Tudor will only make one change to Juventus starting lineup against Parma Ahead of Sunday’s meeting with Parma, Juventus manager Igor Tudor is only expected to introduce a single change to the starting lineup that took on Atalanta in their last pre-season friendly. ............ On Saturday, the Croatian manager decided to field a strong starting XI against Atalanta. In the end, the Turin-based giants prevailed in Bergamo by two goals to one, courtesy of Jonathan David and Dusan Vlahovic. That contest provided an important indicator on how the team will line up, at least in the opening rounds of the season. Tudor will maintain the same lineup when they host Parma on the opening day of the Serie A campaign, with only one exception. ............ In the middle of the park, Manuel Locatelli will replace Teun Koopmeiners. Although the Dutchman didn’t embarrass himself in the deeper role, the club captain and Khephren Thuram remain ahead of him in the pecking order. Juventus expected XI (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Gatti, Bremer, Kelly; Gonzalez, Locatelli, Thuram, Cambiaso; Conceicao, Yildiz; David. .

Juventus accept offer for longtime outcast who is reflecting on the move Juventus and Gremio have reportedly found an agreement on the transfer of Arthur Melo, but the latter’s consent remains missing. As per custom, the Bianconeri are trying to find the Brazilian a new accommodation, which has been a running theme for the last four summers. ............ This time around, the former Barcelona has been linked with a return to LaLiga through the gates of Real Betis, but the Andalusians haven’t been able to seal the deal, thus opening the door for Gremio to pounce on the opportunity. ............ Gremio have an accord in place with the Bianconeri, but it remains to be seen if they can convince Arthur to rejoin them. The 28-year-old started his career at the Porto Alegre club before being sold to Barcelona for circa €30 million in the summer of 2018. ............ .

Juventus & Nottingham Forest agree on Douglas Luiz formula – Replacement already identified Juventus outcast Douglas Luiz is all set to join Nottingham Forest, as the two clubs work on sorting out the remaining details in their agreement. The Reds will make their long-awaited return to Europe this season after qualifying for the UEFA Conference League. Therefore, Nuno Espirito Santo is seeking quality additions to his squad. ............ Luckily for the Premier League boys, Luiz has been made available on the market after failing to impress in his first season at Juventus. ............ But while Everton and West Ham United were interested in his services, Forest were the ones to show the most intent, and are seemingly one step away from sealing the deal. The EPL club has reached an agreement with Juventus on the formula of the transfer. As the source explains, the Bianconeri refused to offer any discounts on their initial asking price of €39 million, as a lower figure would result in a capital loss. Therefore, the two clubs agreed that the midfielder will spend his season on loan at the City Ground, while Forest will have the option to buy him for circa €30 million next summer (a figure that would match his book value in July 2026). ............ In the meantime, Juventus are hoping to close this chapter as soon as possible. They’re simultaneously working on selling Luiz’ compatriot and fellow outcast Arthur Melo, who is reportedly close to sealing a return to Gremio. These two sales will make room for the arrival of a new midfielder in Turin, and all signs are pointing towards Matt O’Riley. ............ .

Juventus launch onslaught for Ligue 1 star who could replace Nico Gonzalez Juventus are working on offloading Nicolas Gonzalez while simultaneously trying to sign LOSC Lille winger Edon Zhegrova to replace him. The 26-year-old is a German-Kosovan player who has been playing his trade at the Ligue 1 side since 2022. The tricky winger struck a great attacking partnership with Jonathan David who recently joined the Bianconeri on a free transfer. ............ While the Canadian striker has already left Lille, Zhegrova should soon follow him to the exit door, especially after being excluded from the squad. The French side is keen to avoid another free exit, so they’re determined to cash in on the Kosovo international this summer, before his deal expires in June 2026. ............ Juventus are serious about signing Zhegrova who is available for €20-25 million. The Bianconeri will try to raise funds by selling Gonzalez to Atletico Madrid. Afterwards, they’ll be looking to bolster their flanks. ............ Juve has interest in LaLiga wingbacks Nahuel Molina and Arnau Martinez, but the management could be more enticed by Zhegrova, who represents a more attacking profile, one capable of offering Igor Tudor an alternative to Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceicao. Juventus General Manager Damien Comolli will be looking to put his French connections to good use, as he tries to drive the asking price down through negotiations with Lille president Olivier Letang. ............ .

Juventus & Atletico Madrid swap deal gaining steam as talks continue Juventus and Atletico Madrid are reportedly open to conducting a sensational swap deal that would see Nicolas Gonzalez and Nahuel Molina trading places. ............ Juventus have already brought in a right wingback this summer in the shape of Joao Mario who joined from Porto, while Alberto Costa made the opposite move. The 25-year-old Portuguese has been largely impressive in pre-season. On Saturday, he produced a wonderful assist for Dusan Vlahovic in the 2-1 win over Atalanta. However, Mario won’t be sufficient on his own, so the management is keen to add one more player for this role. ............ The Bianconeri have been tracking the 27-year-old Argentinian Molina since his time at Udinese. However, they missed out on the opportunity to sign him in 2022, with the Colchoneros winning the race. Nevertheless, Molina is no longer considered untouchable at Atletico, so he’s now available for the right offer, which is believed to be around €25 million. ............ The Bianconeri are ready to sanction the sale of the former Stuttgart and Fiorentina winger Gonzalez, but they will require a transfer fee of €30 million to avoid registering capital gains. .

Juventus interested in Lille winger Edon Zhegrova As Juventus look to be relatively close to securing their first signing in weeks with the (re-)addition of Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain, it appears as though the Bianconeri could very well be trying to do a little more shopping in Ligue 1 before the summer mercato comes to a close in a couple of weeks. ............ According to Fabrizio Romano on Sunday, Juventus have made contacts regarding a potential move for Lille winger Edon Zhegrova, who has been of particular interest of Olympique Marseille over the last couple of weeks. ............ Juventus are expected to meet with Zhegrova’s agents at some point next week to see if a move for the 26-year-old Kosovo international is truly possible, but also with the caveat that they will almost certainly need to sell first — namely Nico González — to facilitate something in the final days of the summer transfer window. Zhegrova is currently in the final year of his contract at Lille and has previously stated that he doesn’t plan to renew his deal as he seeks a new club either this summer or next. He was not part of Lille’s squad for their season-opening 3-3 draw with Brest on Sunday. ............ Just how much Juventus might need to invest in a deal to secure Zhegrova is relatively unknown. While talks are “advanced” it’s hard to tell really just how close a deal between Lille and Marseille actually is. And with Juventus suddenly trying to meet with Zhegrova’s representatives next week, there’s obviously some kind of opening that Damien Comolli feels like he can try and get into by swooping in late and take advantage of Zhegrova still being on the market. ............ A teammate of new Juventus striker Jonathan David the past four seasons at Lille, Zhegrova is coming off a 2024-25 campaign in which he was unable to replicate the strong performances of the year prior. ............ .

Tudor lauds ‘strong’ Koopmeiners, weighs in on Vlahovic & David Juventus head coach Igor Tudor was full of praise for Teun Koompmeiners following Saturday’s friendly win over Atalanta. The Bianconeri had their dress rehearsal before next weekend’s Serie A opener against Atalanta. They managed to round off a brief, yet positive, pre-season by beating La Dea in Bergamo by two goals to one. ............ The Dutchman has been mostly playing as an attacking midfielder since his arrival in Turin, but Tudor is adamant about testing him in a deeper role. ............ “Teun was very good,” said Tudor in his post-match press conference. “He’s a strong player. I really liked his display today.” ............ The 46-year-old was also asked about Jonathan David who had a quiet evening, but ended up breaking the deadlock in the 73rd minute with an acrobatic effort. “When you play against Atalanta, you have to be ready for a duel. It wasn’t easy against Hien, so welcome to Italian football! “Jonathan moved a lot, he worked hard, he gave everything. It was different for him at Lille, as he didn’t have as many duels. Today, he had more duels than he did while playing 10 games for Lille, and then he scored in the box. He’s an excellent player.” ............ “I won’t talk about the transfer market, there are still 10 days left. I liked Dusan’s performance. He’s valuable and he’s a Juventus player.” .

“It’s crucial” – Capello gives Juventus transfer advice, explains Tudor advantage Italian football manager Fabio Capello insists Juventus must regain the services of Randal Kolo Muani to boost their chances ahead of the new campaign. ............ For his part, Capello believes the Turin-based giants must find a way to sign Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain, as his addition would make a significant difference. “For the Bianconeri, I think it’s crucial to bring Kolo Muani back to Turin,” said the former Juventus, Real Madrid and England manager in his interview. ............ “Juve have an advantage: Tudor already knows the environment and has been able to evaluate the group and understand its strengths and weaknesses over the past few months. “Now it’s up to him to prove he’s a manager worthy of Juventus.” ............ .

Kolo Muani agrees to pay cut to help facilitate PSG-Juventus move Reports in Italy claim that Randal Kolo Muani has agreed to take a slight pay cut in order to help facilitate his return to Juventus from Paris Saint-Germain. ............ The Bianconeri are set to invest somewhere between €55m-€58m to bring Kolo Muani back to the Allianz Stadium, combining the cost of a loan fee and a future obligation to buy. It is understood that Juventus will pay a significant loan fee in order to reduce the cost of the future obligation to buy. ............ The Bianconeri are hoping that Douglas Luiz will be sold for a price in excess of €30m, while there is still hope that Dusan Vlahovic is sold before the end of the transfer window, which would help Juventus balance their books. ............ Additionally Kolo Muani has agreed to take a slight pay cut in order to help push the deal with Juventus through. Sunday’s report claims that Kolo Muani will earn a salary of around €7m per season, plus bonuses, which is down from the estimated €9m plus bonuses that he currently earns from PSG. .

Juventus to unlock fourth signing as Douglas Luiz is one step away from Nottingham Forest Juventus are about to finalise the transfer of Douglas Luiz to Nottingham Forest, which will trigger a domino effect. ............ The writing has been on the wall for Luiz over the past few months, with several Premier League clubs enquiring about his services. The question was which one would make the concrete steps, but the answer became increasingly evident in recent days, with Forest making large strides on this front. According to several sources in Italian football, the Brazil international is only one step away from joining the City Ground outfit. ............ The source adds that Luiz’s transfer to Forest will pave the way for Juventus to finally sign Randal Kolo Muani. ............ The Bianconeri have found an agreement in principle with Paris Saint-Germain, but they still have to make room for the player on the wage bill, and also raise the necessary resources to maintain order on the balance sheet. ............ .

Juventus 2 - Atalanta 1: Initial reaction and random observations Saturday evening in Bergamo proved to be one final test and measuring stick for Juventus manager Igor Tudor before things start to count for real next weekend. And just like the previous weekend in which they faced one of the best in Germany, the trip to face one of the most competitive teams in Italy for the better part of the past decade was about as much of a dress rehearsal as Tudor could have gotten. ............ There’s more than just a couple of commonalities between last weekend’s win over Borussia Dortmund and this one. The final score, for one, was the same, with Juve recording another 2-1 victory. The point in time when Juve allowed their lone goal of the game was around the same, with Atalanta scoring right on the brink of second-half stoppage time a lot like Dortmund did. But unlike seeing a surprise goal scorer in Andrea Cambiaso pop up, it was Juve’s biggest summer signing to date this year, Canadian striker Jonathan David, get on the scoresheet for the first time since moving to Turin and then Dusan Vlahovic finding the back of the net for the third time during the friendly calendar within a five-minute span to give Juve the win and close out the preseason. ............ Just as was said after the win over Dortmund, there were good things besides the goals to take out of this one. It was nice to see David make an impact with that kind of goal after a somewhat quiet kind of game in the Atalanta penalty area. It was very refreshing to see Cambiaso have another strong showing after such an injury-hampered second half of last season. Teun Koopmeiners was solid if not unspectacular. Some of the dribbling from Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceição was just absolutely dizzying. And, for all of his faults, João Mário has shown us in the small sample size with Juve thus far that he is very much a threat going forward, with his assist on Vlahovic’s goal being quite the impressive run. ............ RANDOM THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS Gotta say, that captain’s armband looked pretty good on Bremer’s bicep. Another Bremer note: It was a friendly, but that battle with Gianluca Scamacca was a pretty good one for this one not actually counting for much other than match fitness. That’s just two very large and strong humans going up against one another and a pretty good gauge to see where Bremer is at in his journey back from his ACL surgery last October. One more Bremer note: That was a damn strong 80 minutes of game time for him. For him to look the way he did and show some stamina throughout is a huge step as we sit here a week out from his much-anticipated to an official match. Juve certainly have played it right when it comes to how they’ve managed his entire rehab process. ............ You all can rest a little easier because I just read that Tudor said Federico Gatti came off late in Saturday’s friendly due to cramping. No injury. No need for a prayer circle. We can all hold that for somebody who needs it more. ............ All that being said, why did Kenan Yildiz play into second-half stoppages? That’s the one player not named Bremer you can’t risk at all with some sort of late-game weirdness. Thankfully, nothing happened. Thankfully — and I can’t emphasize that enough. ............ Those long and ranging Khephren Thuram runs forward will never get old. Now we just need to him to turn them into more goals and assists, right? That sure would be nice when it comes to a player who many feel like has the chance to take a big step forward this season. Chico Conceição found himself surrounded by three Atalanta players late in the first half and juked the living hell out of all of them. That was nifty as hell. ............ Credit where credit is due: Vlahovic played with the kind of fire lit underneath him that it feels like we haven’t seen in a while. Who knows why that was the case, but if there is the chance of him actually staying at Juventus, hopefully he plays like that going forward. (One can only hope, right?) ............ Douglas Luiz coming on in the 89th minute in what looks to be his last Juventus performance before he heads off to Nottingham Forest sure does feel appropriate for how his 14 months in Turin went. That David goal. Still thinking about it. Iceman. Air Canada. Whatever you want to call him works. ............ In eight days, the games count in the standings and hopefully we’re able to take some positivity out of facing Parma like we’ve been able to do against Borussia Dortmund and now Atalanta.

Jonathan David opens his Juventus account in win against Atalanta Juventus secured a 2-1 victory against Atalanta this evening in their final pre-season match ahead of the Serie A campaign. With just a few days remaining before competitive action began, the men in black and white were keen to finish their preparation on a positive note. ............ Both teams began the match by demonstrating their growing form and level of fitness, particularly in defensive areas, with Gleison Bremer starting yet another match for the Old Lady. ............ The breakthrough came after the 70th minute when Jonathan David opened his Juventus account with an impressive strike. The Canadian forward, expected to be the team’s starting striker this season, demonstrated his readiness for the campaign with the goal. Just two minutes later, he was substituted to allow Dusan Vlahovic to gain valuable game time, and the Serbian forward promptly added Juventus’ second goal. The late goals reignited Atalanta, who managed to pull one back, but there was insufficient time for them to force an equaliser. Juventus’ pre-season victory highlights their attacking options and readiness as the Serie A season approaches, while Atalanta will seek to resolve ongoing issues and improve their cohesion before competitive fixtures commence. ............ Juventus, in particular, can take confidence from their late surge, as they now turn their focus to the Serie A opener. .

Fabrizio Romano reveals how Juventus responded to Chelsea’s enquiry on Yildiz Earlier this summer, Chelsea were interested in the services of Kenan Yildiz, and even contacted Juventus to collect some information regarding the cost of the potential operation. ............ A few months ago, rumours in the Italian media claimed that Chelsea decided to launch an onslaught for the Turkish international. In the latest video posted on his Italian YouTube channel, Fabrizio Romano confirmed the West Londoners’ interest in the 20-year-old. ............ The transfer market insider revealed that Chelsea had enquired about Yildiz in June, but Juventus swiftly dashed their hopes by making it abundantly clear that they do not intend to discuss the young man’s future with any other club. On the contrary, the Bianconeri are keen to secure the player’s services with a new long-term deal that will certainly include a pay rise. ............ Yildiz had at times struggled to make an impact while playing on the wings in Thiago Motta’s system, but the Croatian manager has been fielding him as one of the two attacking midfielders, while giving him a license to roam all over the field. The player’s current deal is valid until June 2029, but Juventus are expected to push back the deadline by at least another year. .

Juventus trying to get a discount on Brighton midfielder Juventus are still determined to land Matt O’Riley before the end of the summer, but negotiating a deal with Brighton won’t be easy. ............ In O’Riley’s case, Brighton’s stance might not be as rigid, but the price tag remains significant. The Bianconeri have been searching the market for a new midfielder for months, but have yet to find any joy on this track. The dream of signing Sandro Tonali has gradually faded, with Newcastle United considering him unsellable, while Sporting CP’s €50m asking price for Morten Hjulmand was considered too high for the Old Lady. ............ Brighton are asking for at least €30 million to sell the 24-year-old, especially following his impresive start to the Premier League, as he converted from the spot in the 1-1 draw against Fulham. ............ While the Seagulls’ asking price is not an astronomical figure, it remains a significant sum for cash-strapped Juventus who can only make room for new arrivals by offloading some of their current players. Therefore, the source reveals that Juventus are trying to reduce the asking price through their negotiations with the Premier League club, although it remains a daunting task. ............ .

Official Juventus team to face Atalanta – Strong starting eleven Juventus take on Atalanta today in their final pre-season fixture ahead of the Serie A campaign, and this is the team Igor Tudor has selected. ............ Over the past few weeks, both Juventus and Atalanta have conducted significant summer business, adjusting their squads and testing new tactical setups. For Juventus, this game represents a chance to refine their strategies and integrate new players, demonstrating that they are prepared to challenge for the title once again. Atalanta, meanwhile, faces the challenge of replacing key personnel following Gasperini’s departure, and the encounter with Juventus will offer insight into how the team will function under new management. ............ Historically, encounters between Juventus and Atalanta have been closely contested. In the last five meetings, three ended in draws, with Juventus and Atalanta winning one of the remaining two matches each. Notably, the last time these sides met, Atalanta recorded a 4-0 victory over Juventus, a result that contributed to the dismissal of Thiago Motta before the season concluded. ............ As the Serie A season approaches, this fixture offers both clubs a final chance to test their squads and refine their strategies before the league campaign begins in earnest. Fans will be watching closely to see which team emerges with confidence and momentum ahead of the season’s start. .

Juventus include two wantaway stars in their squad for Atalanta game Juventus has included Douglas Luiz and Nicolas Gonzalez in their squad for the upcoming fixture against Atalanta, despite both players’ departures from the club being imminent. The Serie A side is in advanced discussions to sell Luiz to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, while negotiations continue regarding Gonzalez. Atletico Madrid has expressed interest in signing the Argentinian attacker, with talks ongoing to finalise a deal in the coming days. For the time being, both Luiz and Gonzalez remain Juventus players, and the club is preparing for the new season with all registered members of the squad. Unlike last summer, when Thiago Motta and Cristiano Giuntoli removed unwanted players from first-team training, Juventus has adopted a different approach this term. ............ Juventus believes that fostering a sense of belonging and unity within the squad is essential to sustaining performance levels throughout the season. Even players whose futures may lie elsewhere are being kept engaged to ensure that the team remains cohesive. This approach reflects the club’s focus on preparation, fitness, and squad harmony, which could prove decisive as the campaign progresses. ............ .

Nottingham Forest shows seriousness with their latest Douglas Luiz offer Nottingham Forest is closing in on a move for Douglas Luiz, as their latest offer appears sufficient to convince Juventus to sell. The Brazilian midfielder is one of several players the Bianconeri want to offload this summer. ............ The Premier League club is making late adjustments to its squad and is competing alongside West Ham and Everton to secure Luiz’s signature. However, Forest is leading the race, with a report claiming that they have now offered 30 million euros for his transfer. Juventus are satisfied with the offer and considers it good enough, meaning there is a strong possibility that they will accept it. ............ Juventus are focused on streamlining its roster, and Luiz’s departure would form a key part of this strategy. The club have made it clear that certain players must leave to make room for new arrivals and maintain balance within the squad. ............ .

In effetti de Bruyne a parametro zero lo potevamo prendere noi. Chissá se Comolli ci ha provato?
