Juventus eye Bayer Leverkusen winger Ernest Poku in summer transfer move

Juventus are looking ahead to the future and have set their sights on exciting Dutch-Ghanaian winger Ernest Poku as a potential summer signing.

The winger, currently at Bayer Leverkusen, has emerged as one of the standout young wide players in the Bundesliga.

Poku came through AZ Alkmaar’s respected academy before earning a move to Leverkusen in August 2025 for around €12 million including bonuses. A quick and direct winger, he thrives in one-on-one situations and has adapted rapidly to German football, also featuring regularly for the Netherlands at youth level up to the U21s.

This season, Poku has made 20 league appearances, scoring 5 goals and providing 4 assists, underlining both his productivity and potential.

Juventus are closely tracking his development and could move for him in the next transfer window as they look to rejuvenate their attacking options.

However, Leverkusen are in a strong negotiating position: Poku’s market value has already doubled in a year, and the German club are expected to reject any bids below €25–30 million.
