Italian heavyweights Juventus are weighing up a move to sign Ivorian winger Jeremie Boga on a permanent deal following his encouraging performances since arriving on loan earlier in the year.
The 29-year-old joined the Bianconeri during the January transfer window from French club OGC Nice, marking his third spell in Serie A, following previous stints with Sassuolo and Atalanta, as Juventus looked to boost their push for Champions League qualification.

Boga’s exit from Nice came under difficult circumstances. He was among the players targeted by angry ultras after a disappointing league defeat late last year, which reportedly led to him refusing to feature for the club again before sealing his move to Turin.
Since arriving at Juventus, Boga has shown flashes of the talent that once made him one of the most sought-after wingers in Europe. He has contributed four goals and one assist in nine Serie A appearances, despite only starting three times, and has made a case for a longer stay at the club.
This has convinced the Italian heavyweights to explore a permanent transfer, especially as the club plans a squad rebuild ahead of next season in a bid to compete strongly in Europe and mount a serious Serie A title challenge.
How much will Jeremie Boga cost Juventus
According to Transfermarkt, Boga is currently valued at around €8 million. However, Juventus may be able to secure him for less, as the loan deal that brought him to the club in the winter transfer window reportedly includes an option to buy for approximately €5 million.
The fee looks very reasonable given the winger’s early impact at the club and also his uncertain future at Nice.
Personal terms still need to be agreed for a longer stay, they are not expected to be a major hurdle, with the player open to staying, although he could seek assurances over regular playing time before committing to a permanent move.
