Chelsea are reportedly monitoring Kerim Alajbegovic for a potential future approach, despite the 19-year-old winger completing a permanent move to Juventus earlier this summer. According to reports in Gazzetta dello Sport, the Premier League side could re-evaluate their interest in the Bosnia and Herzegovina international next summer, provided he maintains the form he has shown since arriving in Serie A.
Alajbegovic, a wide attacker who can operate on both flanks, officially joined Juventus from Bayer Leverkusen on 2 August 2026. He signed a five-year contract with the Turin club, committing him to the Bianconeri until 30 June 2031. While official figures were not released by the club, reporting in the UK suggests the deal was worth approximately €32 million. His transition to Italian football has been positive, with the teenager already contributing to his new side's European campaign, including a goal in their recent Europa League victory over NEC Nijmegen.
European Transfer Market Context
In other market developments, Barcelona have been linked with a potential move for Joao Felix, though a reunion appears unlikely. Reports in SPORT indicate that the 26-year-old Portugal international, who has less than a year remaining on his contract at Al-Nassr, would be interested in returning to Camp Nou. However, Barcelona's hierarchy currently considers their attacking options sufficient following the summer arrivals of Anthony Gordon and Gabriel Jesus.
Meanwhile, Manchester City defender Josko Gvardiol remains focused on his responsibilities at the Etihad Stadium despite external interest. According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona explored a potential move for the 24-year-old Croatia international during the summer transfer window, but the player had no intention of departing the club, with whom he signed a five-year contract in July. Separately, Gazzetta dello Sport has claimed that Juventus are scouting Sunderland striker Brian Brobbey, marking the 24-year-old as a potential target for the end of the current season.
