Preview: Udinese vs Juventus - prediction, team news, lineups Continuing their fight for a top-four finish, Serie A giants Juventus will visit Udinese on Saturday evening. Another battle of the Bianconeri will kick off with Juve just outside the Champions League places, while their hosts are sitting safely in mid-table. Match preview After taking two points from four league matches - plus crashing out of Europe and the Coppa Italia - Juventus started slowly in last week's home game against relegation-threatened Pisa. Having previously required two late goals to draw with fellow top-four contenders Roma, the Turin club failed to break through before half time but eventually turned on the style. Second-half strikes from Andrea Cambiaso, Khephren Thuram, Kenan Yildiz and Jeremie Boga saw them stroll to victory at the Allianz Stadium, but they still occupy sixth place in Serie A. The race for Italy's fourth Champions League spot could go down to the wire, as fifth-placed Como won in Cagliari while Roma slipped up in Genoa - and they must play each other on Sunday. So, for one day at least, Juve can climb above both of their rivals by winning in Udine; however, Luciano Spalletti's side have conceded at least three goals in each of their last four away fixtures. More positively, since Spalletti - who managed Udinese for 117 Serie A matches across two different spells - took the reins from Igor Tudor at the end of October, only Inter Milan have scored more goals than Juventus. ............ Udinese Serie A form: W L L L W D Juventus Serie A form: W D L L D W Juventus form (all competitions): L L L W D W Team News Only Emil Holm and Arkadiusz Milik are unavailable for Juventus, as Dusan Vlahovic is back in full training after more than three months spent on the sidelines. The Serbian's last Serie A goal was in October's reverse fixture - his fourth career strike against Udinese - and his return will threaten Jonathan David's place up front, with Lois Openda slipping further down the pecking order. Meanwhile, Juve's main man Yildiz has now scored nine goals in the current league campaign, so he could become the first foreign player in club history to reach double figures as an Under-21. ............ Udinese possible starting lineup: Okoye; Kristensen, Kabasele, Solet; Ehizibue, Ekkelenkamp, Karlstrom, Atta, Kamara; Zaniolo, Davis Juventus possible starting lineup: Perin; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly, Cambiaso; Thuram, Locatelli; Conceicao, McKennie, Yildiz; David ............ We say: Udinese 1-2 Juventus Already safe, Udinese have relatively little left to play for, while Juventus are hungry for points to help their top-four quest. That extra motivation should see Juve prevail between the two Bianconeri, continuing a long tradition of Serie A success in Udine. .

Juventus probable lineup vs Udinese: Three selection dilemmas for Spalletti Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti is working on defining his starting lineup ahead of Saturday’s contest against Udinese, but he has at least three selection headaches to resolve. Last weekend, the Bianconeri managed to reduce the deficit with Roma to a single point, but they remain sixth in the standings, with Como taking the coveted fourth spot thanks to their goal-difference advantage over the Italian capital side. ............ Spalletti must first solve the goalkeeper’s dilemma. Michele Di Gregorio has been dropped in the last three matches due to a series of mistakes, making way for Mattia Perin. Nevertheless, the manager wouldn’t want to completely alienate his original first-choice custodian, so he’s considering bringing Di Gregorio back to the fold. At the back, Lloyd Kelly and Pierre Kalulu are almost certain of their starting roles, but Spalletti is considering resting Gleison Bremer and giving Federico Gatti the nod at the heart of the defence. ............ The biggest selection dilemma haunting Spalletti is arguably the one upfront. Jonathan David is coming off a disappointing display against Pisa, and the team only managed to score following his half-time exit. On the other hand, Dusan Vlahovic is only fit enough for a role on the bench, while Lois Openda has fallen out of favour. The manager could thus consider starting Kenan Yildiz as a false 9, supported by Francisco Conceicao and Jeremie Boga. ............ Juventus Probable XI (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio (Perin); Kalulu, Gatti (Bremer), Kelly; McKennie, Locatelli, Thuram, Cambiaso; Conceicao, Yildiz; David (Boga). .

Juventus make concrete offer for Senesi who can change their midfield strategy Juventus have reportedly submitted their first written offer for Bournemouth centre-back Marcos Senesi. The 28-year-old is on his way out of the Premier League club, as his contract will expire in June, and he has already turned down all renewal proposals. The Argentine’s imminent exit has piqued the interest of several top suitors around Europe, including Barcelona and Roma. ........... Juventus are trying to anticipate the competition by striking a swift accord with Senesi and his entourage. The Bianconeri have already sent their first concrete offer for the player. However, it remains to be seen if the former Feyenoord star is willing to close the deal at this stage of the season, or bide his time while waiting to learn whether or not Juventus will take part in the Champions League next season. ............ Senesi would only provide Luciano Spalletti with a defender who suits his playing style, but he could also impact the club’s midfield plans. The 67-year-old manager has been seeking a genuine deep-lying playmaker capable of pulling the strings in the middle of the park. Nevertheless, Senesi is renowned for his technical attributes and distribution from the back. ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/juventus-concrete-offer-marcos-senesi/

Juventus will be scouting Udinese striker in Saturday’s contest Juventus will reportedly seize the opportunity to monitor Keinan Davis when they lock horns with Udinese on Saturday evening. Luciano Spalletti will return to Udine this weekend, eyeing three vital points that would certainly elevate his team in the Serie A standings, given that Como and Roma will clash heads on Sunday. ........... The Bianconeri could add the English striker to their summer shortlist. The 28-year-old has been enjoying a solid campaign. He became Kosta Runjaic’s first-choice centre-forward following Lorenzo Lucca’s transfer to Napoli last summer. The Stevanage native formed a swift understanding with Nicolo Zaniolo, who joined the club last summer and has been enjoying a career revival in Friuli. The Italian’s technical skills complement the Englishman’s impressive physical traits and clinical finishing touch. Davis has made 24 appearances in Serie A this season. He has thus far scored nine goals, while also providing his teammates with three assists. ............ Only Lautaro Martinez has scored more than Davis in the Italian top flight this term. The Inter captain is leading the scoring charts with 14 goals, while the Englishman shares second place with a host of other players, including Kenan Yildiz, with 9 strikes apiece. ............ .

“Not well-built” – Moggi slams Juventus squad, tells Vlahovic to leave Former Juventus sporting director Luciano Moggi isn’t impressed by the club’s current roster, and offers advice for Dusan Vlahovic. ........... Despite the poor results in February, Moggi has vindicated Luciano Spalletti from all responsibilities, insisting that the issues lie within the squad. “Juventus as a team is not well built. But they hired a coach who is getting results from this squad that previously seemed unimaginable,” said the 88-year-old in his interview. “With the previous coaches, those kinds of results simply weren’t there.” ............ “Drawing against AS Roma and almost completing a comeback against Galatasaray is, on one hand, courageous, but on the other, it shows a lack of long-term tactical planning. “Right now, they’re one point behind Como 1907 and Roma, but keep an eye on the Lombard side because they’re very solid in midfield and don’t need to rely on their defence to defend. And then Nico Paz and Martin Baturina score quite regularly. “Still, I see Roma as more of a rival than Como, which, like Juventus, is not a complete team.” ............ Moggi argues that Vlahovic is better off leaving the club at the end of the season, as he and the management have been at odds for years. “In my opinion, even if he wanted to stay, he can’t. There’s been too much back-and-forth between him and the club, and that’s not healthy. “So, despite considering him a good centre-forward, it would be better to look elsewhere.” .

Massimo Mauro insists Jonathan David is not good enough for Juventus Jonathan David has endured a difficult first season at Juventus, and there is growing uncertainty over whether he will remain part of the club’s plans for next term. ............ Juventus ultimately won the race for his signature, and many observers initially regarded the transfer as a significant success for the Italian club. Expectations were high that David would strengthen the team’s attack and provide consistent goals. ............ Massimo Mauro expressed sympathy for the player while questioning his suitability for the position. “I feel sorry for David, because on a human level I feel sorry for him, but I don’t think he can play as a centre forward for Juventus anymore,” he said. ............ .

Tacchinardi shocked Juventus turned down chance to sign Roma star Donyell Malen moved to AS Roma during the January transfer window, joining the Italian club from Aston Villa in a loan-to-buy deal. The Dutch forward has quickly found form since arriving in Rome and has impressed during his early appearances in Serie A. His performances in recent weeks have led some observers to question why Juventus did not attempt to secure his signature during the same transfer window. ............ With Roma gaining momentum, the decision not to pursue Malen could be viewed as a missed opportunity for Juventus. ............ It has since emerged that the Bianconeri were actually offered the chance to sign Malen during the January window. The revelation sparked a surprised reaction from former Juventus midfielder Alessio Tacchinardi. ............ “Malen is a really good player,” he said, before Romeo Agresti responded, “Now I’m going to drive you crazy: did you know that he was also offered to Juventus in January? Do you remember? I told you right around the time he was on his way to Roma that he had also been offered to Juventus.” Tacchinardi’s reaction was immediate and emphatic, replying, “I don’t believe it. I’m just going to say…” before leaving the live broadcast. . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/tacchinardi-shocked-juventus-turned-down-chance-to-sign-roma-star/

Matteo Moretto doubts Juventus can sign Premier League star Juventus are reportedly interested in adding Sandro Tonali to its squad at the end of the season, raising the possibility that the Newcastle United midfielder could return to Serie A. The Italian international has long been admired by the Bianconeri, who followed his progress closely during his time at AC Milan. However, when the opportunity to sign him previously arose, Juventus were unable to compete financially with Newcastle, who ultimately secured his signature. ............ Despite Juventus’ long-standing admiration for the midfielder, securing a deal will not be straightforward. Tonali remains a highly valued player, and there is considerable interest from other clubs prepared to invest heavily to bring him into their squads. ............ Although Juventus are interested in bringing Tonali back to Italy, the financial demands of any potential transfer could present a major obstacle. ............ Matteo Moretto explained the challenge facing Juventus, saying, “Because the figures Newcastle are asking for and the figures English clubs are willing to spend are figures that are out of the market for Italy. So let’s say that Juventus, at this moment, I’m not saying they’re out of the running, because negotiations haven’t started yet, but €90-100 million is unlikely to be spent in Italy these days.” .

Juventus already consider permanent Boga transfer for less than 5m Juventus are happy with Jeremie Boga’s performances so far and are considering making his move permanent for less than €5m. Juventus are satisfied with the impact of their January signing Boga, as the ex-Sassuolo and Atalanta winger has scored two goals and provided one assist in seven appearances as a substitute. ............ The Ivory Coast international moved to the Allianz Stadium on loan with an option to buy from OGC Nice on the winter transfer window deadline day, and the Serie A giants can make his move permanent for just €4.8m. Boga’s convincing performances so far and the favourable financial conditions of the deal have already convinced Juventus to consider his permanent transfer. ............ Boga’s permanent transfer would also be affordable in terms of salary, as the 29-year-old would earn between €1.5m and €2m. Before joining Juventus, Boga had not played a competitive match since November 30. ............ “It was a bad moment for my family and me. I still can’t go through the details, but I spent two months alone at home with my fitness coach and my wife,” Boga said in his first interview as a Juventus player in February. “It was a bad moment, but now I’m happy to be out of that situation. “Juventus saved me. It’s been a blessing.” . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/juventus-boga-permanent-transfer-less-5m/

Spalletti considering two options to replace David in Udinese vs Juventus Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti could finally decide to drop Jonathan David from his starting lineup, as two alternative options emerge. The Canadian international has been the club’s first-choice striker since Dusan Vlahovic’s injury in late November. ............ Following another sub-par display against Pisa, Spalletti could be tempted to drop David, especially after watching the team’s positive reaction in the second half. The Bianconeri fired blanks in the first period, but they scored four goals after the Canadian’s halftime exit. The Juventus manager could thus decide to rely on a false 9 in Udine, with two options emerging for that role. ............ With David hauled off on Saturday, Kenan Yildiz was entrusted with the task of spearheading the line. The Turkish international did well in his more advanced role, creating the assist for Andrea Cambiaso’s opener, before scoring the third himself to hit double figures across all competitions. If Yildiz is the club’s leading goalscorer this season, Weston McKennie isn’t too far behind, having scored eight in all competitions. The extremely versatile Texan has featured in a variety of roles this season, including a centre-forward. Spalletti had even praised his ability to hold up the ball and bring others into the play. If either Yildiz or McKennie starts as a striker against Udinese, Jeremie Boga would be the favourite to replace David in the starting lineup. The Ivorian winger has been making impressive contributions off the bench, but he has yet to start a match since joining Juventus in February. ............ .

Vlahovic willing to accept halved salary to stay at Juventus A source in the Italian media claims Dusan Vlahovic is so eager to stay at Juventus that he’s willing to accept a significant pay cut. The two parties had several rounds of negotiations in the past, but they were never able to find common ground. ............ Nevertheless, the recent days witnessed a surprising U-turn. Apparently, the player and the club have both assessed their options, and concluded that prolonging their collaboration is the best way to go. ............ As reported over the weekend, the striker’s father, Milos Vlahovic, and his agent, Darko Ristic, arrived in Turin ahead of a new round of negotiations. It has also been revealed that Juventus have offered Vlahovic a yearly net salary of €6 million per season, which constitutes half of his current wages (€12 million). The Bianconeri have recently set a new wage ceiling at €7 million, which is the salary granted to Kenan Yildiz, who renewed his contract last month. ............ Similar to his teammates Yildiz and Weston McKennie, the Serbian striker appears intrigued by the opportunity to play under Luciano Spalletti. The Tuscan manager has a prominent track record when it comes to developing players and help them reach their full potential. ............ .

Graziani tells Spalletti to give Yildiz ‘Messi-like’ role, slams Juventus struggler: “He’s finished” Italian football legend Ciccio Graziani believes Juventus star Kenan Yildiz should be used in a free role like Lionel Messi. ............ All of the Juventus head coaches saw Yildiz suited to this role due to his ability to dribble past his marker, cut to the middle and either pick up a teammate or go straight for goal. Nevertheless, Graziani argues that Yildiz has the sort of talent that exceeds tactical systems and positional roles. ............ “I wouldn’t put a talent like Yildiz in a specific role,” said the 73-year-old in his interview. “I’d tell him, ‘Go play wherever you want, go find space, a bit like Messi. Go find your own spot, I don’t care where. And if I see you on my half of the pitch, I’ll fine you.'” On the contrary, Graziani didn’t have any pleasant words to say when discussing Jonathan David, who has been struggling for goals and form this season. ............ “Today, he’s neither here nor there, and it’s hard to understand why, considering he came from the French league, where he scored over 90 goals. “This player is having so many difficulties in our league. But if there were still any need for confirmation, and there isn’t, after that match (against Pisa), David is finished.” “Because in a game like the one in Pisa, when it’s 0-0, and the team is struggling a bit, the coach ends up taking off the centre-forward to bring on Yildiz.” Spalletti removed David following a disappointing first half, brought in Jeremie Boga to play as a left winger, and switched Yildiz to the striker, in a manoeuvre that paid dividends, as proven by the final result. “All things considered, Yildiz can play that role very well: he starts deeper, moves around, and doesn’t give defenders any reference points. But it’s an incredible rejection for David, a very strong one.” . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/graziani-spalletti-yildiz-messi-juventus/

Juventus player ratings vs Pisa: Delightful Conceicao, Unstoppable Yildiz Juventus put an end to their four-match winless run in emphatic fashion, beating the sorry Pisa by four unanswered goals at the Allianz Stadium in Turin. The Bianconeri dominated the action in the first half, but they lacked the final touch. After the break, they rapidly found the opener through Andrea Cambiaso, before doubling their lead with a Khephren Thuram rebound. Kenan Yildiz broke his goal-drought with a superb finish, and Jeremie Boga capped off a marvellous second half by scoring the fourth goal with the last kick of the match. ............ Juventus (3-4-2-1) Mattia Perin – 6.5 The newly-appointed Juventus No.1 was a bystander for the bulk of the evening, but he had to pull off a spectacular save early on to prevent a shocking Pisa opener. Pierre Kalulu – 7 ............ Federico Gatti – 5.5 The Italian defender looked shaky at the back, as he almost cost Juventus with two near blunders. Luciano Spalletti took him off at half-time before he could cause damage. Gleison Bremer – 6.5 ............ Weston MeKennie – 6.5 ............ Manuel Locatelli – 7.5 The Juventus captain instigated Thuram’s strike after hitting the post with a low drive. His inch-perfect through ball for Boga allowed his old Sassuolo teammate to open his account at the Allianz Stadium. Khephren Thuram – 7.5 The Frenchman bossed the middle of the park and kept his composure to poach the second goal on the rebound, making it look easier than it was. Andrea Cambiaso – 7 While it wasn’t exactly vintage Cambiaso, the left-back had the tactical awareness to place himself at the back post, knowing that Yildiz was going to find him. Almost scored a second goal with a sublime curler. Francisco Conceicao – 8 A superb display from the Portuguese winger, who was an absolute menace for Pisa’s defenders. He wreaked havoc with his pace and dribbles, instigated the opener, and provided the assist for Yildiz. Kenan Yildiz – 8.5 A sensational outing from the Turkish star, who ran circles around the helpless Pisa defenders. His clever square ball granted Cambiaso the easiest of goals, while his excellent strike showed he can be devastating when playing as a striker. Jonathan David – 5 ............ Substitutes Jeremie Boga – 7 Another impressive cameo from the Ivorian, who wasted a couple of inviting chances, but eventually scored a lovely goal with the last kick of the match after skipping past the goalkeeper. Lloyd Kelly – 6.5 ............ Fabio Miretti – N/A Teun Koopmeiners – N/A Filip Kostic – N/A .
