Chelsea and Juventus bid for Alajbegovic

Entities: Kerim Alajbegovic · Bayer Leverkusen · Bosnia and Herzegovina national team · Chelsea Football Club · Juventus Football Club

Overview

Chelsea remain the frontrunner in talks with Bayer Leverkusen over 18‑year‑old Bosnian winger Kerim Alajbegovic. The London club has moved beyond an initial €30‑35 million proposal to a formal €40 million package – €30 million guaranteed with performance‑related add‑ons that could raise the total. A short‑term loan to a partner club is still being discussed to ensure regular playing time before a permanent move.

Juventus have intensified their pursuit, raising an offer after an early hesitation on a €30 million base plus bonuses and promising Alajbegovic a starting place in the next season. Napoli and other Serie A sides continue to monitor the situation.

Alajbegovic is contracted to Leverkusen until 2031 with no release clause, having been repurchased for €8 million after a buy‑back from Red Bull Salzburg. This season he has recorded 13 league goals and four assists, and his World Cup strike against Qatar has heightened his profile. Bayer Leverkusen have indicated willingness to sell as the transfer window closes, while personal terms are still being finalised.
