Platini not sure Kenan Yildiz best represents a Juventus 10 Juventus legend Michel Platini feels coach Igor Tudor is not getting the best out of Kenan Yildiz. ‘You’d have to ask the coaches why they do that, not me.’ The former player and ex President of UEFA was a guest at the Festival dello Sport in Trento this evening, where he was interviewed on stage. ............ “Alessandro Del Piero, he was a great player, and one of the icons of Juventus,” replied Platini. Paul Pogba was also given the shirt, but had even fewer of the necessary characteristics for this position. “He has good technique, but he’s a midfielder, not a Number 10.” ............ Although Yildiz is very creative, his positioning under Tudor has raised a few eyebrows so far this season. “Nobody puts a Number 10 in the centre now, but on the wings. You’d have to ask coaches why they do that, not me,” shrugged Platini. ............ . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/platini-kenan-yildiz-represents-juventus-10/

Not just Chelsea – Man Utd planning €90m onslaught on Juventus star Juventus attacker Kenan Yildiz continues to be linked with some of the biggest clubs in the Premier League, as Manchester United are reportedly plotting a swoop. ............ While Juventus have been desperate to tie Yildiz down with a new and improved contract, the two parties haven’t been able to reach the finish line just yet. There’s still a gap between the club’s offer and the player’s demands, and while Juventus remain optimistic about reaching a deal, Chelsea and Barcelona are looking to pounce on the situation and lure the player away from Turin. ............ Man Utd have also been bewitched by the young man’s talent, and they’re even willing to put €90 million to bring him to Old Trafford. ............ The source also confirms Arsenal’s interest in Yildiz. As we reported on Sunday, the Gunners sent scouts to the Allianz Stadium to watch the young man in action against Milan. Nevertheless, the report reckons that the Juventus star isn’t keen to leave Continassa anytime soon, as he remains happy and comfortable with his place in Turin. ............ .

Three reasons behind David’s Juventus struggles ............ Coach Igor Tudor has rotated his strikers this term and the sudden competition for a starting spot in attack is one of the reasons why the Canadian has been struggling in the first few games in Turin. Dusan Vlahovic was expected to leave, but ended up staying at the Allianz Stadium, while Lois Openda joined the club on deadline day. David is also facing a tactical issue, given that his former club Lille, played attacking football and strongly relied on his link-up abilities. The reality at Juventus is quite different as the Bianconeri aim to produce attacking football, but are currently struggling to produce goal-scoring opportunities, and David is rarely involved. ............ Surely, however, there’s a matter of timing that must be considered too. David showed in the past that he needs a few weeks to settle in. Back at Gent, his first European club, he found the net in his Europa League playoff debut, but didn’t score the first league goal until December. The same happened at Lille, when he netted his first goal in a competitive match three months after joining the club. ............ .

Bremer determined to recover for Como clash as he resumes training early Juventus will resume their Serie A campaign with an encounter against Como, and Gleison Bremer is hellbent on earning a call-up. ............ Luckily for Bremer, the international break has given him the opportunity to restore his powers and get himself back in shape. The former Torino star has decided to cut his break short to resume training. Tudor granted four days off to the players who remained in Turin during the international break. However, Bremer only took a couple of days off before returning to Continassa two days ahead of schedule. ............ This gesture depicts the player’s tenacious approach, as he’s determined to recover in time for Juve’s next Serie A fixture. The Bianconeri will head to Como on October 19 for Sunday’s early Serie A kickoff to take on Cesc Fabregas’ band, who have now cemented themselves as one of the rising forces in Serie A. ............ .

Through six games, Juventus have the same amount of points as they did last season It was a little less than month ago in which I posted an article on this here website with the following title: “This is Juventus’ best start to a Serie A season since the last year of Max Allegri 1.0.” It was a result of three straight wins to start the 2025-26 season, with the most recent of which coming in the wild 4-3 victory over Inter Milan in the first Derby d’Italia of the new campaign. ............ Igor Tudor’s squad have recorded three consecutive draws following the thrilling win over Inter last month, with five straight draws in all competitions being one of the biggest sticking points as we sit here in the early days of the October international break. And with those draws comes this little piece of information that is not the best of omens when it comes to things: it’s the fact that Juve now have just as many points as they did last season with Thiago Motta through the first six Serie A fixtures. ............ Juventus points under Thiago Motta through the first six Serie A games: 12 Juventus points under Igor Tudor through the first six Serie A games: 12 ............ A lot like last season, the race for the top four and one of Italy’s Champions League spots is going to be a heated battle. Napoli aren’t showing signs of slowing down during the early days of their title defense. Roma, AC Milan and Inter — all clubs with new coaches — are sitting second through fourth, respectively. Juventus are just ahead of one of the clubs in which one of their five straight draws in all competitions came against, Atalanta. Sure, it’s just six games and things can change quickly this time of the season, but things are already crowded at the top of the table. The last thing Juventus can afford is to continue to drop points and fall even further behind not just the league leaders but also the other contenders for the top four. ............ .

Juventus target Molina and Norton-Cuffy for January Juventus will be looking for a new right wing-back in the January transfer window, and reports in Italy suggest the Bianconeri are interested in Nahuel Molina and Brooke Norton-Cuffy. Juventus will need to add a new right wing-back to their squad in the January transfer window, as Pierre Kalulu has been playing out of position on the flank in the opening games of the campaign. ............ Molina remains a target for the Old Lady even if the Argentine snubbed a move to Turin over the summer. The ex-Udinese defender opted to stay in the Spanish capital not to lose a spot in the Argentina national team for the World Cup, but, ironically, he’s been struggling for playing time this season. ............ Norton-Cuffy is a Juventus target for the winter transfer window, as the versatile English defender has been brought to Genoa by Marco Ottolini, who could become the new Juventus sporting director in the coming weeks. .

Juventus prepare January onslaught for Molina who already regretted summer snub Juventus have rekindled their interest in Atletico Madrid right-back Nahuel Molina who turned down the opportunity to join them in the summer. The Bianconeri will be keen to bolster their wingback department, especially the right side, as Igor Tudor has been deploying Pierre Kalulu, a central defender by trade, in this particular role. ............ Last summer, Molina was expected to join Juventus when his compatriot Nico Gonzalez headed in the opposite direction. However, the move never materialised. The 27-year-old preferred to stay at Diego Simeone’s court, as he didn’t want to jeopardise his place in the Argentine national team with a ‘risky’ move to Turin, especially with the World Cup looming on the horizon. Nevertheless, Molina’s decision backfired, as he now finds himself an afterthought at Atletico. ............ The 2022 World Cup winner has earned only just over 150 minutes of playing time across all competitions this season. Molina is now ready to reconsider his options, and a move to Juventus would be beneficial for both parties. ............ .

Biasin urges Tudor to differentiate himself from Motta One of the main criticisms levelled at Juventus during Thiago Motta’s tenure was his inability to establish and maintain a consistent starting line-up. The men in black and white possessed a deep and talented squad, yet Motta often emphasised that he did not have a fixed team. Instead, he preferred to select players based on their performances in training before each match, a philosophy that ultimately contributed to his downfall. Igor Tudor now appears to be following a similar path. The former midfielder is facing increasing pressure to find stability within his team selections. ............ A lack of continuity can affect cohesion, rhythm, and confidence within a squad. While healthy competition for places is essential, excessive experimentation often disrupts the chemistry needed for a successful campaign. Juventus’s recent performances suggest that the team has struggled to develop a clear identity on the pitch, a problem that echoes the issues seen under Motta. ............ Journalist Fabrizio Biasin has called on Tudor to demonstrate leadership by committing to a clear tactical vision and a regular starting eleven. He stated: “Now, a Juve that’s content can’t be a ‘real Juve,’ and everyone has to understand that. The rest depends on the choices: for too long, it’s been difficult to remember a Juventus starting eleven. And this situation has always been synonymous with uncertainty. To escape the chaos and the disturbing similarities to Motta’s management, Coach Tudor should name his starting eleven and, above all, choose a starting striker.” ............ .

Chelsea & Barca dreaming of signing Juventus top star as contract talks stall Juventus are still unable to conclude contract renewal talks with Kenan Yildiz and his entourage, leaving the door open to Chelsea and Barcelona. The 20-year-old has only been a member of the Bianconeri’s first team for two years, but has already cemented himself as the ultimate star of the squad. ............ Last summer, Yildiz signed a new contract with Juventus, valid until 2029, that elevated his salary to €1.5 million. Nevertheless, this figure doesn’t represent his vast importance to the cause, especially when compared to his teammates’ wages. The Serie A giants are aiming to triple the attacker’s paycheck, offering him a yearly net salary of €4.5 million. Nevertheless, Kenan’s father, Engen Yildiz, is pushing for slightly higher numbers, one that match the salaries of some of the club’s top earners, namely Gleison Bremer (€5 million) or Jonathan David (€6 million), who are only behind Dusan Vlahovic, who famously earns a monstrous €12 million. ............ In the meantime, a couple of European giants are hoping to pounce on the situation and seize the opportunity to lure Yildiz away from Turin. Like several other Premier League giants, Chelsea have been following the youngster’s development for years, even offering the Bianconeri €70 million in the summer. ............ Barcelona could enter the fray. The Blaugrana’s squad already boasts some of the best youngsters in the world, and chief among them is Lamine Yamal. Nevertheless, they would still love to add Yildiz to their ranks and launch a super-attack. ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/chelsea-barcelona-dreaming-kenan-yildiz-coup-juventus/

What is Juventus stance on Igor Tudor after five draws? After five consecutive draws, attention has turned to Juventus as speculation grows over how the club will respond to their manager’s current situation. Igor Tudor, well aware of the pressures that accompany such a high-profile position, finds himself under scrutiny as his team struggles to secure victories. For a club with Juventus’s ambitions, a prolonged period without wins is always cause for concern. ............ At the Allianz Stadium, there is a collective desire to see a turnaround in performances. The international break has provided Tudor with valuable time to reassess his approach, work on the team’s weaknesses, and attempt to reignite their early-season momentum. The Croatian manager, a former midfielder himself, understands that results must improve if he is to maintain his position at the helm. Despite growing frustration among supporters, internal sources suggest that Juventus’s hierarchy remains patient. The club has made no decision regarding Tudor’s future, choosing instead to back him as the right man to lead the project. The management believes that with time and focus, the team can overcome this difficult spell and return to winning ways. ............ For Tudor and his players, the upcoming fixtures are likely to prove decisive. A strong response after the international break could restore confidence and stabilise the situation, while continued inconsistency would inevitably increase pressure on the coaching staff. ............ .

Oscar Damiani calls for patience with Jonathan David After averaging more than 20 goals per season across five years with Lille, Jonathan David completed a highly anticipated move to Juventus this season. His arrival was met with considerable excitement, as many believed the Bianconeri had secured a prolific striker capable of leading their attack. Given his impressive record in one of Europe’s top five leagues, expectations were understandably high from both supporters and club officials. ............ However, David’s early performances have not yet lived up to those expectations. The Canadian international has struggled to replicate his clinical form from Ligue 1, prompting calls from some quarters for him to be dropped from the starting line-up. Juventus currently possess alternative attacking options, including Dusan Vlahovic, who has been the most effective of their forwards so far. ............ Oscar Damiani has called for greater patience and understanding regarding David’s situation. Damiani said, “It’s still too early to label David: let’s give him time. We’re talking about a player who has always scored more than 20 goals a season in France: his average is too high, he doesn’t stop scoring overnight. His difficulties are normal, I’d dare say typical of those who leave Ligue 1 for Serie A. There’s a cultural difference, first and foremost, in terms of daily habits, but also on the pitch, it’s a real pain for strikers. In France, they rarely double up on you. In Italy, it happens regularly, to everyone. And David is certainly a feared player.” ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/oscar-damiani-calls-for-patience-with-jonathan-david/

Juventus plotting January move for Bayern Munich defender Reports in Italy claim that Juventus are targeting a move for versatile Bayern Munich full-back Raphael Guerreiro during the January transfer window as Igor Tudor looks to bolster his options out wide. ............ The feeling is, however, that Juventus are currently slightly short in their wing-back department, where Andrea Cambiaso, Joao Mario and Juan Cabal are the only natural options. Weston McKennie, a central midfielder by trade, and centre-back Pierre Kalulu have also been covering out wide on numerous occasions this season. In an effort to provide Tudor with more options at wing-back, Juventus will look to secure a low-cost deal for Bayern Munich’s Guerreiro in January according to Wednesday’s reports. ............ Guerreiro has only appeared off the bench for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga this season, and Wednesday’s reports claim that the Bavarians will be willing to let him leave in January in order to avoid losing him for free at the end of the campaign. ............ .

Agent reveals what it means for Rugani that he still plays for Juventus Daniele Rugani was handed a starting role in Juventus’ recent clash against AC Milan, following his substitute appearance in the preceding fixture against Villarreal. Having returned from a loan spell at Ajax last season, the Italian defender appears to be gradually earning the confidence of head coach Igor Tudor. His inclusion in the starting line-up has also been facilitated by the injury to Gleison Bremer, which has opened opportunities for him to feature more regularly. ............ Rugani’s time at Juventus has not always been straightforward. Throughout his tenure, he has faced competition from world-class defenders and has spent several periods out on loan to gain experience and playing time. Yet, despite the challenges, he has consistently maintained a positive attitude and readiness to serve the team whenever called upon. His perseverance and loyalty have earned him admiration from coaches and supporters alike. ............ His agent, Davide Torchia, spoke about Rugani’s ongoing commitment and what it means for him to remain part of Juventus’s plans. Torchia stated: “It’s always a source of immense pride, and for Daniele it’s truly a personal satisfaction. It was his childhood dream, he feels Juve inside him, and staying here makes him happy every day. You can play for one, two, or three years, be good or just pass through, but wearing this jersey for so long means he’s fully embodying what a club like Juventus demands.” ............ .

Juventus criticised for their approach to the AC Milan game Juventus endured another frustrating evening as they were held to a goalless draw by AC Milan before the international break, a result that could easily have gone against them. Despite a bright start to the season, the men in black and white are now without a win in five consecutive matches, a concerning trend for a side of their stature. ............ Following the match, Juventus’s tactical approach drew criticism from former FIGC executive Antonello Valentini, who voiced his disappointment in strong terms. He remarked: “I was quite disappointed by Juventus’s lacklustre performance. This isn’t the proactive attitude a team aiming for the top of the table should have. They narrowly avoided defeat, given that Gatti almost scored, Pulisic missed a penalty, and Leao wasted two great chances. On points, Milan deserved to win. Juventus took a point, but they’re not the team the fans expect, so much so that they ended up booing them.” His remarks reflect the growing frustration among supporters who demand higher standards from their team. ............ As one of Italy’s most successful clubs, Juventus is expected to compete consistently at the highest level. Their recent performances, however, have fallen short of those expectations. ............ .

Who is Marco Ottolini? Juventus links, previous signings and biggest sales Wednesday’s reports claim that Genoa’s Marco Ottolini is currently the leading candidate to take over as the new sporting director at Juventus, but who is the Grifone executive, where has he worked previously, and who have been his biggest signings to date? Ottolini is a 45-year-old scout turned sporting director, originally from Brescia. ............ He went on to work as an agent, intermediary and consultant for over a decade, before joining RSC Anderlecht of the Jupiler Pro League as an international scout. ............ From 2018, Ottolini began his first stint with Juventus. He held several roles with the Bianconeri the first time around, initially as a scout, before being promoted to the role of loans manager in 2021. After a year managing the on-loan Juventus players, Ottolini earned his first job as a sporting director, joining Genoa at the start of the 2022-23 season. ............ .

Ottolini emerges as favourite candidate for Juventus sporting director role Juventus have been looking for a new sporting director since last summer, and according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Ottolini, who is covering the same role at Genoa, is currently the leading candidate at the Allianz Stadium. ............ François Modesto was appointed as Juventus’ technical director a few months ago, so the new sporting director is the last missing piece to complete the Bianconeri’s control room. ............ Romano says that Ottolini is not the only option for the Bianconeri, but he’s currently the favourite one. ............ .

Bayern Munich asked about a move for Dusan Vlahovic Dusan Vlahovic has become the subject of renewed transfer interest from Bayern Munich, with reports suggesting that Juventus may be open to selling the Serbian striker during the January window. Despite his recent contributions to the team, financial considerations and his contract situation could influence the Bianconeri’s decision. ............ Bayern Munich has made initial enquiries regarding a possible January transfer for Vlahovic. The German champions reportedly wish to confirm the player’s availability before advancing negotiations. Bayern’s search for a high-quality centre-forward continues, and Vlahovic’s blend of strength, finishing ability, and tactical intelligence makes him a fitting target. From Juventus’ perspective, financial factors could play a decisive role. ............ However, selling Vlahovic would carry sporting risks. The striker remains a key contributor, and losing him could weaken the team’s attacking options, potentially affecting their form for the remainder of the campaign. ............ .

Causio suggests even Guardiola would struggle with this team Franco Causio has expressed his disappointment with Juventus’ performances this season, as the Bianconeri continue to struggle for consistency. Traditionally regarded as one of the strongest clubs in Serie A, Juventus carry high expectations every campaign. This term began with the team considered one of the favourites to claim the title, but early signs suggest that translating potential into victories has been more challenging than anticipated. ............ Despite maintaining an unbeaten start to the season, Juventus have not won enough matches to establish themselves at the summit of the league table. The current squad is widely regarded as one of the strongest in Serie A, yet Causio argues that the team lacks the decisive quality required to secure silverware. Fans remain hopeful, but the Bianconeri must overcome inconsistency and convert opportunities into results if they are to compete seriously for trophies this season. Causio also raised questions about the limits faced by manager Igor Tudor. He suggested that even highly esteemed coaches would struggle without exceptional players: “Is he (Igor Tudor) up to the task? If he has good players, he can become good. Even Guardiola would have struggled without talent. The coach has tactical orders to execute, but everything can’t depend on his decisions.” ............ Causio’s observations highlight the dual challenges of tactical execution and player quality. While Tudor has the strategic framework to guide the team, the absence of game-changing talent at critical moments has hindered Juventus’ ability to convert potential into consistent results. The manager must rely on his squad to rise to the occasion, while the players themselves must deliver individual brilliance alongside collective discipline. ............ .

Journalist reveals one key attribute the current Juventus team has Juventus are experiencing difficulties across several competitions, and the men in black and white recognise that their team has room for improvement. Despite avoiding defeats in recent matches, Juve appear to have lost their winning touch, a situation that has raised concern among both supporters and analysts. ............ Despite the lack of victories, there are signs of progress within the squad that suggest potential for improvement. Journalist Guido Vaciago has highlighted one key area where Juventus have evolved. Calling for more time for the manager and a few changes to the squad, Vaciago remarked, “One thing that should be saved, for example, is the team’s more mature attitude compared to last year. This factor may be subtle, but it impacts the results: Juventus always stays in the game, even when a lack of balance causes them to struggle (see the matches against Inter and Borussia), and they have the ability to react, to fight until the last minute.” ............ Vaciago’s comments reflect a growing belief that stability and patience could be crucial for Juventus as they navigate this challenging phase. While the lack of wins is troubling, the team’s resilience and willingness to fight until the end of matches are positive indicators of their mental strength. ............ .

Igor Tudor has no plans to bench misfiring Juventus star Since joining Juventus in the summer, Jonathan David has faced challenges in adapting to life at the club, prompting calls from some quarters for him to be dropped from the starting XI. The Canadian striker enjoyed considerable success at Lille, where he completed his contract before moving to Juventus as a free agent. ............ Manager Igor Tudor has no plans to remove David from the team. Tudor remains convinced that the striker will reach his best form and is prepared to persist with him in the starting lineup. The manager believes that, with time and consistent opportunities, David possesses all the qualities necessary to thrive in black and white. ............ Tudor’s commitment to David reflects a broader strategy of patience and development. By maintaining faith in the Canadian forward, he aims to allow him to settle fully into Serie A and build the confidence needed to succeed at the highest level. Juventus are prepared to support David’s progression, hoping that his talent will soon translate into goals and decisive performances for the team. ............ .
