“It’s been a wonderful few years here,” he told the Bianconeri’s official website.
“My thanks go to all involved with the club, particularly Giuseppe Marotta and Fabio Paratici for the faith they have shown in me since day one.
“I will look back on my time at Juventus with great pleasure.”
The Mirror adds Ribalta’s first job in Manchester will be to push through a deal for Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata, whom he helped bring to Juve three years ago.
