Juventus monitoring AZ teenager Kovács, no bid yet
The situation
Juventus are keeping tabs on Bendegúz Kovács, the 19-year-old Hungary attacker who joined AZ Alkmaar from Jong AZ for an undisclosed fee on 27 July 2026. The reports describe watching, nothing more. Juventus considered a move last summer, then his contract extension to 30 June 2029 upset those plans, and the current claim is that they will keep monitoring before deciding whether to return. No bid has been made, no talks have opened, and no figure has been attached to him.
The reporting
The sourcing is slight. Transfer News Live relayed Ekrem Konur on 5 November, and Calciomercato.it was carrying it by 5 November, passing on a Tuttosport piece that has Juventus intending a formal approach. Both repeat earlier reports rather than add fresh detail, so this is effectively one voice. No trusted reporter has backed it; every outlet carrying it is a tabloid or an aggregator.
The outlook
The chance is slim. For anything to happen in the January 2027 window, which opens on 1 January and closes on 1 February, Juventus would need to turn interest into an actual approach, and AZ would need to entertain selling a teenager they signed only months ago, with 30 months still on his deal. Right now there is monitoring and little else.
What happens next
What would move this on is concrete: an opening bid from Juventus, or Massara and Ottolini making the formal approach Tuttosport describes. Until a figure is tabled, this stays a watching brief.
