“It takes time” Christian Vieri is sure Motta is the right man for Juventus Christian Vieri believes that Thiago Motta is the right man for the Juventus job and has fully earned the position, but he cautions that the manager will need time to succeed. ............ Motta is regarded as one of the best coaches in the game, and given Juve’s performances over the past three seasons, he has been tasked with exceeding expectations. Vieri, who has followed Motta since his time at Bologna, believes the coach has demonstrated his ability to transform a team. ............ “Motta? In Bologna, in the first six months, he saved them and in the second year he still played well, he took them to the Champions League. “Nobody expected it: in a year and a half they took him to save Bologna and then he went to the Champions League. Juventus took him: it takes time, he wants to play good football and wants to command the game, to do this it takes a bit of time and a bit of patience. But he is a very good coach, very smart”. ............ Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/it-takes-time-christian-vieri-is-sure-motta-is-the-right-man-for-juventus/

Juventus draws up a list of players that could replace Vlahovic Juventus will meet with Dusan Vlahovic’s representatives at the end of this month to renegotiate his contract. Although his current deal runs until 2026, the main concern is that Vlahovic is set to earn €12 million net in the final year of his contract. Juve is keen to avoid paying such a high salary and also wants him to extend his stay at the club. This situation is delicate because if Vlahovic refuses to accept a pay cut as part of a new contract, Juventus could find themselves in a position similar to their recent situation with Federico Chiesa. ............ The Bianconeri are eyeing several strikers as potential replacements: Jonathan David, Benjamin Sesko, Viktor Gyökeres, Victor Boniface, Santiago Gimenez, or Samu Omorodion. Juventus has been tracking these players and believes any of them could be a strong replacement for Vlahovic, likely on a more manageable salary. ............

Boost for Juventus as two players make a full recovery ahead of Empoli game Juventus has received a fitness boost ahead of their weekend match against Empoli. ............ In their season opener against Como, Timothy Weah and Khephren Thuram were unable to complete the game due to knocks. Juventus gave them time to recover, and the international break allowed them to regain full fitness. Both players have now fully recovered and returned to full training with the squad. Thiago Motta can consider including them in the starting XI for the Empoli fixture or keep them available for the following match. This comes as a timely boost for Juventus, who face a congested fixture list with the Champions League about to begin. ............

Juventus schedules meeting with Vlahovic’s agent and will make good offer Juventus is eager to reduce Dušan Vlahović’s salary through a new contract negotiation. Once his current deal reaches its peak, the Serbian striker is set to become the highest-paid player in Serie A, earning €12 million per season. ............ Juventus is not in a position to pay Vlahović €12 million net per season, which amounts to €24 million gross. As a result, the club is looking to renegotiate a new deal to bring down his wages. Juventus has scheduled a meeting with Vlahović’s agent at the end of this month to discuss a contract extension until 2028. The new terms would likely offer a salary similar to Lautaro Martínez’s €9 million net per season, potentially saving the club around €6 million annually. ............

Juventus looking to secure the services of the “New Verratti” on long-term deal Juventus are reportedly working on locking down Diego Ripani, a teenage midfielder likened to Marco Verratti. The San Benedetto native is an 18-year-old deep-lying playmaker who started his career at Pescara, which partially explains the link to the former Paris Saint-Germain star. The Bianconeri poached the teenager in 2021, and immediately placed him in the U17 squad, although he was still 15 at the time. ............ Nevertheless, the midfielder could earn a promotion to the Next Gen squad in the coming months, thus reuniting with his former coach Paolo Montero. Ripani is thus considered one of the most promising talents in a talent-stacked youth sector. Juventus are keen to armor the former Pescara player with a new contract. ............ Ripani has also been leaving his mark on the international level. He has already earned eight caps for Italy U21, scoring a single goal in the process.

Thiago Motta picks new Juventus senators – The five captains revealed Juventus will reportedly have five new captains and locker-room leaders under the rein of Thiago Motta. ............ For his part, Danilo has been the club’s official captain since Leonardo Bonucci’s departure last summer, but his role has significantly diminished with Motta in charge, only earning five minutes in the first three rounds of the season. ............ Five Juventus stars will act as the new locker-room leaders and could be sharing the captain’s armband throughout the season. Federico Gatti is the most obvious name on the list since he wore the armband in the first three matches of the season. ............ Gleison Bremer could be one of them after cementing himself as a genuine senator at the club. The same goes for Dusan Vlahovic, Andrea Cambiaso and Manuel Locatelli who have been displaying character and leadership both on the pitch and in the dressing room.

Koopmeiners working overtime as he aims to earn starting role against Empoli New Juventus signing Teun Koopmeiners isn’t planning to waste time in Turin, as he appears eager to make his full debut as soon as possible. ............ Prior to the move, the 26-year-old decided to stop training with his Atalanta teammates in an attempt to force his exit. Whether this maneuver played a positive or negative role in the transfer saga remains debatable, but it probably cost the midfielder from a physical standpoint. ............ The Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman decided to leave the new Bianconero out of the national team squad for the ongoing international break. Therefore, the player took the opportunity to fully immerse himself into Thiago Motta’s tactical plans while also working on regaining his optimal physical condition through some extra workouts. ............

Fenerbahce confirm agreement with Juventus over Kostic Fenerbahce have released a statement confirming an agreement with Juventus over the transfer of Filip Kostic. ............ During the summer, Kostic rejected proposals from Saudi Arabia, as well as the likes of Crystal Palace and Southampton. But with the transfer market shut almost everywhere on the globe, Turkiye became his ultimate escape route. The winger has been linked with a move to Galatasaray, but it was their crosstown rivals Fenerbahce who managed to seal the deal. Kostic will thus join Jose Mourinho’s revolution on the east side of Istanbul. He will sign for the Blue and Yellow club on loan until the end of the season. ............

Anche io ero in Italia in quell'estate e per giunta nell'Italia meridionale. Per Totó c'era una passione eccezionale, lo posso confermare.

Chi ha vissuto le "notti magiche" del 1990 non puó che provare un profondo affetto per Totó Schillaci. Speriamo che ce la faccia. Ha solo 59 anni.

Tuttosport dice che é ricoverato all'Ospedale Civico di Palermo.

Pavan blames national teams for causing injuries after Gonzalez fitness scare Massimo Pavan believes that managers who select players who have not properly prepared for matches are often responsible for some of the injuries those players suffer. He shared this view after Nicolas Gonzalez pulled up injured during Argentina’s latest match. ............ Although he is undoubtedly a key player for his country, his recent injury raises concerns. Pavan questions the decision to play Gonzalez, given that he has hardly featured this season. He said: “These injuries don’t leave anyone at ease, but the fault lies with those who call up players who haven’t done the preparation. Obviously if you put a player who has never played to play 50 minutes he gets injured, it doesn’t take Einstein…” ............

Juventus gets some good news on the fitness of Nicolas Gonzalez Juventus panicked when they saw Nicolas Gonzalez limping off during Argentina’s last match. ............ Gonzalez started their game against Chile but took a hard knock early in the second half and couldn’t continue. It appeared he had suffered an ankle injury that could potentially sideline him for an extended period. ............ Further tests will be conducted on the attacker this week, but the injury is not as serious as initially feared, and Juve is now feeling more at ease. The report claims he likely sustained only a contusion to the heel, which is not a major concern, meaning he won’t be returning early to Juventus. ............
