Juventus have officially confirmed that the obligation to buy clause in Lloyd Kelly’s loan agreement from Newcastle United has been activated.

The total fee for the permanent transfer is €17.5 million, with potential add-ons to be included.
Kelly initially joined the Bianconeri on loan in January 2025, and the agreement included a mandatory purchase clause that has now been triggered.
This confirms that the defender’s future lies firmly in Turin, with no possibility of a return to St. James’ Park.
This move finalizes what was always intended to be a permanent transfer for the 26-year-old defender.
Kelly has made a positive impression during his time with Juventus, and the club have now secured his services on a long-term basis.
