Zeki Celik joins Juventus after agreement with AS Roma
According to Fabrizio Romano, Zeki Celik has reached an agreement to join Juventus following discussions with AS Roma. The Turkish defender will sign a three-year contract.
Right-back Zeki Celik, 29 years old and of Turkish nationality, is at the center of negotiations that would take him to Juventus. Romano reports that a preliminary agreement has been reached and the player will join the Italian club from AS Roma, where he did not renew his contract.
Celik, whose market value is €14 million, was without a club after finishing his contract with AS Roma. Both Alfredo Pedullà and Gianluca Di Marzio confirmed that the player will sign a three-year deal with Juventus, and he was offered a more attractive salary than he had in Rome.
This move is significant for Juventus, which seeks to strengthen its defense with an experienced player. The operation is seen as a triumph for the club, as Celik is a right-back with good credentials and the potential to be a starter.
Meanwhile, Nicolò Schira adds that Celik had previously agreed personal terms with Roma, but Juventus's higher offer tipped the balance in favor of the Turin club. Official confirmation of the transfer is expected soon.
