MILAN, Italy -- Italy striker Pablo Osvaldo completed a loan move to Juventus on Friday after a troubled spell in England, while Inter Milan signed Brazil midfielder Hernanes from Lazio. "Im very happy," Osvaldo said of his return to Serie A. "Everything happened very fast and I still cant believe it ... Its been a hectic three or four days." Juventus has the option to buy the 28-year-old before May 31, for 19 million euros ($25.6 million). Osvaldo joined Southampton from Roma in August for a club-record 15.1 million euros (then $20 million). The forward scored four times for the Premier League club but was suspended for two weeks on Jan. 23 following a training-ground incident. Osvaldo was kicked out of the Confederations Cup squad last year for insulting his club coach at Roma in a breach of national team coach Cesare Prandellis code of ethics. Juventus is on course for a third straight league title and is six points clear of Osvaldos former club Roma -- its closest challenger. Another player also returned to Serie A on loan from the Premier League, with former Lazio defender Modibo Diakite signing for Fiorentina from Sunderland. Meanwhile, French winger Gael Kakuta moved to Lazio on loan from Chelsea. Hernanes left Lazios training ground in tears on Thursday, amid reports he was on the verge of signing for Inter. The 28-year-old midfielder -- who joined Lazio in 2010 -- had a medical at Inter on Friday before penning a four and a half year deal. Hernanes has scored two goals in 23 appearances for Brazil and helped his country to Confederations Cup success last summer. Earlier, Saint-Etienne defender Faouzi Ghoulam signed for Napoli until 2018. The 22-year-old Algeria international, who played for France at Under 21 level, made 87 league appearances in four seasons at Saint-Etienne. Ghoulam is Napolis third signing this month, following the arrivals of Jorginho and Henrique. Napoli also confirmed it allowed Pablo Armero to join Premier League club West Ham on loan until the end of the season. The club has also loaned out Paolo Cannavaro to newly-promoted Sassuolo, which has the option to buy the veteran defender at the end of the season. Cannavaro -- the younger brother of Italys retired World Cup-winning captain Fabio -- has been Napolis captain, but has struggled for playing time under Rafa Benitez. Sassuolo has signed goalkeeper Ciro Polito from Atalanta and forward Antonio Sanabria from Barcelona on permanent deals. Elsewhere, Roma signed Rafael Toloi from Sao Paulo on loan until the end of the season. Roma has paid the Brazilian club 500,000 euros ($700,000) for the loan and will pay a further 5.5 million euros ($7.4 million) if it decides to buy the defender in the summer. Roma also announced Marquinho has moved on loan to Hellas Verona. Several other deals are expected to be completed before the transfer window shuts on Friday night, with Lazios Hernanes having a medical at Inter Milan. Sf Air Force 1 Mid Desert Ochre .

Quintanas 3:07 lead ahead of fellow Colombian Rigoberto Uran remained unchanged entering Sundays final stage. "Its 99 per cent done," said Quintana, who shed some tears during the podium celebration. "They were tears of happiness. Ive achieved one of the big goals in my life." Francesco Manuel Bongiorno was right on Rogers wheel with three kilometres (two miles) to go when a fan pushed him hard enough on the back that he had to break to avoid hitting Rogers and took his left foot off the pedal. "Im very bitter," Bongiorno said. "On a climb like that when you lose your balance its impossible. ... Maybe this incident will be good for the future. The fans give us strength but they need to (learn)." By the time Bongiorno got going again on a stretch of road where the gradient was 15 per cent, Rogers had already opened up a significant lead. "I wasnt aware," Rogers said. "Im sorry for Bongiorno. Hes a good kid and rode hard. I tried to drop him many times. ... Unfortunately this happens often." Rogers, an Australian with Tinkoff-Saxo, clocked 4 hours, 41 minutes, 55 seconds over the 167-kilometre (104-mile) leg, which started inn Maniago.dddddddddddd Franco Pellizotti finished second, 38 seconds behind, and Bongiorno crossed third, 49 seconds back. Quintana finished 17th in the stage, 4:45 back, with Uran right behind him. Quintana was runner-up to Chris Froome in last years Tour de France and this would be his first Grand Tour victory. "This year I dont think Ill be at the Tour but next year well probably try it," Quintana said. The Movistar rider was then asked if he would consider riding both the Giro and Tour next year. "Its possible," he said. "Weve talked about it with the team manager. Well evaluate both options." Rogers, a three-time time trial champion, was recently cleared after a doping accusation and also won the 11th stage. Last month, the UCI accepted that meat Rogers ate in China probably caused his positive test last year. Clenbuterol is widely administered to Chinese livestock to build muscle and reduce fat. Days later, Rogers tested positive at the Japan Cup. The UCI disqualified Rogers from the Japanese race but consulted the World Anti-Doping Agency before deciding he should not be sanctioned any further. "The last kilometres were a dream," Rogers said. "Ive always dreamed of winning an uphill stage like this and this is the first time Ive been able to." The race ends Sunday with a mostly flat 172-kilometre (107-mile) leg from Gemona del Friuli to Trieste. ' ' '
