The young Bosnian international is taking on an increasingly concrete role at the Turin giants, and the number on his shirt is no longer a secret.
Bosnian football international Kerim Alajbegović will wear the number 17 shirt at Juventus, as announced on Wednesday, August 6, 2026, by renowned Italian insider Nicolo Schira on social media platform X, as reported by N1 BiH.
This news comes amid the Turin club's preseason tour, currently taking place in Australia. Juventus will play two more friendly matches during the tour, and Alajbegović is expected to get his first minutes on the pitch in these games.
The Old Lady will first face Palermo on August 8, 2026, followed by a clash against Inter Milan three days later, on August 11. These matches represent an ideal opportunity for Alajbegović to impress the coaching staff, especially after spending Juventus's recent 1-0 victory over Chelsea in Hong Kong on the sidelines.
Alajbegović's arrival in Australia has not gone unnoticed, and fans gave him a warm welcome, which has been noted in reports from the tour.
