Juventus signed Newcastle defender Lloyd Kelly on a loan deal with potential performance-related clauses, making the transfer more impactful than Chelsea's Renato Veiga. As of now, Kelly’s performance has raised concerns about his permanence at Juventus beyond the 2024-25 season. Recently, reports indicate that a key clause concerning his appearances triggered a €14.5 million obligation to buy, alongside the €3 million loan fee. Kelly has already made 13 appearances since joining, feeding into the looming decision about his future with the club.
According to a report from Tuttosport on Wednesday, one of the two potential obligation to buy scenarios worked into Kelly's original loan deal with Newcastle has kicked in.
For reference sake, let's go back to the official press release Juventus sent out after they finalized the Kelly deal. As you will notice, 'certain sporting objective' is not exactly defined.
