Like Kenan Yildiz, the 19-year-old arrived at the Bavarian club’s academy at an early age and gradually progressed through all the youth selections.
Ličina has been a member of Bayern’s second team since 2024, but has never made an appearance for the first team, although he has trained on several occasions with the team led by Vincent Kompany.
Juventus signed Adin Licina until 2029
The young German had a contract that was expiring, which Juventus took advantage of and secured his services on a permanent basis.
The Turin club confirmed the transfer with an official statement published on the club’s official website.
“Adin Ličina is officially a new player of the Juventus Next Gen team: the midfielder born in 2007 has signed a contract until June 30, 2029,” the announcement states.
“Born in Munich, Ličina comes from Bayern, where he spent his entire youth career, growing into one of the most interesting talents on the European youth scene.
“In the first part of the season, he made 20 appearances for the German team in domestic competitions and the Youth Champions League, scored two goals and registered six assists, showing both his realization skills and the ability to play with his teammates.
“Welcome to Juventus, Adin!”
Adin Ličina arrives at Juventus Next Gen
Ličina thus became the second reinforcement of Juventus in January, after Jeremie Boga, whose arrival was confirmed on Sunday evening.
While the 29-year-old representative of the Ivory Coast will have the role of an alternative to Kenan Yildiz, the young Ličina will start his career in Turin in the Juventus Next Gen team under the leadership of Massimo Brambilla, where he will have the opportunity to prove himself against professional footballers in the Italian Serie C.
Ličina is a left-footed attacker who most often plays as an inverted right winger. He performed for the younger selections of Germany, but he has the right to perform for Bosnia and Herzegovina at the international level.
Juventus is expected to officially confirm several more arrivals on Monday, including Bologna right back Emil Holm and Manchester City’s young footballer Justin Oboavwoduo.
