The transfer fee is reported to be in the region of 5.5 million euros with the contract running until June 2016.
“I can’t wait to start my first training session today,” Elia said on his Twitter account after joining up with his new team in north west Germany on Tuesday.
Elia, 25, returns to the Bundesliga after previously playing with Hamburg from 2009 until transferring to Juventus in November 2011 for nine million euros.
In Turin, the 26-times capped midfielder played just four Serie A matches and one Italian Cup tie.
Elia becomes Werder’s fifth recruit for the new season after German striker Nils Petersen, Congolese-German defender Assani Lukimya, Czech defender Theodor Gebre Selassie and German goalkeeper Raphael Wolf.
