Jeff Ekhator, a 19-year-old Italian-Nigerian striker who joined Juventus from Genoa in the summer, could be sent on a temporary transfer in January. The striker, born in 2006, has not yet made his official debut for Juventus due to a series of muscular problems.
The Juventus management wants to provide him with an opportunity to play before making a decision on his future. The club intends to assess his performances after his return from injury following the November break. A loan move could be an option if his performances are not convincing. A return to his former club Genoa is one of the hypothesized destinations, and Parma is also observing the situation. Ekhator, who has one cap for Italy, has a contract with Juventus until June 2031. His current market value is €18.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
