A Juventus will have a reinforcement of an old acquaintance for the next season. The Italians closed the signing of striker Arkadiusz Milik, who belonged to Olympique de Marseille and was loaned to the team in the last year.
According to the journalist specialized in transfers Fabrizio Romano, the Turin team paid 6 million euros (about R$ 31.4 million at the current exchange rate) to be able to count definitively on the Pole. The loan already included a buyout clause, which was exercised by Juventus.

Milik signed with the club for three years, until June 2026. His stay could be linked with a possible departure of center forward Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbian is highly rated on the market and could leave the team to compete in the Champions League with another club.
Last season, Juventus ended up suffering a punishment and had 10 points withdrawn due to accounting fraud. This made the team leave the first places and finish the Italian Championship in seventh place, qualifying only for the Conference League.
On the other hand, Milik stood out when he was on the field. Despite being a substitute, the 29-year-old player scored nine times and gave a goal pass in the 41 matches he played in the “Old Lady” shirt.
