Koopmeiners is hopeful he can be fit for the Venezia match Teun Koopmeiners has spent the past few weeks on the sidelines due to injury, missing several matches for Juventus at a crucial point in the season. The Dutch midfielder has been one of the most influential figures at the Allianz Stadium, consistently earning his place in the starting eleven when fit. Previously a regular under Thiago Motta, Koopmeiners has maintained his importance under Igor Tudor as well. ............ On the last weekend of the season, Juventus are set to face Venezia in a match that will determine their qualification for next season’s Champions League. While the Bianconeri are the stronger side on paper, football rarely adheres to expectations. Venezia will be looking to spoil the party, and Juventus must be fully focused to ensure they do not let this opportunity slip through their fingers. The importance of the match cannot be overstated. Champions League qualification remains a critical objective, both from a sporting and financial perspective, and securing that spot would mark a positive end to what has been a turbulent season. ............ Koopmeiners is working diligently behind the scenes in an attempt to regain fitness in time for the decisive clash. The report suggests that the midfielder believes he has a strong chance of being involved and is making every effort to rejoin the squad ahead of the fixture. ............ Juventus must weigh the risk of bringing him back too soon. With the depth in their squad and the form they have maintained in recent weeks, there is reason to believe they can secure the necessary result even without him. ............ .

Conte to Present Massive Demands to Stay at Napoli Napoli don’t believe that Antonio Conte has already decided to depart and return to Juventus. On the other hand, they’ll have to meet his hefty conditions to continue on the Azzurri bench, Il Mattino reports. Aurelio De Laurentiis will have his chance to reel in the coach in a meeting after the final game. The gaffer will request a host of reinforcements and a €200M budget for the summer window. Moreover, he wants the payroll to grow from €80M to €100/110M. Napoli don’t think that Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli really wants to hire Conte. ............ On the other hand, the manager also demands improvements concerning the training center and the youth academy. The same outlet reports that Victor Osimhen won’t head to Turin and will instead transfer to a foreign team. ............ They were lavish last summer without cashing in on anybody, and De Laurentiis will surely remind the boss of that. It’ll come down to comfort, personal relations, and sensations rather than sheer numbers. ............ . Read more -> https://cultofcalcio.com/conte-to-present-massive-demands-to-stay-at-napoli/

Liverpool and Juventus to unveil new Heysel memorials on 40th anniversary Liverpool have announced the creation of a new Heysel memorial at Anfield Road marking the 40th anniversary of the disaster, noting that they will be ‘forever bound’ with Juventus by the tragedy. ................ It will include the names of all the 39 supporters who were killed at the Heysel Stadium on May 29, 1985. Liverpool fans sparked a fight in the stands before the European Cup Final in Brussels, leading to fans fleeing and the collapse of a wall, prompting the death of 39 people, most of them Juventus supporters. This new Liverpool memorial will have images of the two club scarves knotted together, with the inscription: “Forever Bound, in memory and friendship.” Juventus will also unveil a new plaque in Turin, titled ‘Verso Altrove’ – Towards Beyond – which will be attended by Liverpool CEO Billy Horgan and former player Ian Rush. “To see a new memorial created with such care means a lot and it’s incredibly important to have a fitting tribute to remember the 39 fans who lost their lives,” said Rush, who was in the stadium on that tragic day. ................ .

Juventus already know they’ll spend at least 65m for summer transfers Juventus are planning to rebuild the team next season, but Italian media notes that the Bianconeri will be forced to pay €65.2m for players already on the team and permanent transfers. ............ Champions League revenues would naturally allow the club to have a bigger summer transfer budget, but a big slice of it would have to be invested in players already on the team. ............ Juventus already know they’ll have to pay €13m each for Teun Koopmeiners and Douglas Luiz. Seven million for Khephren Thuram, €4.2m for Juan Cabal, €9.3m for Nico Gonzalez, €4.8m for Michele Di Gregorio, €5.7m for Lloyd Kelly and €3.4m for Alberto Costa. All these players have already completed permanent moves to Turin, but the payments for their purchases will be made in multiple instalments over the years. Furthermore, Juventus seem eager to make Pierre Kalulu’s move permanent at the end of the season, adding a further €14m fee, raising the total tally to €65.2m. .

Four Juventus loaned-out players set to rejoin the squad for Club World Cup Juventus are expecting to regain the services of four players who will return from their respective loan spells to take part in the FIFA Club World Cup. The Bianconeri will be one of two Serie A representatives in the first expanded edition of the global tournament which will take place in the United States between June 14 and July 13. ............ While an early transfer window will allow the clubs the opportunity to sign new players, it’s hard to imagine Juventus pulling off too many operations in the first ten days of June. ............ The Old Lady will be able to rely on four returning players to boost the numbers. The first is Filip Kostic who is currently on loan at Fenerbahce. But despite being tipped to finalise a permanent transfer, Jose Mourinho’s club no longer wants to exercise the option to buy the winger who will now return to Turin. The second name on the list is Daniele Rugani who is on a dry loan at Ajax. ............ Tiago Djalo and Facundo Gonzalez, two defenders who couldn’t carve out starting roles at Porto and Feyenoord, respectively. In addition to these four returnees, the source expects Tudor to bolster his World Cup squad by adding Juventus Next Gen players. Riccardo Turicchia, Javier Gil, Nicolò Cudrig, Luca Amaradio and Alessandro Pietrelli are the favourites to earn call-ups. .

Galatasaray remains interested in Vlahovic if they cannot sign Osimhen Dusan Vlahovic remains a player of interest to Galatasaray as the Turkish club prepares for a potential change in its attacking line. Despite their desire to retain Victor Osimhen, the club is making plans in case his departure becomes inevitable. Osimhen, who is currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, has arguably been their most influential performer this season. His consistent form in Turkiye has not gone unnoticed, and it has also caught the attention of Juventus. ............ As Juventus makes plans for a reshaped attack, Dusan Vlahovic appears increasingly likely to leave the club. The Serbian striker has not agreed to the terms offered for a contract extension, which has placed the club in a position where a sale may be necessary. ............ Galatasaray is among the teams interested in acquiring Vlahovic. The Turkish side is aware that Osimhen’s return to Napoli would leave a significant gap in their squad, and they view Vlahovic as a capable replacement who could step into that role effectively. ............ If Vlahovic declines to extend his stay at Juventus, the club is prepared to sell him to any team willing to meet their expectations, regardless of the destination. The focus at Juventus is to secure a top-quality striker as early as possible, to give the team adequate time to integrate the new addition into their tactical plans. ............ .

Chiellini responds to reports that BBC could be back at Juventus Giorgio Chiellini remains the most prominent former Juventus player currently serving on the club’s board and is set to become even more influential in the coming season. Juve plans to elevate his role, assigning him closer responsibilities alongside Cristiano Giuntoli in managing the club’s daily operations. His leadership and long-standing association with the club make him an ideal candidate for a more central decision-making role. ............ Reports suggest that Leonardo Bonucci may be set to take on a role as a youth coach, while Andrea Barzagli is also tipped to return in some capacity. Should these plans materialise, Juventus would be reuniting the renowned defensive trio famously referred to as the BBC partnership, which formed the bedrock of one of the most dominant periods in the club’s history under Antonio Conte. During their time together, Chiellini, Bonucci and Barzagli created one of Europe’s most formidable defensive lines, helping Juventus secure multiple league titles with unmatched consistency. ............ This potential reunion has been circulating in media reports for some time, and while no official confirmation has been made, the possibility suggests strategic planning behind the scenes to reintegrate these iconic figures into the club. ............ Chiellini was recently asked to comment on the speculation regarding his former teammates rejoining the club in official roles. He responded, “Bonucci and Barzagli in the future Juventus? We have already done a lot on the pitch together. It has had many cycles in its history, and it is all part of a journey.” While the club’s direction appears to favour bringing in figures with a strong Juventus identity, it remains essential that such appointments are based on merit and vision rather than sentiment alone. ............ .

La loro strategia é chiara. Scioccare con quella che secondo loro é originalitá. Se non ci fosse nessuno che se le compra certe scempiaggini, tornerebbero alla tradizione ma finché ci sono i "collezionisti" amanti dello strano continuano su questa via.
