Juventus In Talks For Roma Defender

 Reports say Juventus have been in contact over a possible move for a defender from AS Roma — most notably Turkish full-back Zeki Çelik.

🇮🇹 Juventus interested in Zeki Çelik

Juventus have reportedly made initial enquiries about signing Çelik. 

The club sees him as a valuable option to strengthen the wide defensive areas. 

His contract situation is important — Juventus are monitoring it closely, especially with the possibility of signing him as a free agent if renewal talks with Roma stall. 

Roma are still optimistic about keeping him, so nothing is agreed yet. 

🔎 Why Juventus want a Roma defender

Juventus are targeting players whose contracts are running down to keep spending under control. 

Reinforcements in wide defence are seen as a priority for squad depth. 

🧾 What this means now

Talks are early-stage interest, not a completed transfer.

The move could depend heavily on whether Roma extend the player’s contract.

If negotiations between Roma and the defender slow down, Juventus may try to step in.
