Juventus receive major Yildiz boost ahead of Atalanta showdown Juventus star Kenan Yildiz will join the team on the trip to Bergamo for the Coppa Italia quarter-final clash against Atalanta. Last Sunday, the Turkish forward felt some discomfort during the first half of the Serie A contest against Parma. ............ After the Ennio Tardini contest, Luciano Spalletti offered a reassuring update, insisting that the player did not suffer a serious injury. Therefore, the 20-year-old didn’t undergo any clinical tests at the J|Medical Centre, as the doctors felt that a few days of rest and physiotherapy sessions were sufficient in his case. ............ However, the youngster is recovering faster than expected. ............ Yildiz will be expected to start on the bench, with Miretti the favourite to fill in for him alongside Weston McKennie and Francisco Conceicao, who should act as the supporting trio behind the striker. Therefore, Spalletti might be able to resort to his services if required. On the other hand, if the team isn’t chasing a result in the second half, he will likely be given the night off. ............ .

Preview: Atalanta BC vs Juventus - prediction, team news, lineups Clashing in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals, Atalanta BC and Juventus will meet in Bergamo on Thursday evening. After Juve beat La Dea to lift the trophy for a 15th time in 2024, this time they are vying for a semi-final tie against either Lazio or holders Bologna. Match preview For all their recent success - most notably winning the Europa League - Atalanta's sole national cup triumph dates all the way back to 1963. ............ Atalanta may have won seven of nine home matches under ex-Juventus winger Palladino, who now welcomes his former club to Bergamo, but Juve have been busy with their own revival. ............ Much has changed since the sides played out a 1-1 league draw in September, with both clubs changing their head coach to great effect. One of Luciano Spalletti's first wins as Bianconeri boss came in the previous round of the Coppa Italia, where Juve beat Udinese 2-0 in Turin. Following that success in early December, they have grown in confidence and forged a clear identity, while lifting themselves into Italy's top four. Also safely through to the Champions League's knockout phase, Juventus have lost just twice across all competitions under Spalletti - posting a particularly good set of results over the past fortnight. After beating Benfica and Serie A champions Napoli in quick succession, they followed a midweek draw with Monaco by putting four goals past Parma on Sunday, as defensive rock Bremer bagged a brace. However, Juve's February schedule only gets tougher from there: after tackling Atalanta, they will face Lazio and Como either side of the Derby d'Italia, while squeezing in both legs of their Champions League playoff against Galatasaray. Atalanta BC Coppa Italia form: W Atalanta BC form (all competitions): W D L W L D Juventus Coppa Italia form: W Juventus form (all competitions): W L W W D W Team News ............ Dusan Vlahovic - who scored the winner against Atalanta in the 2024 final - remains on the sidelines, along with forgotten man Arkadiusz Milik. Though Vlahovic has been absent for some time, Jonathan David now has four Serie A goals in 2026, and Weston McKennie has scored six across all competitions since Spalletti arrived in October. Meanwhile, Bremer will pose a significant threat at set-pieces. Including his double strike against Parma, no central defender has scored more goals across Europe's top five leagues since 2019; fellow Brazilian Gabriel Magalhaes has also registered 21. Atalanta BC possible starting lineup: Carnesecchi; Djimsiti, Hien, Kolasinac; Zappacosta, De Roon, Ederson, Zalewski; De Ketelaere, Raspadori; Scamacca Juventus possible starting lineup: Perin; Kalulu, Bremer, Gatti, Cabal; Locatelli, Koopmeiners; Zhegrova, McKennie, Miretti; David ............ We say: Atalanta BC 0-1 Juventus While Juventus have won four of their last five away games in Serie A, Atalanta have become much tougher to beat on home turf. So, just as in the 2024 Coppa Italia final, a single strike could split these sides. As Andrea Cambiaso's freak own-goal against Parma is one of just four goals conceded by Juve across their last dozen matches, the Old Lady can defeat La Dea. .

Coppa Italia Preview: Atalanta vs. Juventus As Juventus strolled into the Coppa Italia quarterfinals last season, we saw their opponent as a relatively simple one to get past. Fact was that Empoli were in the midst of a relegation battle that would eventually see them sent down to Serie B, and Juve were wobbling yet still very much favorites over the struggling Tuscan side. ............ So now 12 months later, Juventus are again in the Coppa Italia quarterfinals after strolling past Udinese in the round of 16 two months ago. But instead of getting another mid-table or provincial side as we saw a year ago thanks to an upset, Juventus will be facing an Atalanta side that has rebounded from their brutal start to the season now that the incredibly handsome Raffaele Palladino has taken over for Gian Piero Gasperini disciple Ivan Juric. And unlike so many other years prior where Juve’s quarterfinal tie would be at the Allianz Stadium, the Bianconeri will make the trip to the New Balance Arena in Bergamo on Thursday night if they want to get one step closer to winning their first trophy since Max Allegri’s final game in charge. It is far from the simple task that we originally viewed last season’s quarterfinal to be. Instead, Juventus will be facing an Atalanta squad that has earned just three points fewer than Luciano Spalletti has since the former took over for Juric on Nov. 11. La Dea also finished just two spots behind Juve in the Champions League league phase table — which, surprisingly, was one of the few occurrences in Juric actually got a few points to his name during his brief time in charge in Bergamo. But when it comes to Thursday night, it’s quite the difficult matchup for a Juventus squad that was absolutely embarrassed in this round of the Coppa Italia this time last year. The good thing is that Juventus are in a much different space and overall state of mind compared to when they were dumped out of the Coppa Italia by Empoli last season. They’ve got much more stability at the managerial position, and the overall level that the squad is performing at five weeks into 2026 feels like a stark contrast when you feel like dipping back into the depths of where things were 12 months ago. (But don’t do it for that long because we don’t want you to start feeling truly horrible or just start doomscrolling for the next couple of hours.) ............ Atalanta’s form on the whole has improved since Palladino took over, but the last couple of weeks have not been very kind to them. After starting 2026 with wins over Roma, Bologna and Torino, La Dea have won just one of their last five games in all competitions, including a 1-0 loss to Union Saint-Gilloise in the UCL league phase finale that could have gotten Atalanta into the top eight if they had won. That’s on top of a loss a week earlier to Athletic Club in the Champions League — which, as you can probably guess, was just as costly as the loss seven days later in Belgium. ............ So if there ever was a “good” time to be facing Atalanta in a one-off cup tie, this might be one of those instances considering its the first extended period of dropped points and frustrating results under Palladino. Now we just are about to find out if Juventus are the ones who add to Atalanta’s recent struggles or if it’s a second straight season in which the Coppa Italia quarterfinals is how far the Bianconeri go in the competition. The winner of Thursday night’s matchup will face the winner of next Wednesday night’s quarterfinal between Bologna and Lazio at the Renato Dall’Ara. TEAM NEWS Luciano Spalletti did not hold a pre-match press conference on Wednesday, therefore we don’t have any clues as to just how much of the typical Coppa Italia squad rotation will take place even though Juventus are facing a relatively strong opponent. Then again, we do know who’s out injured for Thursday night’s Coppa Italia quarterfinal matchup. With Daniele Rugani’s loan move to Fiorentina, there are only two players on the injury list: Dusan Vlahovic and (of course) Arek Milik. While he’s technically not considered injured by many in the Italian press, Kenan Yildiz is not expected to start against Atalanta on Thursday night. There are reports that Yildiz will be part of the traveling squad and potentially available off the bench in Bergamo. (That Juve traveling squad has not been announced as of this writing.) As is the norm, Mattia Perin is expected to be Juventus’ starter goal for his usual Coppa Italia assignment. JUVENTUS PLAYER TO WATCH Oh, Juventus are playing Atalanta, you say? And it’s the Coppa Italia in which there is bound to be some sort of squad rotation, right? Well then that means we also get our latest chance to talk about our favorite former Atalanta player! ............ At this point, my own personal expectations for Juventus midfielder Teun Koopmeiners can basically be summed up like this: if it’s anything close to decent, then that’s just a bonus. That is because Koopmeiners, a year and a half into his time as a Juventus player, has completely failed to live up to what he did at Atalanta and the massive price tag in which the previous front office paid for him in the summer of 2024. Koopmeiners is still the player that you hope to try and get so much more out of, but it’s just not happened outside of maybe a handful of games over the last 18 months. Things seemed to be working better for him as a member of the three-man defense, but now that he’s back in more of a midfield role it just feels like the same old issues are starting to come back to the forefront again. Adding to the potential worries against Atalanta: He’s being tipped to start alongside Manuel Locatelli in midfield. In the small number of occurrences in which those two have played alongside each other, it has not exactly gone well. But the thing is, it’s not like Spalletti has a whole lot of other options in midfield outside of Koopmeiners if he were to rotate and try and give some guys some rest after an intense start to 2026. ............ MATCH INFO When: Thursday, Feb. 5, 2026. Where: New Balance Stadium, Bergamo, Italy. Official kickoff time: 9 p.m. local time in Italy and across Europe, 8 p.m. in the United Kingdom, 3 p.m. Eastern time, 2 p.m. Central time, 12 p.m. Pacific time. .

Francesco Caliari says Juventus star looked tired in recent matches Kenan Yildiz has remained one of the most important players in the Juventus team, even though the side no longer relies on him as heavily as it did before Luciano Spalletti became their manager. Despite this shift, the Turkiye star continues to play a significant role and has maintained a high level of performance whenever called upon. Yildiz has been outstanding since being handed the number 10 shirt and has shown no signs of nerves or hesitation. ............ However, in recent matches, concerns have emerged regarding the number of minutes he has been required to play. His heavy workload appears to have taken its toll, and this situation played a part in Juventus signing Jeremie Boga during the most recent transfer window. The expectation is that once the new signing is fully up to speed, Yildiz will be able to rest more regularly. ............ Francesco Caliari has expressed his desire to see Yildiz given time to recover, believing that the young attacker has been pushed too hard during a demanding period. He said, “I hope Boga can get back to full fitness soon, giving Yildiz a break. Lately, every time they look at him, the Turk looks really tired.” ............ .

Juventus eager for new Kolo Muani proposal to PSG, but not with Thuram Juventus are reportedly ready to try again for Randal Kolo Muani in the summer, when he’ll return to PSG from Tottenham, but are not prepared to sacrifice Khephren Thuram. The Bianconeri made absolutely no secret of their desire to bring the centre-forward back to Turin both last summer and in January. ............ Juve tried again for Kolo Muani last month, but Tottenham refused to interrupt their loan deal early. ............ The 27-year-old’s contract with PSG only runs to June 2028 and the club paid €95m to buy him from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023. However, any suggestion that Paris Saint-Germain will ask for France international Thuram as part of an exchange deal for Kolo Muani is doomed to failure. ............ .

Juventus agrees to meet Yildiz’s demands as contract talks accelerate Juventus have reached an agreement to pay Kenan Yildiz 6m euros net per season following prolonged contract negotiations with the Turkiye international. The deal represents a significant commitment from the Bianconeri, underlining how highly they value the attacker and his importance to the squad. ............ Several elite sides have identified Yildiz as an ideal addition to their squad, with Premier League clubs especially attentive to his development. Arsenal are among his admirers, with Mikel Arteta reportedly viewing him as one of the finest young talents in the game. Juventus understood the scale of this interest and recognised that decisive action was required to avoid losing one of their most prized assets. The club, therefore, made it clear to all interested parties that Yildiz was not available for sale. This firm stance was backed up by concrete progress in contract talks, ensuring that Juventus retained control over the situation and sent a strong message about their intentions. ............ Juventus have now agreed to pay Yildiz 6m euros net per season, after initially planning to offer him 5m euros. His entourage believed that the earlier figure did not reflect his contribution or status within the team and pushed for improved terms. Their persistence ultimately forced the Bianconeri to meet those demands. ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/juventus-agrees-to-meet-yildizs-demands-as-contract-talks-accelerate/

Yildiz boost for Juventus in Coppa Italia after Parma scare Juventus star Kenan Yildiz is set to be available to Luciano Spalletti for Wednesday’s Coppa Italia match against Atalanta, despite coming off at half-time during Sunday’s 4-1 victory over Parma in Serie A. ............ He was able to take part in Wednesday’s training session, albeit not for the full extent of the workout. ............ According to Wednesday’s reports, Yildiz is expected to travel with the Bianconeri squad for Thursday’s Coppa Italia quarter-final away against Atalanta. He is not currently expected to start, but could potentially feature from the substitutes’ bench in the second half. ............ .

Mauro makes Juventus prediction and heaps praise on Spalletti: ‘A pleasure to watch’ Former Juventus winger Massimo Mauro has given his assessment of Juventus’s current run of form, the role that Luciano Spalletti has had to play and the encouraging signs that the team showed in the absence of Kenan Yildiz against Parma. ............ “He’s done well. This version of David is acceptable and Openda is a worthy replacement, plus a few others who are doing well. Juve needs to get to the Champions League, and in the meantime, think and plan ahead to achieve next season’s targets,” Mauro said. “The players are the ones who go out onto the pitch and put in a performance, but there’s no doubt that the coach has played a fundamental role. At Juventus, you can’t just get away with winning four games, you really have to ‘arrive’. Spalletti did it very well, but he has to persevere because he hasn’t done anything yet. “Watching Juve play now is undoubtedly a pleasure, given their results and the way they achieve them. He’s deserved to win, even when he’s drawn or lost. It’s a great satisfaction for everyone.” ............ “Obviously, the standings are important. But Juve have to think like we did 30 years ago. What was done at Juventus on a Sunday was immediately forgotten because the most important game is always the next one. It might seem trivial, but it really does matter. If you stop to think about all the good things you’ve done, you’re not going anywhere. “I think Juve and Spalletti are doing that, and the quiet style of Comolli and Chiellini, who have left the management of the team to Spalletti and his team, also seems a wise move to me, it’s very Juventus. “Now they have a sporting director there, maybe the only thing they’re missing is a bit of ‘Italianness’. As for the rest, Juve have the right pieces in the right places and just have to play and win.” ............ “Whoever plays best and wins deserves it and will get to the Champions League. If the players maintain this quality of play, nobody can take qualification away from them. “They can’t let their guard down, of course, because Napoli could bounce back and Roma will fight until the very end: They have great staff and strengthened in the January transfer window. “But, if Juve maintain the high standard of play they’ve shown over the last five or six games, they will finish in the top four. I don’t know who will miss out, because I don’t feel like I can discount Roma: Everyone has to be careful. Milan are also on a similar level to these teams. ............ “If there’s one thing that the Parma game showed, it’s that we were all wrong to say that Juve have big problems if Yildiz isn’t playing well. He played poorly in the first half, came off at half-time, but Juventus still played well and scored four goals. “Yes, Parma weren’t great, partly because Juve were very good and compact, but Spalletti’s gameplan put the team in a position to do well without Yildiz as well. Of course, it’s still better to have him.” . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/mauro-juventus-prediction-spalletti-praise/

Two Premier League clubs ask about conditions to sign Vlahovic Dusan Vlahovic is set to leave Juventus at the end of this season as a free agent, with the striker running down his contract at the club. The Bianconeri had previously attempted to negotiate a new deal some months ago, but the parties were unable to reach an agreement, leading the club to abandon efforts to retain him. There had been speculation that Vlahovic might commit his future to Juventus by signing a fresh contract, but the club appears no longer interested in keeping him. ............ Two Premier League sides, Newcastle United and Chelsea, have already made enquiries regarding the striker. Both clubs believe that Vlahovic can offer significant value and may provide an immediate impact in their squads. They view him as a forward capable of producing important performances in a top European league, making him an attractive prospect ahead of next season. ............ While Vlahovic’s departure appears inevitable, Juventus are already looking ahead. The club is expected to prioritise the signing of a top striker in the upcoming transfer window to lead their attack next season. Strengthening this position is crucial for the Bianconeri as they aim to remain competitive both domestically and in European competitions. ............ .

Official: Juventus announce Emil Holm capture, Joao Mario to Bologna Juventus have announced the arrival of Emil Holm from Bologna, while Joao Mario headed in the opposite direction. While swap deals are usually difficult to negotiate, as they involve too many parties with conflicting interests, this one managed to reach the finish line ahead of Monday’s transfer deadline. The Bianconeri had brought in Joao Mario from Porto last summer, but the Portuguese never managed to impose himself on the manager’s plans, whether during Igor Tudor’s reign or with Luciano Spalletti. Therefore, Juventus managed to temporarily offload the 26-year-old, by sending him on loan to Bologna. The statement didn’t mention an option or an obligation to buy, so it appears that the Portugal international has joined the Emilian club on a dry loan, as reported on Sunday. ............ Shortly after confirming Joao Mario’s departure, the Serie A giants announced Holm as their latest signing on a free loan until the end of the season, with an option to buy for €15 million plus €3 million in bonuses. ............ Holm has been on Juve’s shortlist since his days at Spezia, but he was instead poached by Atalanta in 2023. ............ The Swede is expected to act as Pierre Kalulu’s understudy at right-back, but he’ll be hoping to make the most out of his opportunities to convince Juventus to shell out €15 million for his services in June. .

Juventus keen to sign Bologna full-back regardless of Joao Mario swap Juventus and Bologna are hopeful of exchanging Emil Holm and Joao Mario, but the Bianconeri are determined to sign the Swede anyway. With only three days remaining before the closure of the January transfer window, the Bianconeri are keen to add one more right-back to their ranks, as Pierre Kalulu, who adjusted into this role, hasn’t been given a single minute of rest since the start of the season. ............ Although the negotiations between Juventus and Bologna are going at a fast pace, Joao Mario remains undecided. The Portuguese right-back hasn’t started a match since Luciano Spalletti arrived at Contanissa. However, leaving the club after a few disappointing months remains a difficult pill to swallow. But while the two clubs will try to convince the 26-year-old to accept a late-winter move, the source claims that Juventus will attempt to close a deal for Holm, regardless of Joao Mario’s fate. ............ Holm has been on the Old Lady’s shortlist since his spell at Spezia between 2021 and 2023. The 25-year-old ended up joining Atalanta instead, before making the transfer to Bologna in 2024. This season, he has thus far made 19 appearances, registering one goal and five assists in the process. ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/juventus-emil-holm-joao-mario-swap/

Juventus could swap Joao Mario for Emil Holm Juventus and Bologna are reportedly considering swapping the services of their two right-backs, Joao Mario and Emil Holm. ............ Holm and Mario could swap clubs in the coming days, with the two clubs pondering an exchange of loans. Holm is a 25-year-old right-back who has been plying his trade in Serie A since joining Spezia in 2021. Due to his hardworking ethics and never-say-die attitude, the full-back has been likened to former Juventus star Stephan Lichtsteiner, who was an instrumental player for the Bianconeri during Antonio Conte’s reign and Max Allegri’s first stint. ............ Unlike Mario, who is already an afterthought at Juventus, Holm is part of Vincenzo Italiano’s plans. However, Nadir Zortea is now considered Bologna’s first choice right-back, while the experienced Lorenzo Di Silvestri still receives occasional opportunities. However, Juventus are facing stern competition for the Swedish international, as Napoli are keeping close tabs on the player, and the same goes for Premier League strugglers Wolves. ............ .

Questo é davvero juventino fin da piccolo

Juventus relieved as Yildiz has not suffered a serious injury Kenan Yildiz featured for only the first half of Juventus’ weekend match against Parma, with concerns quickly emerging that he may have suffered a serious injury. The attacker was unable to continue after the interval, prompting immediate attention from the club’s medical staff and raising questions about his availability in the coming weeks. The issue was identified as an abductor problem, which prevented him from playing on. ............ Yildiz has been one of Juventus’ standout performers during the current campaign and has played a significant role in their recent success. Losing him to a long spell on the sidelines would have represented a major setback for the club at a crucial stage of the season. As a result, the initial signs during the Parma match caused concern among supporters and staff alike. From the player’s perspective, Yildiz is eager to remain on the pitch whenever possible. He is aware of the influence he has within the team and understands that regular game time allows him to continue driving strong performances. His technical ability and attacking presence have given Juventus a valuable edge, and he will be keen to return as soon as he is deemed fit. ............ There has since been a more encouraging development regarding his condition. The injury is not as serious as first feared. The report indicates that the abductor problem is less severe than initially suspected, which suggests that Yildiz could return to action sooner than expected. This update will come as a significant relief for Juventus, who know how difficult it would be to replace his contribution at this point in the season. ............ .

Juventus will make fresh efforts to sign Kolo Muani in June Juventus have made repeated efforts to sign Randal Kolo Muani since the start of the current season, and their interest in the French forward has not diminished. The club see him as a key target as they continue to assess ways to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the next campaign. ............ During the summer, Juventus attempted to secure his signature permanently but was unable to reach an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain. Those negotiations failed to progress, leading to frustration between the two clubs. Despite that setback, Juventus remained attentive to his situation and explored further opportunities to bring him back. Last month, they made another attempt by approaching Paris Saint-Germain with the idea of terminating his loan spell at Tottenham and allowing him to return to Turin. That proposal was also unsuccessful, with the Ligue 1 side unwilling to sanction such a move. Even so, Juventus have not been deterred and continue to monitor developments closely. ............ Juventus are planning to renew its pursuit of Kolo Muani at the end of the season. Luciano Spalletti was unable to sign the striker he was keen to add during the most recent transfer window and will now be hoping that a deal can be completed in the summer. ............ .

Juventus expect Yildiz to be back for major Serie A showdown Juventus fans can breathe a sigh of relief, as Kenan Yildiz has seemingly averted a serious injury, albeit he’s still expected to miss some of the action. At the tender age of 20, the Turkiye international has already cemented himself as the club’s most valuable player. He has been absolutely decisive this season, scoring nine goals and providing his teammates with eight assists in his 31 appearances across all competitions. ............ Yildiz had to grit his teeth to make it until the half-time whistle, before making way for Fabio Miretti. Luckily for Juventus, the Turk’s services weren’t fully required at the Ennio Tardini, as his teammates were able to dominate the action. After the contest, Luciano Spalletti offered some positive updates, revealing that members of the medical staff had reassured him that the player did not sustain a major injury, but was only suffering from muscle fatigue. According to several sources in the Italian media, Yildiz didn’t even have to undergo clinical tests at the J|Medical Centre on Monday. ............ Yildiz is expected to miss Thursday’s contest against Atalanta in the Coppa Italia Round of 16, as well as Sunday’s Serie A clash against Lazio. Afterwards, Juventus will be hoping to retrieve him for the following weekend’s Derby d’Italia showdown against Inter at San Siro. ............ .
