Juventus has pulled the trigger on a €5 million purchase option to sign Jérémie Boga permanently from OGC Nice, converting what began as a winter loan into a long-term commitment. The Ivorian attacking midfielder will reportedly sign a contract through 2029, cementing his future in Turin for at least three more seasons.
How the deal came together
Boga arrived at Juventus on loan from Nice on February 1, 2026, with the temporary arrangement set to run through June 30. Crucially, the loan included a buy clause, giving Juventus the option, not the obligation, to make the move permanent at a pre-agreed price.
That price has been pegged at €5 million, though some reports have cited a figure closer to €4.8 million. Either way, the fee represents a fraction of what Nice originally invested in the player, and it’s a number Juventus clearly found acceptable after watching Boga perform over the second half of the season.
Nice’s leverage in negotiations was limited by one key detail: their original contract with Boga runs only through June 2027. That means Juventus was essentially buying out a player with just one year left on his deal, the kind of contractual situation that consistently drives down transfer fees across European football.
