David Puczka Completes Permanent Transfer from Juventus to Genoa – Full Deal Details and Transfer Analysis
David Puczka has officially completed a permanent move from Juventus to Genoa, marking the next step in the promising Austrian defender’s career. The transfer was confirmed on 2 July 2026, with Genoa securing the versatile 21-year-old on a long-term deal.
Puczka leaves Juventus after spending two seasons with the club’s Next Gen side, where he developed into one of the team’s standout performers. During his time in Turin, he made 54 appearances and scored 10 goals, impressive numbers for a player capable of playing as a left-back, wing-back, midfielder, or winger.
The financial details of the deal reveal that Genoa will pay €6 million, with the fee to be paid over three financial years. Juventus confirmed the sale will generate a positive financial impact of approximately €5.4 million, after accounting for related costs.
The transfer is also linked to the wider business between the two Serie A clubs, as Juventus completed the signing of young striker Jeff Ekhator from Genoa. Puczka’s move formed part of the broader negotiations between the clubs during this summer transfer window.
For Genoa, the signing represents an investment in youth and versatility. Puczka is known for his attacking runs, strong left foot, and ability to play in multiple positions down the left side. The club believes he has the potential to establish himself in Serie A after impressing with Juventus Next Gen.
Juventus, meanwhile, thanked the Polish-Austrian youngster for his professionalism and contribution during his spell with the club, wishing him success for the future.
The move offers Puczka his biggest opportunity yet to prove himself at senior Serie A level. Regular first-team football at Genoa could accelerate his development and strengthen his chances of becoming a regular for the Austrian national team in the coming years.
