Pjanić Instrumental in Alajbegović's Juventus Transfer

August 3, 2026Марат Зиганшин1 мин

Miralem Pjanić, the former Juventus midfielder, has reportedly been instrumental in securing the signing of young talent Kerim Alajbegović for the Turin club. Pjanić, who transitioned into agency work after retiring in late 2025, accompanied the 18-year-old Alajbegović to Turin and was present for the completion of the transfer.

As a close confidant of Alajbegović's father, Pjanić is understood to have significantly influenced the young Bosnian international's decision to join Juventus. Speaking about the move, Pjanić expressed his happiness for the family and conveyed his hopes for Alajbegović's future success at the club, stating, "we hope Kerim will do great things."

Pjanić's involvement provided Juventus with a valuable advantage in a competitive transfer market. While his connections were previously rumored to be a potential asset for Roma, another of his former clubs, Juventus ultimately secured the signing. Alajbegović joins the Bianconeri from Bayer Leverkusen for a reported €30 million, with an additional €5 million in bonuses, fending off interest from clubs like Chelsea and Atalanta. The promising attacker has signed a contract with Juventus that extends until 2031.
