Boga signs permanently for €4.8m
Jérémie Boga is officially a Juventus player. The club took up their option to buy the winger outright from Nice for €4.8 million on Monday, making him the first permanent signing of the summer (1). His deal runs until 2029. Giovanni Carnevali delivered one of his first moves as the incoming CEO, formalising what had been a loan arrangement that quietly worked.
Comolli out, Carnevali in after 12 months
Damien Comolli's time as Juventus CEO is over. Barely a year into the job, he has been replaced by Giovanni Carnevali, another front-office reset at a club that cannot seem to stop having them (3). The Boga deal was signed off under the new leadership. Cristiano Giuntoli remains in place as sporting director.
Zhegrova on the market, Turkish clubs lurking
Edon Zhegrova's debut season did not go to plan. Juventus are actively shopping the winger, and Trabzonspor and Besiktas have emerged as the leading suitors (2). Fabrizio Romano tempered expectations with a blunt assessment: "nothing concrete" yet (2). Zhegrova joined with some fanfare. A year later, the club just want his wages off the books.
Sørloth linked as aerial option
Juventus are looking at Atletico Madrid striker Alexander Sørloth as a potential summer target (4). The thinking: a physically imposing forward who can give the attack a different dimension. Randal Kolo Muani is still in the frame too, but the Sørloth noise suggests Juventus are keeping multiple striker options alive as the window unfolds.
Galatasaray offer Vlahovic a contract
Galatasaray have reportedly made a contract offer to Dusan Vlahovic as his Juventus deal approaches its June 2026 expiry (5). Losing a starting striker on a free would sting. The Comolli departure had briefly reopened renewal talks, but a Galatasaray bid changes the equation, and the leverage.
Fan reactions
The Boga signing split opinion online. Some fans called it smart business at €4.8 million for a winger who already knows the system; others questioned whether a player Nice were happy to let go moves the needle for a club still adrift in mid-table. The length of the deal, 2029, got as much attention as the fee. See the full discussion here.
