  "account": "Juventus have secured the signature of 18-year-old Bosnian winger Kerim Alajbegovic from Bayer Leverkusen, with the Serie A club revealing the news on Sunday. The youngster, who notably assisted Bosnia and Herzegovina in their World Cup playoff victories against Wales, Italy, and Qatar, will join the Italian side in a deal valued at 30 million euros (US$34.6 million). Alajbegovic, who previously played for RB Salzburg, has committed to Juve with a five-year contract. Despite spending last season at Salzburg, where he scored 13 goals in 44 appearances across all competitions, the talented forward was re-signed by Leverkusen on a five-year deal earlier this year. Born in Germany, Alajbegovic's journey to Juventus began when he moved from Leverkusen to Salzburg in 2021, as part of the youth academy system.",
