Juventus push for Chiesa but Liverpool set high asking price Juventus continue negotiations with Liverpool for Federico Chiesa, but the Reds have reportedly demanded €20m for the Italian winger. ............ Juventus, on the other hand, push for a loan deal with an option to buy that will become mandatory if certain conditions are met. ............ In any case, the Serie A giants seem unwilling to match Liverpool’s asking price, so, inevitably, negotiations will continue in the coming days. ............ .

Modugno explains why Juventus has a chance to win the Scudetto Juventus has been performing well in recent weeks, but the club is careful not to put itself under pressure by focusing on winning the Scudetto. The Bianconeri regard themselves as a team with talented players capable of achieving their seasonal objectives, but those objectives do not include claiming the league title. When the season began, their primary aim was to finish inside the top four and remain competitive. The early stages did not go according to plan, ultimately resulting in Igor Tudor losing his position as head coach. Luciano Spalletti was appointed as his replacement at the Allianz Stadium, and Juventus have continued to support him fully. ............ Despite not openly targeting the Scudetto, Juventus remains one of the clubs capable of competing for the Italian championship by the end of the season. Francesco Modugno has expressed optimism about their prospects: “Spalletti’s Juve are a threat, even for the Scudetto: this is a balanced league, without a master, where you can finish first or fifth. The Scudetto is an ambition shared by many: Napoli, Inter, Milan, Juve. Roma and Atalanta will compete for a Champions League spot.” ............ .

Collovati does not think Juventus can win the Scudetto yet Juventus has been in impressive form in recent matches, prompting growing discussion about a possible Scudetto challenge by the end of the season. The Old Lady did not begin the campaign as a leading title contender, with most observers believing a finish inside the top four would represent a successful outcome. Early expectations were therefore measured rather than ambitious. ............ Juventus acted decisively by replacing Tudor with Luciano Spalletti, a move that has transformed the outlook of the season. Since his arrival, the team has shown renewed organisation, confidence, and tactical clarity. Results have followed, and Juventus is now regarded as one of the strongest teams in Italy on current form. That improvement has naturally led to renewed belief among supporters and pundits alike. The run of positive results has altered perceptions, with talk of a title challenge no longer dismissed out of hand. Winning regularly has placed Juventus closer to the summit and increased scrutiny of their credentials. ............ Former player Fulvio Collovati has acknowledged the progress but remains cautious in his assessment. He questioned whether Juventus is truly ready to lift the title. He said, “If you ask me if this is a Scudetto-worthy Juve, because it’s clear that when they win five out of six games, and a draw played out in a certain way against Lecce, they start talking about the Scudetto race, but in my opinion, Juventus is still a step behind the game we saw between Inter and Napoli. However, with the transfer market, you never know, but as it stands, Juve are not Scudetto-worthy but will compete for the top three or four spots.” ............ .

Juventus goes one step closer to completing Oscar Mingueza move Juventus is closing in on a move for Óscar Mingueza, with a deal for the defender expected to be completed soon. The club has made it clear that they want to sign him and have been working diligently to finalise the transfer as quickly as possible. Mingueza is also open to the move and is waiting for both clubs to reach an agreement so that he can complete the transfer. Juventus currently have several capable defenders in their squad, but it has identified Mingueza as a key target who can make a meaningful impact. ............ The centre-back will be the first of several new signings to join the club this window, and the transfer appears to be approaching completion. Juventus have offered Celta Vigo 6 million euros for his signature, and the deal could be finalised in the coming days. ............ If the transfer is completed, Mingueza is expected to contribute immediately, strengthening Juventus’ defensive options. The club’s management appears focused on addressing key weaknesses and ensuring the squad is well-prepared for the remainder of the season. The move could set the tone for additional signings, signalling Juventus’ intent to reinforce critical positions. ............ .

Bremer is happy to score and reveals who he dedicates the goal to Gleison Bremer was on the scoresheet as Juventus secured a 5-0 win against Cremonese last night. The Bianconeri have been among the strongest sides in Serie A in recent weeks, consistently displaying quality and cohesion in each game. Their current unbeaten run reflects the collective effort of the squad, with all players contributing to the team’s impressive performances. ............ In addition to his defensive duties, Bremer recently ended his goal drought, scoring in the win over Cremonese. The goal provided a personal boost for the defender, who dedicated the moment to his wife. He said: “I headed the ball, it went well. We won and that’s what matters. I dedicated the goal to my wife who is pregnant, we’re expecting a baby girl. I’m happy, it was a bit of a lucky goal but I’m happy. After two years I managed to score, I needed confidence and I lacked it.” ............ Bremer’s influence goes beyond his contributions at set pieces, as his defensive solidity allows the team to build from the back and maintain confidence throughout matches. Juventus’ strong form has been built on a combination of tactical organisation, individual quality and collective effort, with Bremer playing a central role in both defence and attack. ............ .

“We keep pushing.” Yildiz reacts to latest Juventus win Kenan Yildiz was in excellent form as Juventus secured a 5-0 victory over Cremonese last night. The match began competitively, but after Juve scored their second goal, Cremonese struggled to respond, and the Bianconeri capitalised by adding three more goals to maintain their impressive run of results. ............ The attacker scored one of the goals in the match and expressed his satisfaction with both his personal contribution and the team’s overall display. In a social media post, Yildiz said: “Great team performance and happy to be on the scoresheet. We keep pushing. Thank you for the support.” His ability to combine individual skill with team play has been a key factor in Juventus’ current form, and he continues to develop as a reliable presence in attack. ............ Manager Luciano Spalletti has helped ease the pressure on Yildiz, allowing him to perform with greater freedom and confidence. The team’s collective improvement has created an environment in which players like Yildiz can thrive, contributing both goals and creativity. Juventus’ recent performances reflect the positive impact of Spalletti’s tactical guidance and man-management, as the squad demonstrates composure and cohesion across matches. ............ .

Two Juventus stars missed the latest group training Francisco Conceição and Federico Gatti have both been recovering from injuries and did not feature in Juventus’ 5-0 win against Cremonese, but they remain key figures for the team. Juventus have been performing strongly, yet the squad relies on contributions from every player, making the return of Gatti and Conceição a priority for the club. Neither player has suffered a serious issue, and both are following individual training programmes designed to aid their recovery and ensure a safe return to the group. Juventus are mindful of managing its rehabilitation carefully, balancing the need for fitness with the importance of long-term availability during the crucial stages of the season. ............ Both Gatti and Conceição were present at the training ground but continued with their personalised programmes to facilitate a swift and safe return. The club aims to have its full complement of players available as soon as possible, recognising their importance as the season reaches its decisive phase. ............ Although both players are eager to rejoin the first team, Juventus are determined not to rush their comeback. Careful management of injuries ensures that Gatti and Conceição can contribute fully without risking setbacks. The club’s approach reflects the broader philosophy of balancing player welfare with competitive ambitions, particularly during a period in which every match carries significant weight for the team’s objectives. ............ .

Mattioli explains why he is not surprised at Juventus’ improvements Juventus have shown significant improvement since November, raising the possibility that they could challenge for the Scudetto. The season began inconsistently for the Bianconeri, with poor performances ultimately costing Igor Tudor his managerial position. Juventus needed a stabilising figure, and they turned to Luciano Spalletti on a short-term deal, signalling their desire to restore momentum and consistency. Despite initial doubts, Spalletti has quickly improved the team’s performance. Juventus players now display greater confidence and composure, adapting effectively to the tactical demands of their new manager. Each match has seen further progress, and the side continues to build on the foundations laid since his appointment. ............ Mario Mattioli has emphasised that Juventus’ improvement under Spalletti is not surprising. He said: “Nothing impressed me, because I expected that from Juve. They managed to bring in a truly outstanding coach. Tudor struggled, lacking the necessary experience. Spalletti, on the other hand, has it and has managed, even without saying too much, to show them how to play at Juve.” ............ As the season progresses, the Bianconeri appear capable of maintaining their upward trajectory. With Spalletti at the helm, Juventus are positioned not only to secure positive results but also to mount a serious challenge for the Scudetto. ............ .

Lungi da me difendere il Napoli ma bisogna ammettere che i partenopei hanno avuto una serie di infortuni in serie da guinness dei primati. Con un Napoli al completo, l'Inter non avrebbe avuto tutto quel vantaggio.

Hai matato el Lecce

E infatti

Magari

Ma pare solo a me che l'Inter gioca male stasera? Poi vinceranno ugualmente ma non mi sembrano brillantissimi.

MARCO OTTOLINI https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juventus_Football_Club_2025-2026 Nazione: Italia Luogo di nascita: Gardone Val Trompia (Brescia) Data di nascita: 18.02.1980 Ruolo: Direttore Sportivo Direttore sportivo della Juventus dal 2026 Cresciuto come osservatore tra Anderlecht e Juventus, diventato ds del Genoa nel 2019 e protagonista del "lancio" di diversi giovani talenti consacratisi con la maglia rossoblù. Dopo settimane di "casting" e un testa a testa con vari altri pretendenti al ruolo (non solo italiani), Marco Ottolini rappresenta la scelta della Signora per il ruolo di direttore sportivo. Nell'ottobre scorso, il dirigente classe 1980 ha risolto il contratto che lo legava al Genoa - club di cui era ds - per poi svolgere alcuni colloqui con la società bianconera. Incontri che hanno positivamente sorpreso Damien Comolli. Per Ottolini si tratta di un ritorno in bianconero, visto che il dirigente aveva già lavorato con la Juventus: in qualità di osservatore, ma anche di responsabile del progetto "Club 15". L'obiettivo che dovrà centrare è fin da ora evidente: riportare la Juventus a vincere, ma rispettando la sostenibilità economico-finanziaria. Ex calciatore con un passato al Brescia, Ottolini ha avviato la sua carriera "dietro la scrivania" con l'Anderlecht, di cui divenne osservatore nel 2015. In tre stagioni la considerazione acquisita all'interno dell'organigramma del club belga crebbe così tanto da portare la Juventus a monitorare con attenzione il lavoro del classe 1980. Che in bianconero ci è già stato, visto che il nativo di Gardone Val Trompia ha svolto il ruolo di osservatore per la Signora dal 2019 al 2021, prima di diventare responsabile dei giocatori in prestito. Nello stesso periodo, Ottolini ha seguito da vicino la nascita del progetto Next Gen bianconero ed è diventato responsabile del "Club 15", programma che la stessa società torinese così definisce: "Sviluppare, valorizzare e mantenere rapporti con società di calcio estere, al fine di promuovere i talenti e creare una rete virtuosa di collaborazioni. Segnalare giovani di talento da far crescere a Torino, oppure permettere ai ragazzi che stanno crescendo nelle nostre Under di vivere esperienze di qualità in campionati esteri". L'esperienza maturata alla Juventus è stata volano per il definitivo salto di qualità, avvenuto nel 2022. Quando il Genoa ha deciso di affidargli l'incarico di direttore sportivo. Sotto la sua supervisione - con occhio clinico di osservatore sempre ben aperto - il Grifone ha mixato davvero bene i risultati sportivi con la crescita di diversi e promettenti talenti. Soltanto per citarne alcuni: Radu Dragusin (oggi difensore del Tottenham), Josep Martínez (vice-Sommer all'Inter) e il bomber della Nazionale, Mateo Retegui. Il lavoro svolto in rossoblù è stato particolarmente apprezzato dai nuovi vertici societari bianconeri, che hanno individuato proprio in Ottolini l'uomo giusto per completare l'organigramma - della parte prettamente "sportiva" - della Juventus. La sfida è di quelle importanti, perché la fase di transizione che sta vivendo Madama resta comunque evidente. Altrettanto chiaro è l'obiettivo che dovrà centrare il nuovo ds: riportare la Juventus a vincere, in modo però sostenibile economicamente. "La Juventus è lieta di annunciare la nomina di Marco Ottolini come nuovo Direttore Sportivo del Club. A partire dal 1° gennaio 2026 Ottolini è entrato ufficialmente a far parte dell’organigramma bianconero, a diretto riporto del Chief Executive Officer Damien Comolli. Marco Ottolini porta con sé un bagaglio di esperienze ampio e trasversale, costruito nel tempo attraverso i diversi ruoli ricoperti all’interno del mondo del calcio. Nato nel 1980, dopo aver concluso la carriera sul campo nel 2002, ha scelto di intraprendere subito il percorso dirigenziale attraverso esperienze che gli hanno permesso di sviluppare una conoscenza profonda delle dinamiche del calcio professionistico. Nel 2015 inizia un’importante parentesi internazionale all’Anderlecht contribuendo alla strutturazione e allo sviluppo dell’attività di osservazione del club belga. La prima esperienza con la Juventus prende forma nel 2018, quando entra a far parte dell’area scouting internazionale. Nel corso dei quattro anni successivi, si occupa principalmente del monitoraggio dei giocatori in prestito e dei rapporti con club internazionali, seguendo da vicino lo sviluppo dei calciatori sotto contratto con il club, in particolare quelli impegnati all’estero. Durante questo primo legame con il Club bianconero, conclusosi nel 2022, contribuisce anche alle fasi iniziali del progetto Seconda Squadra. Dopo il successivo percorso professionale che lo ha visto protagonista al Genoa, per Marco Ottolini si apre ora una nuova sfida a Torino. Il ritorno alla Juventus, questa volta nel ruolo di Direttore Sportivo, rappresenta un approdo naturale per un cammino costruito su competenza, visione e conoscenza approfondita del calcio italiano e internazionale. Bentornato Direttore e buon lavoro!".
