Report: Interest from Turkey in Juventus outcast Milik | OneFootball

Turkish Super Lig side Samsunspor have made an enquiry to Juventus about Polish forward Arkadiusz Milik, reports from Italy claim.

According to Sport Mediaset transfer journalist Orazio Accomando on X, the Turkish club have requested information on the 31-year-old forward, whose role at the Bianconeri appears limited with the club signing Lois Openda and Jonathan David this summer.

After a year without football, Milik could finally leave Juventus

Earlier this year, Juventus handed the Polish forward a contract extension, in order to allow the club to better split the player’s wage amongst the remainder of his contract, allowing the Bianconeri to more easily balance their books.

Milik, however, has not played a match for Juventus since 2024. After undergoing surgery in June 2024, the former Napoli striker suffered a muscular injury that kept him out for the entire 2024-25 season.

The Bianconeri hoped gifting the forward a new contract, on a lower wage, would better help the club offload the player this summer. Now, clubs are starting to queue up and with two weeks left of the transfer window in Turkey, Milik could still depart Turin.
