Juventus adds a wonderkid to their squad this summer | OneFootball

Juventus have signed Genk wonderkid Ali Camara, and he will start his career at the club with the youth teams this season while working his way towards the senior side.

Camara has been one of the top teenagers in European football and has done well in Genk’s youth system so far, which has led several clubs to follow his progress. The winger is just 18 and has been performing well in Belgium, where Juve have scouted him for a long time.

Camara completes Juventus move

The Old Lady have now secured an agreement to add him to their squad. La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that they have agreed to pay between 1.5 and 2m euros for his signature, and he travelled to Turin yesterday to undergo his medical and complete the move.

The attacker is delighted to have moved to Juve, as he believes impressing with their Next Gen team will give him a chance to play for the senior side. That would provide him with an opportunity to represent one of the top clubs in the world.

Camara will initially focus on adapting to his new surroundings and continuing his development. Juventus believe he has the potential to progress through their system, which makes his arrival an investment in the future.

Juventus plan youth development

The Bianconeri also see investing in his signature as one of the best things they have done this summer. They will hope all goes well with his medical and that he completes the move without any issues.

Luciano Spalletti has a good first team squad, but the manager would love to hand debuts to some of the top players in the club’s youth system. The more talented players Juventus can develop there, the greater the chance of promoting some of them to the first team.

Camara now has the opportunity to establish himself within the Next Gen team before attempting to make the step up to senior football. His performances will determine how quickly he can progress, but Juventus have already shown their belief in his potential by securing his signature.

For now, the 18-year-old will concentrate on developing with the youth setup and proving that he can eventually make the transition to the senior squad. Juventus will hope their latest investment can become another successful pathway from their youth system to the first team.
