Alajbegovic: Playing for Juventus is an Honour
Kerim Alajbegović has voiced his immense pride upon completing his transfer to Juventus from Bayer Leverkusen, describing the opportunity to wear the iconic black and white colours as a "great honour."
In his inaugural interview as a Juventus player, shared through the club's official channels and reported by TuttoMercatoWeb, the 18-year-old shared his initial impressions of Turin.
"Experiencing the Allianz Stadium yesterday filled me with incredible emotions," the Bosnia international stated. "I am incredibly proud and it's a huge honour to represent this club. I'm eager to begin and will give my absolute best."
When asked to characterize his playing style, Alajbegović highlighted his offensive tendencies, stating, "I'm a player who enjoys having the ball. I like to shoot, dribble, create scoring opportunities, and make passes, always aiming to contribute my full strength to the attack and play forward."
Alajbegović Ready for Serie A Challenge with Juventus
The young talent has already faced Italian opposition, notably converting a penalty in Bosnia's shootout victory over Italy in March, a result that ultimately excluded the Azzurri from the 2026 World Cup. He drew upon this experience when considering the upcoming challenges.
"The game against Italy was tough, though we ultimately won," he recalled. "They played very well, and it was a challenging match. I feel prepared for Serie A and the demands of Italian football. The chance to play for the premier team in Italy is a source of great pride, and I understand the need for continuous hard work to improve."
Alajbegović is keen to integrate quickly, expressing his desire to "adapt rapidly and immediately showcase my abilities." He concluded with a motivational message to his younger self: "Believe in yourself, because you can achieve so much."
