Celik’s renewal in standby: Juventus approach the player | OneFootball

In the Trigoria offices, Frederic Massara is busy on multiple fronts.

In addition to the transfer market to strengthen Gian Piero Gasperini’s squad, Roma are also considering squad renewals.

Among the most sensitive issues is that of Zeki Celik, still far from being finalized.

The Turkish full-back’s contract expires on June 30, 2026, but an agreement has not yet been reached with his entourage.

According to TuttoMercatoWeb.com, the sticking point concerns his financial demands: the agent is seeking a salary increase of up to €3 million net, compared to the current €2 million.

The distance between the parties thus risks opening up unexpected transfer scenarios. In the absence of an agreement, the possibility of a free transfer next summer is gaining traction.

This prospect is starting to attract the attention of several clubs, ready to move ahead.

Among these is Juventus, which has inquired about the 1997-born player ahead of next season.

Celik is appreciated for his versatility, being able to operate as a central defender, full-back, or winger. However, the interest isn’t limited to the Bianconeri.
