Juventus open talks with Bournemouth defender Kelly – report | OneFootball

Juventus have reportedly opened talks with Bournemouth centre-back Lloyd Kelly over a possible free transfer in the summer.

Calciomercato.com reports the Serie A giants have opened talks with English defender Kelly over a possible free transfer at the end of the season.

Kelly’s contract expires in June, and according to the report, he is unwilling to sign a new deal with the Premier League side.

Journalist Daniele Longo reports Kelly is tempted to join Juventus on a free transfer in the summer despite interest from other Serie A clubs, including Milan.

The 25-year-old has made 16 appearances across all competitions with Bournemouth this season, scoring one goal. Kelly can play as a centre-back or as a left-back and his versatility is one of the reasons why Juventus are considering signing him for free in June.

The Serie A giants signed Tiago Djalo from Lille in the January transfer window, but the Portugal international has yet to make his debut with the Bianconeri as he’s been recovering from a knee injury he suffered in March 2023.
