Juventus have not done much business so far this summer under their new CEO, but the two players that they\u2019ve signed under Giovanni Carnevali\u2019s watch have come about in the same kind of manner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
There\u2019s been little to no reporting for the days leading up to an official announcement, and then suddenly there\u2019s a player in Turin getting ready for their medicals. First it was teenage Genoa striker Jeff Ekhator. Now, a couple of weeks later, it\u2019s Juve swooping in and signing fullback Zeki \u00c7elik, who looked to be on the cusp of signing a contract extension at Roma \u2026 until he wasn\u2019t and in a Jeep for his medicals at J Medical.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Two signings with barely any real build-up until the deals are reported as closed and then they\u2019re official a short time later.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
As much as the more notable potential deals have dominated the conversation, it\u2019s those done more in the background and to the surprise of many when reports hit the internet that they\u2019re closed is how the deals that have actually been closed have gotten done so far this summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
It\u2019s an interesting twist to a summer mercato that hasn\u2019t had much actual activity outside of that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
