Juventus has signed striker Arkadiusz Milik from Ligue 1 side Marseille on a one-year loan, the club announced on Friday. The club will be expected to pay a €2 million loan fee for the Polish striker and will receive the option to sign him on a permanent basis at the end of the loan for €7 million plus add-ons, payable over a three-year period.
Since joining Marseille in January 2021 on an 18-month loan with an obligation to join permanently, Milik has scored 30 goals for the French side in 55 appearances, thereby grabbing the attention of Juventus who will be looking to reinforce its attack as it navigates the injuries of fellow forwards Federico Chiesa, Kaio Jorge, and Marley Ake.
“Milik is a striker, who, in addition to having extraordinary physical strength, is skilled in aerial play and is above all very dangerous in the penalty area,” the club announced in an official public statement following Milik’s transfer confirmation.
This marks Milik’s return to Serie A, where he previously made over 120 appearances for Napoli, scoring almost 60 goals for the club. At 28 years of age, Milik has also earned 62 international caps for the Polish national team, scoring 16 goals in the process.
