Juventus signed Bosnian teenager Kerim Alajbegovic on a five-year deal from Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday and brought back French striker Randal Kolo Muani for a second spell at the club.

The 18-year-old Alajbegovic played in all four of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s matches at this summer’s World Cup, after a breakout season with Red Bull Salzburg.

Leverkusen activated a buy-back clause in the deal with Salzburg before agreeing to sell the winger to Juventus.

Juventus also completed a permanent move for Paris Saint-Germain forward Kolo Muani, who had a successful loan spell in Turin during the second half of the 2024-25 season.

However, he struggled to make an impact at Tottenham last term, scoring just five goals in 41 appearances as the club narrowly avoided relegation from the Premier League.

Kolo Muani joined European champions PSG in 2023 for a reported 75 million euros plus bonuses but failed to justify the fee, with a return of 11 goals in 54 games.
