Juventus agree immediate deal for Adin Licina
Juventus have agreed a deal to sign Adin Licina from FC Bayern Munich with immediate effect. The agreement includes a 30% sell-on clause in Bayern’s favour and a long-term contract for the teenager, with paperwork now moving toward completion.
Who is Adin Licina?
Licina is a left-footed winger who typically operates on the right to come inside, and he can also be used as an attacking midfielder. He developed in Bayern’s academy and has been part of the club’s reserve setup, building experience against senior opposition at the development level.
The move comes at a key point in his pathway: strong enough to draw interest from elite clubs, but still in the phase where minutes, role clarity and a clear progression plan matter more than status.
Why Bayern insisted on a 30% sell-on clause
The sell-on clause signals Bayern still see long-term upside in Licina even as he leaves now. With his development stage and market value still rising, Bayern’s protection is a common “future value” mechanism: if Ličina breaks through at Juventus and earns a major transfer later, Bayern share in the upside.
Agency angle: Leaderbrock and the Kenan Yıldız blueprint
Licina is represented by Leaderbrock Sports Group. The move is notable because it follows a familiar Juventus recruiting path: the same agency was involved in the deal that took Kenan Yıldız from Bayern to Juventus in 2022, and the parallels are obvious – a top academy talent leaving Munich for Turin to accelerate a first-team pathway.
Leaderbrock’s client list showcases the agency’s reach at the elite end of the market, with high-profile names such as Pedri and Ferran Torres.
The expectation is that Licina will be integrated through Juventus Next Gen while training in the broader first-team environment, a model Juventus often use to fast-track elite prospects into senior football without rushing minutes.
If he adapts quickly to the tactical demands and physical intensity, Juventus will have secured a high-upside winger with room to grow – and Bayern will be watching closely, backed by that 30% sell-on safety net.
Licina's highlights are below, he is a top talent and Juventus have a gem.
