The signing of Adin Ličina from Juventus is the latest move by US Cremonese to strengthen their attacking options. The 19-year-old arrives on a dry loan for the 2026-27 season, with no conditions preventing his return to Turin next year.
The news was shared on Friday. The club worked hard to beat the competition and secure the player's profile. Journalist Romeo Agresti stated, "Adin Ličina is set to spend the 2026-27 season on loan in Serie B with Cremonese".
How did the Adin Ličina transfer happen?
Adin Ličina was the subject of a genuine race between several teams. US Cremonese made a late push to close the deal, successfully displacing Avellino, which had been seen as the most likely destination for the youngster. Competition did not only come from Serie B sides.
Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna showed strong interest in the player. Manna, a former member of the Juventus front office, wanted to sign Ličina permanently. However, journalist Mirko Di Natale stated that Juventus "rejected a late bid from Napoli to try and sign Ličina outright".
What is the recent career path of the new signing?
Adin Ličina joined Juventus during the winter transfer window earlier this year, arriving from the Bayern Munich youth setup. This German experience created a close bond with Kenan Yildiz, another former Bayern youth product.
During the second half of last season, Ličina split his time between Juventus' primavera and Next Gen squads. Now, the goal is to secure consistent playing time in a competitive league. A strong run of performances in Serie B could lead to him becoming a regular part of the Juventus first-team squad next season.
What is the current state of US Cremonese?
The club arrives at this signing during a difficult period following their recent relegation from Serie A. The team is struggling at the start of the campaign, as seen on our standings page. US Cremonese currently sits 20th in Serie B with 0 points, following two consecutive losses.
The offensive record is worrying, with 0 goals scored and 4 conceded, resulting in a -4 goal difference. This situation makes the integration of Ličina even more urgent to unlock the attack. The team is also currently 6 points behind the league leaders, Modena, who recently beat them 2-0.
Beyond the results, the club must manage the absence of David Stückler, who is currently sidelined. You can monitor the evolution of the roster on our squad page. The arrival of the Juventus youngster is intended to provide much-needed depth to a struggling frontline.
The schedule includes several challenges to climb the table, the details of which are available on our fixtures page. The next match is against Hellas Verona, away, on December 19, 2026.
