Zeki Çelik is a Turkey international right-back, born on 17 February 1997 (age 29). His current market value is around £5m, according to Transfermarkt.
His broader European standing was built at Lille, where the 2020-21 league season was his most productive in front of goal: three goals in 29 appearances. That was not a wild attacking return, but for a full-back it was enough to underline his usefulness beyond the basic defensive brief.
Çelik is now with Juventus. In 2026-27 he has made five Serie A appearances, and has also scored once in the Europa League, giving him six appearances and one goal for the club across all competitions.
He has remained involved with Turkey as well, with two World Cup appearances, five European World Cup qualifying appearances, including one goal, and four Nations League outings this season. His career has settled into the shape of an established international full-back: Lille as the main breakthrough stage, Juventus as the current test, and Turkey a steady part of the picture.
