According to Nicolò Schira, Juventus and Genoa are in advanced negotiations for the signing of Jeff Ekhator, with a preliminary agreement for a contract until 2031.
Juventus is one step away from finalizing the signing of 19-year-old striker Jeff Ekhator from Genoa, as reported by Nicolò Schira. The Bianconeri have reached a preliminary agreement with the player for a contract until 2031, valued at €1.3 million per year.
Ekhator, of Italian nationality, plays as a centre-forward and currently has a market value of €18 million. His contract with Genoa runs until June 30, 2029, making this move significant for both clubs.
Juventus has increased its offer to €18 million, including bonuses, and is working to finalize the deal with Genoa. Matteo Moretto and Fabrizio Romano have also confirmed that Ekhator is on his way to Turin for medical tests, indicating that the agreement is very close to being sealed.
With Ekhator's signing, Juventus not only adds a young talent to their squad but also seeks to strengthen their attack for the season. The operation could close in the coming hours, according to the latest reports.
