Kerim Alajbegovic Draws Khvicha Kvaratskhelia Comparisons as Serie A Transfer Race Intensifies
Young Bosnian sensation Kerim Alajbegovic has emerged as a sought-after prospect, with several Serie A clubs reportedly eyeing a summer transfer. The talented 18-year-old has drawn comparisons to former Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from Italian media, highlighting his potential impact in Italy's top flight.
Alajbegovic, a standout for the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team that recently defeated Italy in a World Cup play-off, has captured the attention of major European clubs. Serie A powerhouses Napoli, AC Milan, and AS Roma are said to be among those monitoring the youngster's progress.
Although born in Cologne, Germany, Alajbegovic has proudly represented Bosnia and Herzegovina at all youth levels and has already earned eight caps for the senior national team. He is currently on the books of RB Salzburg, but it has been confirmed that his former club, Bayer Leverkusen, will exercise their buy-back option this summer.
Despite the impending return to Leverkusen, a summer transfer to another club remains a distinct possibility. Reports suggest that AC Milan are actively working to secure a deal for Alajbegovic, facing competition from AS Roma.
Meanwhile, Napoli is reportedly very keen on acquiring the Bosnian teenager. La Gazzetta dello Sport has drawn parallels between Alajbegovic and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, citing his playing style and potential for future resale value as key factors. Napoli is understood to be aiming to finalize a deal for the 18-year-old swiftly, anticipating that strong performances at the upcoming 2026 World Cup could lead to even more competition from across Europe.
