Kerim Alajbegović competes for Juventus starting role

Juventus midfielder Kerim Alajbegović is facing competition for a starting role ahead of the upcoming match against Parma. Following the absence of Kenan Yildiz, Alajbegović is being considered alongside Jeremie Boga for a position in the attacking lineup. While Boga offers Serie A experience, the 19-year-old Bosnian international is viewed by some as a slight favorite for a starting spot.

Coach Luciano Spalletti has addressed the young player's development, noting that while Alajbegović possesses high quality, the club must manage his excitement and maturity. This has led to some scrutiny from fans regarding his playing time.

Additionally, Juventus has confirmed its opponents for the Europa League league phase. Alajbegović is expected to face his first major European challenges against clubs including Real Sociedad, Rennes, and Celta Vigo. Sporting director Giorgio Chiellini noted that the club avoided the most difficult away fixtures and aims to progress deep into the tournament.
