Boga thrilled with Alajbegović: He's unpredictable

The new season for Turin's Juventus brings new faces, and one of those attracting the most attention, especially in the region, is Kerim Alajbegović. His arrival has not gone unnoticed among his teammates, and words of praise have come from experienced forward Jeremie Boga.

Boga followed Alajbegović before his arrival

Ahead of the friendly against Palermo, scheduled for Tuesday, August 11, 2026, at 11 AM Italian time in Perth, Australia, Boga spoke to Sky about his impressions of his new teammate. He revealed that Alajbegović was not unknown to him.

"I found him to be very good. I'm someone who watches a lot of videos on YouTube, so I already knew him," Boga said, as reported by Goal.com.

"Unpredictable, does things others can't"

Boga did not hide his enthusiasm for the type of player Alajbegović is, highlighting exactly what makes him special. "I've already seen some of his skills. I really like this type of player because, as we say, he's unpredictable, does things others can't. I think that's a quality we needed," added the Juventus forward.

Interestingly, Boga and Alajbegović share the same position on the pitch — both are left-wingers. However, instead of viewing the newcomer as a threat, Boga sincerely welcomed the arrival of a player who will increase competition on that side of the attack. Alajbegović is still adapting to his new environment after his transfer from Bayer Leverkusen, but he has already made a strong impression in his first training sessions. He made his debut on Saturday in a friendly against Inter, playing the second half and immediately showing that he will be a serious attacking threat to defenses across Italy.

These statements further raise interest in the young player, whose name resonates among Croatian fans, who will follow his development with special attention at one of Italy's biggest clubs.
