  • Juventus has signed Bosnian teenager Kerim Alajbegovic from Bayer Leverkusen and reacquired French striker Randal Kolo Muani from PSG.
  • Alajbegovic, 18, joins on a five-year deal after a strong performance in the World Cup and a breakout season with Red Bull Salzburg.
  • Kolo Muani returns to Juventus for a second spell after a less impactful period at Tottenham and PSG.

Juventus has bolstered its squad with the permanent signings of promising teenager Kerim Alajbegovic and the return of French striker Randal Kolo Muani.

Alajbegovic, an 18-year-old Bosnian talent, arrives from Bayer Leverkusen on a five-year contract. He impressed during the summer's World Cup, featuring in all four of Bosnia and Herzegovina's matches, and had a breakout season with Red Bull Salzburg. Leverkusen had previously activated a buy-back clause before agreeing to the winger's transfer to Juventus.

Kolo Muani makes a return to Turin for a second stint with the club, having previously had a successful loan spell during the second half of the 2024-25 season. His move to Juventus is a permanent one from Paris Saint-Germain. However, Kolo Muani struggled to make a significant impact at Tottenham last season, scoring only five goals in 41 appearances as the club narrowly avoided relegation from the Premier League. His transfer to PSG in 2023 for a reported 75 million euros plus bonuses also did not yield the expected returns, with 11 goals in 54 games.
