Kulusevski’s adventure with Juventus began in the summer of 2020, with his debut at the Allianz Stadium against Sampdoria. It was the opening day of the Serie A championship and Dejan, just twenty, opened our season with his first goal for the Bianconeri. His seventh and last goal of the 2020/21 season was the most important, the opener in the Italian Cup final against Atalanta.

This year, he got off the mark in Europe too. An important goal that decided the outcome of the Champions League fixture at Zenit St.Petersburg. He bids Juventus goodbye on the back of 74 appearances in all competitions, nine goals and 10 assists, all backed up with professionalism and perseverance.

And we thank him today, wishing him good luck for his future. Thanks, Dejan!
