Italian powerhouse Juventus has sealed the £30 million acquisition of Dejan Kulusevski from Atalanta. The Swedish midfielder will be loaned out to Parma until the season concludes.

According to Mail Online Sport, the £30 million fee, which is paid in five installments, could potentially rise by €9 million (£7.6m) based on contract conditions until 2024.

 

The 19-year-old is currently on loan at Parma from Atalanta, having made 19 appearances in the current season, scoring four goals and providing seven assists. He transferred to Atalanta in 2016 from Swedish club Brommapojkarna, which will receive a percentage of the final fee from Atalanta.

 

 

Earlier this year, the 19-year-old expressed to Sportbladet: ‘I like to have the ball at my feet’ 

 

‘I used to dribble a lot when I was a kid but I have got better at moving the ball more quickly.

 

‘I have developed my defensive game, that was a weakness before, and that has made me a more complete player.’
