However, they haven’t sealed the deal yet, and Sportitalia claim that Juventus have made an approach to ask about the conditions of the transfer.
It would be an intriguing move, following in the footsteps of Gianluigi Buffon when he went from Parma to Juventus.
Suzuki will celebrate his 24 th birthday next month and was born in the United States of America to a Ghanaian father and Japanese mother, but represents Japan at international level, having grown up there.
Parma paid €8.2m plus add-ons and a 10 per cent cut of the future sale fee to buy him from Belgian side Sint-Truiden in 2024.

What happened
Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki is attracting significant interest from Serie A giants Juventus and Premier League side Leeds United, with his club having set a €30m valuation. Suzuki has impressed in Serie A and earned international recognition with Japan, making him one of the most sought-after goalkeepers in the market. Both clubs are reportedly eager to secure his signature, though no formal offer has been confirmed yet. The valuation reflects Suzuki's growing reputation as a top-tier shot-stopper.
Chance analysis
A €30m price tag for a goalkeeper signals strong market confidence in Suzuki's ability, particularly given his age and trajectory. Juventus are notably in the market for a long-term goalkeeping solution, while Leeds United's interest suggests Premier League ambition. Such a fee would represent a significant investment and likely include performance-related structures. The competition between a top Serie A club and a Premier League side could drive the price higher in negotiations.
Juventus and Leeds United gain a potential long-term goalkeeping upgrade, while Parma risk losing a key asset; the transfer could reshape goalkeeping depth charts at all three clubs.
If Suzuki moves, it directly impacts the defensive stability and budget of the acquiring club, and may trigger a goalkeeper reshuffle at the selling club.
