Juventus to activate purchase option for Nice’s Jérémie Boga

Juventus have reportedly decided to exercise the option to sign Jérémie Boga (29) on a permanent basis, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The Ivorian, whose departure from OGC Nice was hastened by an assault by Aiglons supporters late last year, is said to have convinced the Bianconeri management to keep him. In fact, they are said to have offered him a long-term contract.

Having arrived in Serie A in early February, the Marseille-born player didn’t take long to settle back into a league in which he played between 2018 and 2023, first for Sassuolo and then for Atalanta Bergamo.

Having now made 11 appearances (three as a starter) for Luciano Spalletti’s side, Boga has proved decisive on five occasions, finding the net four times and providing one assist.

Originally under contract with Nice until June 2027, the Chelsea-trained player is expected to see Juventus buy out the final year of his contract for a fee of €5 million.
