Juventus have been stunned by Felipe Anderson's announcement he is joining Palmeiras.

It's been confirmed Anderson will move to Palmeiras when he comes off contract at Lazio in June.

However, Juve were expecting the Brazil midfielder to sign for them, as Tuttosport's Guido Vaciago says: "A tweet that caught not only Juventus off guard, but also many information operators, who until a few minutes earlier had reasonable certainty that Felipe Anderson had accepted the Juventus offer.

"(But) also because we were unaware of the family reasons that could weigh in favour of the alternative solution."
