Overview
- The transfer was officially announced on Sunday with Alajbegović signing a five-year contract running to 30 June 2031.
- Reports from multiple outlets say Juventus will pay a guaranteed fee above €30 million with performance add-ons that could push the total toward €40 million.
- Alajbegović arrived in Turin for medical checks before the announcement and is expected to play as a trequartista in Luciano Spalletti’s attack.
- Bayer Leverkusen had triggered a buy-back this summer after his breakout season at RB Salzburg, but the 18-year-old leaves Leverkusen without a senior competitive appearance for them.
- Former Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanić accompanied and guided the player to Turin, a personal link that helped Juventus win the competition for his signature and secure a promised first-team role.
