us to create a clear goal scoring chance,” Harmanpreet said in a Hockey India release.

On Tuesday, deep inside Chinese Mongoliamanaloplay, the Harmanpreet Singh-led Men in Blue did just about enough to beat a spirited Chinese side. The occasion: the final of the Asian Champions Trophy 2024.
