Juventus have reportedly snapped up the services of Esad Deniz, a 16-year-old wonderkid who has been developing his talent at Ajax.
The teenager was born in Enschede, Netherlands, but has Turkish origins. He began his young career at the academy of FC Berghuizen Jeugd, and then had a spell at Go Ahead Eagles, before joining Ajax’s youth ranks in the summer of 2024.
The youngster primarily plays as a centre-forward, but he’s also capable of featuring on either wing when required.
According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Juventus have reached an agreement to sign Deniz from Ajax. The young talent will fly to Italy to finalise his transfer to the Turin-based club in the coming hours.
“Exclusive: Juventus agree deal to sign 16-year-old talent Esad Deniz from Ajax, all done,” posted the transfer market expert on his official X account on Thursday.
“Travel to Italy today, medical tomorrow and new talent for Juve project. The contract will be valid until June 2028. Here we go.”
