Juventus have called off their long-running pursuit of Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso after signing Denmark's Christian Poulsen from Sevilla.
Poulsen is the eighth new arrival in Turin during the summer.
And Juve president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli has said he expects that to conclude the club's transfer activity.
"If I have to be honest, unless something extraordinary happens, we can say that we have concluded our transfer activity," said Cobolli Gigli.
Spanish international Alonso had been linked with a move to Juventus all summer, with his departure expected to pave the way for Liverpool to sign Aston Villa captain Gareth Barry as a replacement.
But Cobolli Gigli suggested Danish international Poulsen's arrival would result in Alonso remaining at Anfield.
"I am convinced that we have made a good choice by acquiring Christian Poulsen," he added.
"The signing is not a bet made by [Claudio] Ranieri but rather a tactical decision taken by Juventus, knowing that a powerful attack can only be supported by a strong midfield."
Awesome news, I never wanted him to leave.

Well why the fuck would you blow all that money on Barry if Alonso is staying?
Plus I thought you didn't have much money?
Surely the money should go on a position which actually needs strengthening. Gerrard, Alonso, Mascherano, Lucas is surely enough without lashing out 16m or whatever on another midfielder. You need a striker.

I would've thought they need a stronger backline to be honest, the attack is fairly good. So if you get Barry as well how are you going to cope with so many midfielders? Surely some would start getting frustrated.

When everyone is fit their defence is very good. Carragher, Skrtel and Agger are all good enough centre backs and they have strengthened their full backs already with Dossena and Degen.
Up front, who do they have apart from Torres who is title winning class?
