Juventus sign young Bosnian winger Alajbegovic
Juventus has signed young Bosnian winger Kerim Alajbegovic from Bayer Leverkusen for a fee of 30 million euros, the Serie A club announced on Sunday. The 18-year-old Alajbegovic, who spent last season at RB Salzburg, has inked a five-year deal with Juventus. During his time at Salzburg, the teenager scored 13 goals in 44 appearances across all competitions.
Alajbegovic demonstrated his clutch form, netting the decisive goal in Bosnia's penalty shootout victories over Wales and Italy during the World Cup playoffs. He also opened the scoring in the 3-1 win against Qatar, securing a spot in the knockout stages for the first time. Unfortunately, Bosnia lost to the United States 2-0 in the subsequent round.
Born in Germany, Alajbegovic moved to Salzburg from Leverkusen's youth academy in 2021, before Bayer Leverkusen re-signed him on a five-year contract.
