Sassuolo Lands Adzic on Loan with Juventus Retaining Buy-Back Option

FolioPitch.com – 04 August 2026 | Italian Serie A club Sassuolo has made a significant move in the transfer market by signing Vasilije Adzic on loan from Juventus, but the Bianconeri retain a buy-back option. The young Montenegrin midfielder has joined the Neroverdi on a season-long loan deal, with the option to make the move permanent for a fee of €12 million, payable over four instalments.

According to official statements, Sassuolo paid an initial fee of €0.5 million to secure Adzic’s services for the 2026-27 campaign. However, Juventus retains a buy-back clause that can be activated for €1.7 million at the end of the current season. This move is seen as a shrewd acquisition by Sassuolo, who are likely to benefit from Adzic’s youthful energy and talent.

Adzic, who turned 20 in May, joined Juventus from Buducnost Podgorica in the summer of 2024 for a reported fee of €7.2 million plus add-ons. During his time with the Bianconeri, Adzic made 26 appearances for the senior squad, scoring one goal, and also impressed with four goals and two assists in 10 games for the Next Gen side.

While Adzic’s loan move to Sassuolo may come as a surprise to some, it is a testament to the club’s ability to attract top young talent. As the loan deal progresses, Adzic will look to make a name for himself in the Serie A, and potentially become a key player for Sassuolo in the long term.

The financial details of the transfer have been made public, with Juventus presenting precise details of the agreement, as required by their stock exchange listing. This transparency is a hallmark of the Bianconeri’s approach to transfer business, and it will be interesting to see how Adzic’s loan spell unfolds.
