Manchester United rejects the chance to sign Juventus star Juventus and Dusan Vlahovic are currently exploring options for the striker’s future, as the Serbian international seeks a club where he can secure regular playing time in the upcoming season. With his contract set to expire next summer, the situation has become increasingly urgent for all parties involved. ............ Among the few clubs with the financial strength to complete a transfer of this magnitude is Manchester United. The English side are reportedly in the market for a striker, and their primary target has been Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig. However Manchester United have declined the opportunity to sign Vlahovic, despite being in a position to meet Juventus’ valuation. ............ Vlahovic will continue to compete for Juventus in the short term, but with his future unresolved, the club must work swiftly to identify a new solution. ............ .

Three Juventus outcasts could end up at Besiktas this summer Besiktas could offer Juventus a large hand in their quest to offload their fringe players, as the Turkish giants are reportedly interested in three unwanted Bianconeri. ............ The Istanbul-based giants have witnessed their blood rivals Galatasaray and Fenerbahce making waves on the market, so they’ll be looking to strengthen Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s ranks with quality players to remain competitive. The first name on the list is Arthur Melo, who hasn’t featured for Juventus in a competitive fixture since 2022. ............ The second Juventus player mentioned in the report is Tiago Djalo who is coming off a disappointing loan spell at Porto. ............ Finally, Arkadiusz Milik has been out of action since suffering a knee injury in June 2024. ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/juventus-milik-djalo-arthur-besiktas/

Tudor will have the final say on the future Juventus midfielder Juventus are currently negotiating with Napoli for the possible transfer of Fabio Miretti, but Igor Tudor will hold the final word on the matter. ............ In recent days, the two clubs were said to be closing in on a final agreement, with Napoli reducing the gap between their offer and Juve’s asking price. The Southerners are reportedly willing to pay a maximum of €15 million, while Damien Comolli is hoping to drive the figure up, as he did in the negotiations with Olympique Marseille for Timothy Weah. But Juventus are also waiting for a final answer from Tudor who has been keeping a close eye on Miretti in pre-season. ............ Tudor gave Miretti a starting role in the first friendly of the summer against Reggiana, suggesting that he plans to put him to the test before passing a final judgement. Nevertheless, the source notes that the Italian’s playing role could raise an issue. Miretti ideally plays as a box-to-box midfielder in a three-man midfield. But in Tudor’s 3-4-2-1 formation, he would have to either adjust to playing in the double pivot, or as an attacking midfielder, a role he performed last season under Patrick Vieira. .

New Koopmeiners role at Juventus can transform strategy Juventus are trying to revitalise Teun Koopmeiners after a dismal debut season by taking him back to a deeper midfield role, similar to the one he had with Atalanta. The Netherlands international arrived last summer as a huge investment, costing €58.4m plus bonuses to poach from Bergamo. ............ Tudor is now experimenting with a tweak that could give Koopmeiners greater control and make the most of his characteristics. He struggled as a trequartista behind the striker, either in a 3-4-2-1 formation or the 4-2-3-1 system. The plan therefore is to pull Koopmeiners back into a deeper midfield role, where he can dictate the tempo and spray passes for his teammates. ............ In the most recent friendly outing against Reggiana, Fabio Miretti was used in the trequartista slot, with Koopmeiners joining Manuel Locatelli in the two-man midfield. .

Tudor trials two Juventus tactics ahead of Borussia Dortmund test Juventus are currently in Germany to continue their pre-season preparations and head coach Igor Tudor has reportedly tested two different systems ahead of an upcoming friendly against Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund. The Bianconeri have two more pre-season friendlies on their fixture list ahead of their Serie A opener against Parma on August 24, firstly against Bundesliga giants Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park on Sunday, and then against Atalanta in Bergamo the following weekend. ............ Tudor has tested two different formations during the early sessions of the team’s training camp in Germany. ............ First is the 3-4-2-1 that Tudor typically employed during his first few months in charge at the back end of the 2024-25 season, and second was a slightly different set-up, in a 4-2-3-1, similar to how Thiago Motta used to line up before his dismissal last season. Both systems have seen summer signing Jonathan David start as the sole centre-forward. The 4-2-3-1 saw Kenan Yildiz star in his preferred role as the ‘no.10’, with room for the likes of Francisco Conceicao and Teun Koopmeiners to play in supporting trequartista roles either side of him. ............ .

Juventus expect to complete fourth summer signing this week after making breakthrough Juventus are closing in on sealing an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain for the transfer of Randal Kolo Muani. The Bianconeri have already poached the services of Jonathan David on a free transfer, brought back Francisco Conceicao on a permanent basis, and also signed Joao Mario from Porto while sending Alberto Costa in the opposite direction. ............ Damien Comolli and Co. have clearly identified Kolo Muani as their preferred target to fill in the void upfront, as the latter managed to convince Igor Tudor during his loan spell last season. ............ The Old Lady may have finally found a breakthrough in the negotiations. The two parties are ironing out the last details in an agreement that would see Kolo Muani join Juventus on loan for €10-15 million, with an obligation to buy set at circa €30 million. ............ Juventus now expect to finalise Kolo Muani’s move this week, and have him at Tudor’s disposal on Monday, August 11th, when the team returns from the training camp in Germany. ............ .

Juventus lining up O’Riley and Bissouma as Hjulmand’s alternatives Juventus are still determined to find a way to sign Sporting CP captain Morten Hjulmand, but are simultaneously keeping an eye on several other midfield targets, including two Premier League stars. The Bianconeri have identified Hjulmand as the main target to bolster Igor Tudor’s midfield department. ............ Hjulmand has already said yes to Juve’s proposal, so the club must now negotiate a deal with Sporting who are only willing to offload the 26-year-old for a transfer fee worth €60 million (the figure inserted in his release clause), while the Bianconeri are only willing to offer €40 million. ............ Juventus are following several other midfielders whom they consider fallback options in case they fail in their mission to sign Hjulmand. ............ The source mentions another Denmark international in Matt O’Riley, a 24-year-old Fulham youth product who made a name for himself at Celtic before moving to Brighton last summer. However, he remains tied to the Seagulls with a contract running until 2029. On the other hand, Tottenham’s Yves Bissouma represents a more affordable option, given that his deal with the Spurs will expire next season. The 28-year-old Mali international is renowned for his strong physical presence and seamless ability to win back possession. ............ .

Capello explains why Allegri wants Vlahovic at Milan: “He knows what he’s doing” Retired Italian football manager Fabio Capello reveals the reasons that prompted Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri to pursue Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic. The Rossoneri are currently searching the market for a new centre-forward after parting ways with Luka Jovic and Tammy Abraham, leaving Santiago Gimenez as their solitary marksman. ............ During their time together in Turin, many things were said and written about the rapport between Vlahovic and Allegri, with many blaming the latter for the striker’s stalled development following his move from Fiorentina. Nevertheless, the Livorno native has been the striker’s main sponsor at Milanello, as he relishes a reunion with his old pupil. Hence, Capello insists that Allegri want Vlahovic at his disposal as he deems his characteristics ideal for his playing style. “It’s certainly not on a whim; Allegri is not that kind of coach,” said the former Milan, Juventus and Real Madrid manager. “Instead, I believe Max is convinced he needs an out-and-out striker who operates well in the box, rather than a ball collector. ............ “Dusan struggled to communicate with his teammates at Juve, but if he gets a good ball, he knows what he’s doing. The Livorno-born coach probably thinks the Rossoneri are already capable of developing their play and just need a reliable striker to convert those chances into goals. “We should remember that the Serbian is only 25 years old. He hasn’t yet reached the peak of his physical and mental maturity. Milan, thanks to his ups and downs at Juve, can sign him on favourable terms.” ............ .

Swap deal brewing as Milan offer Juventus a defender in exchange for Vlahovic Milan are still determined to sign Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, and they believe they can recruit him through a swap deal. ............ The Rossoneri’s interest in the former Fiorentina star mostly stems from Massimiliano Allegri’s presence, the manager who had also asked Juventus to sign him in January 2022. However, the player’s hefty wages remain the main stumbling block to Milan’s plans. ............ Malick Thiaw doesn’t seem to be at the heart of Allegri’s plans. However, the 23-year-old had shown promising signs in the past, especially during Stefano Pioli’s tenure. ............ Juventus have set their asking price for Vlahovic at €20 million, a figure that is just enough to prevent a capital loss on a player who was bought for over €80 million back in 2022. As for Thiaw, his estimated value is at €15 million, so the two clubs are now working on finding a formula. The report also reveals that the Rossoneri are willing to offer other fringe players if Thiaw doesn’t entice Juventus. This includes 27-year-old Algerian midfielder Ismael Bennacer. .

Kolo Muani rejected Man Utd & Spurs offers as he only wants Juventus Paris Saint-Germain wantaway Randal Kolo Muani only has eyes for Juventus, so he has reportedly turned down all other proposals. ............ Aside from the transitional period that followed the managerial change at Juventus, Kolo Muani was favoured over Dusan Vlahovic by both Thiago Motta and Igor Tudor. However, the striker returned to Paris following the expiry of his loan stint. Nevertheless, everyone at Juventus have been keen to find a new agreement with the European giants to bring Kolo Muani back to Turin. ............ In the meantime, other suitors have emerged, trying to seize the opportunity to overtake Juventus in the race. But Kolo Muani has already rejected the approaches of two Premier League clubs, namely Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur. ............ .

Done deal – Juventus & Marseille finally reach agreement on Tim Weah After several weeks of negotiations, Juventus and Olympique Marseille have seemingly reached the finish line, finding an agreement for the transfer of Timothy Weah. ............ In recent weeks, Juventus and OM have been engaged in direct talks. However, the negotiations witnessed several twists and turns, much to the dismay of Weah’s agent who accused an unnamed Juventus official of acting ‘vengefully’ when the Italian giants decided to raise their initial asking price. Nevertheless, Juve’s manoeuvre has seemingly paid dividends, as the two clubs have now reached an accord with the Old Lady getting favourable terms. According to several sources in Italy and France Weah will join Marseille on loan with an obligation to buy. The Ligue 1 giants will pay €1 million in loan fees, while the player’s purchase will cost them another €14 million, in addition to €5 million in bonuses. Moreover, Juventus will receive a sell-on fee in case of a future resale, but the percentage remains unknown. Therefore, Weah is now expected to leave the Bianconeri’s training camp in Germany and head to France to finalise the transfer. ............ .
