Agent Dashes Juventus Talk: Zeki Celik Remains Loyal to Roma Amid Transfer Rumors

Zeki Celik's Agent Ends Juventus Talk: Roma's Defender Staying Put?

The Turkish defender Zeki Celik's agent, Fadil Ozdemir, has quashed reports of a Juventus move, stating there has been no agreement and no deal in motion.

He noted Celik has been a regular for Roma this season and that the focus remains with the Giallorossi as the campaign unfolds under coach Gian Piero Gasperini, who has trusted him this term.

Roma's contract with Celik runs until the end of the season, and the player's entourage emphasized that only professional matters will be handled; departure plans have not been set.

Italian outlets La Gazzetta dello Sport and Corriere dello Sport reported that Celik has asked for around €4 million per year to extend, a figure reflecting his value but not a formal offer at this stage.

So far this season, Celik has appeared 31 times across competitions, contributing one goal and four assists, proving to be a key contributor for Roma's defense.

With ongoing interest from clubs in Italy and England, Celik's future will likely depend on Roma's stance and his performances down the stretch.

And now, a couple of light jokes to wrap things up: 1) If transfer rumors paid salaries, Celik would be a billionaire—unfortunately, they pay only in noise. 2) The transfer window is the only window where everything moves except the players.
