Juventus lands Manchester City prodigy to fuel their youth push
1 February 2026
Transfer agreement reached
Juventus has reached a final agreement to sign the young talent Justin Obafowodo from Manchester City's academy, according to reports.
Details of the move
In this regard, Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano announced on Sunday that the 2006-born player will join the Bianconeri as part of the club's under-23 project, after completing the signing of Aden Lechina from Bayern Munich, as a new step to strengthen the club's policy of investing in youth.
The England Under-19 international player had announced on Saturday that his time at Manchester City has ended... I am very grateful for the experiences I've had, which I will treasure for life... I wish all players and staff the best for the future.
Obafowodo is known for his ability to play multiple forward positions, whether as a number 10, a winger, or a central striker.
Punchline 1: If he can cover more roles than a Swiss Army knife, Juventus might never run out of options—or excuses for not lifting the trophy.
Punchline 2: They say youth development is a sprint; Juventus just bought a teenager who can sprint in five directions at once.
