Kelly joined the Bianconeri on loan with an obligation to buy in the winter transfer window. As journalist Cristiano Corbo reported on Tuttosport and Calciomercato.com, the 26-year-old has already made the minimum number of appearances required to move to Juventus permanently.
In fact, his permanence in Turin was not tied to Juventus' Champions League qualification, which remains in doubt, but to his number of appearances with the Serie A giants.
Kelly has already made 13 appearances since joining Juventus at the start of 2025.
Juventus paid €3m for Kelly's loan, and their obligation to buy was set at €14.5m plus €2.7m, which can further increase to €6.5m depending on the accomplishment of sporting targets.

Kelly has recently suffered a muscle injury and is not expected to be available for the upcoming Lazio fixture after missing the previous away game at Bologna.
'We had prepared differently to most other matches, with a 3-5-2 formation moving into spaces and battling physically,' coach Igor Tudor said after the game.
'We know this is a Bologna side was built over several years, they have a specific type of football, fuelled by enthusiasm especially on home turf that made me decide to prepare it this way. It's a good point, I am happy with a solid result in a stadium where everyone struggled.
'With so many problems, injuries, bans, we did well.'

📝 Shock defeat for 'U' in the Copa Chile
The 'Romantic Traveler' was defeated 2-1 by Curicó Unido in the first leg of the round of 16 of the domestic competition. It was not a good performance by Universidad de Chile against Curicó Unido at the Estadio Huachipato CAP-Acero, where they lost the first leg of the round of 16 by 2-1 in a match where it became evident that the absences hit Gustavo Álvarez's team. Advertisement The 'Blues', with eleven absences due to call-ups for the senior national team and the U-20, as well as the injury of Charles Aránguiz, took control of the match at the start, but Diego Rojas assisted Nicolás Fernández to establish the 1-0 in favor of the 'Torteros' after half an hour of play. The home team did not take their foot off the gas and Cristián Bustamante appeared completely free in the area to extend the lead and spark celebrations on Héctor Almandoz's bench before the end of the first half. Indeed, near halftime, the 'U' reacted with a penalty converted by Leandro Fernández. There was also a penalty for the Curicó team, but Bustamante's shot went wide. Advertisement Gustavo Álvarez made several changes at halftime, and his team improved with the entry of Rodrigo Contreras, although they almost suffered more goals from their rival's counterattacks in the second half. Universidad de Chile couldn't avoid the defeat and is now obliged to win by at least two goals in the rematch to be played this Wednesday, June 11, at the Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos.
