Six months after bringing in Edon Zhegrova and Jonathan David, Juventus Turin is targeting another ex-Lille player. As revealed Tuttosportthe Bianconeri have already advanced their pawns to try to attract Zeki Celik next summer, while the Turk reaches the end of his contract in 5 months. The media specifies that a first contact took place with the player, which considerably complicated negotiations with Roma for a contract extension.
The 28-year-old right-back even rejected a proposal from his managers for a new 3-year contract, with a salary of 2.8 million euros per season. Opposite, Juve has already submitted a proposal for a contract until 2029, with an optional year and a salary of €3 million per year, excluding bonus. This season, Celik played 28 matches, for 1 goal and 3 assists, and established himself as an important starter in Gasperini’s eleven.
