Bayer Leverkusen and the famous Turin club have reportedly agreed on a permanent transfer for the winger. Juventus are expected to pay €33 million upfront for the 18-year-old Bosnian international.
The transfer fee could rise to as much as 40 million euros through bonus schemes. Only the final details remain before the deal is finalized.
If Juventus can get this done, they will have repelled interest from both Chelsea FC, SSC Napoli and Atalanta Bergamo. Chelsea were previously seen as favourites to secure Alajbegović – thanks to their financial clout – but it seems that Juventus have won the race.
Now all that remains is the medical test and an official signing for Alajbegović to become a Juventus player.
