Juventus Acquires Newcastle Defender Lloyd Kelly on Loan with Obligation to Buy

The 26-year-old defender joins Juventus after limited playing time at Newcastle, with a permanent transfer likely at the end of the season.

Juventus has signed Lloyd Kelly from Newcastle United on a loan deal until the end of the season, with a high likelihood of a permanent transfer for €17.5 million.
The loan agreement includes a €3 million fee and an obligation to buy for €14.5 million if achievable conditions are met.
Kelly, a versatile defender who can play as a center-back or left-back, is known for his aerial strength, tactical awareness, and adaptability to various formations.
He joined Newcastle as a free agent in June 2024 but struggled for regular playing time, making only four starts in the Premier League this season.
Kelly's signing bolsters Juventus' defense, which has been impacted by injuries and departures, as the club aims to strengthen its Serie A campaign.
