Juventus signs Bosnian talent Kerim Alajbegović

Teenage Bosnian playmaker Kerim Alajbegović has joined Juventus from Bayer Leverkusen in a deal reported to be worth approximately €30 million to €35 million, including bonuses. Former Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanić praised the 18-year-old's maturity and shooting ability, noting that Alajbegović's potential draws comparisons to Paulo Dybala.

Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti recently oversaw Alajbegović's debut in a pre-season friendly against Inter. While Spalletti expressed satisfaction with the player's quality, he noted that the new signings, including Randal Kolo Muani, still need to reach full match fitness after only being with the squad for a few days. Spalletti emphasized the need to find the right tactical balance within the team as they prepare for the upcoming campaign.
