(Dan Tri) - Italian media reported that the "Old Lady" of Turin, Juventus, wants to recruit Indonesian national team captain Jay Idzes for a price of up to 20 million euros (more than 520 billion VND).
Center back Jay Idzes currently plays for Venezia Club in Italy's Serie A. This is a team with its home stadium in the poetic city of Venice, Italy.
Jay Idzes is the captain of the Indonesian team in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Asia. However, at the 2024 AFF Cup, this player will not return to his country to play for the team of the archipelago country, because the AFF Cup is outside the FIFA Days schedule (days when teams around the world compete internationally, according to the schedule set by FIFA).

This player is 24 years old this year, 1m90 tall, playing in the position of center back. He is one of the naturalized players of the Indonesian team.
Regarding Jay Idzes' transfer information, Italian journalist Antonello Angelini said: "Juventus has made an offer to Venezia Club to recruit Jay Idzes. The two clubs are negotiating with each other around the figure of 20 million euros, this is the amount of money to break the contract between Jay Idzes and Venezia".
It is important to note that 20 million euros (over 520 billion VND) is a huge amount for a player of Southeast Asian nationality. Over 520 billion VND is an amount that can even support half of the teams in the V-League (a total of 14 teams) for a season.
However, some Indonesian media commented that 20 million euros to break Jay Idzes' contract with Venezia is still not a high number, because Jay Idzes is currently the captain of Venezia.
As for the "Old Lady" of Turin, Juventus, the most traditional football team in Italy, revealed that they will complete the deal to buy Jay Idzes within the next 6 months. That means that, at the latest at the beginning of the 2025-2026 season, Jay Idzes will wear the traditional black and white striped shirt of Juventus Club.
