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.

Three Juventus players could return from injury ahead of Empoli trip Juventus coach Thiago Motta could receive an important boost on the injury front, as three of his players could be fit again for the club’s upcoming encounter against Empoli. ............ Juventus will be playing twice per week, so squad depth will have a key role to play. And luckily for Motta, three of his players are edging towards recovery. The first is Timothy Weah who left the pitch shortly after scoring his first-ever Serie A goals against Como. ............ Khephran Thuram is also pushing for a return to action after skipping the previous two encounters. ............ Finally, Vasilije Adzic is also working to regain his fitness and earn a call-up for the trip to Empoli. ............

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.

Padovano reckons Juve will be a force when the new players settle in Juventus is undergoing a significant transformation this season with the arrival of a new manager, Thiago Motta, and a fresh crop of players. After years of needing renewal, the Bianconeri have entrusted Motta with the task of revitalising the squad. Having previously impressed at smaller clubs, Motta now faces the biggest challenge of his managerial career. ............ Former Juve striker Michele Padovano has expressed his admiration for the team’s promising start and believes they will only improve as their new additions integrate and Motta’s system takes full effect. With this blend of experience and youthful energy, Juventus looks poised for a strong season ahead. He said: “Motta is surprising me, he had the courage to take his responsibilities and spoke immediately of a Juve that must win, he knows that this is what the history of the club requires. I liked the fact that he was not afraid to field young players like Savona and Mbangula and I like his game with phrases that start from the bottom. When the new signings are well-oiled, I believe that Juve will get great satisfaction.” ............

Danilo delivers for Brazil to send message to Motta Danilo finds himself in an unfamiliar situation at Juventus, as the defender has been sitting on the bench under Thiago Motta. The new manager has not followed last season’s order of preference at the club, favouring Federico Gatti and Gleison Bremer as his preferred defensive pair. ............ Danilo was on the pitch as team captain when the Selecao faced Ecuador and he gave a solid performance. Aware that he must work to regain his starting spot at Juventus, the report claims his strong display for Brazil could send a message to Motta. ............

De Paola says Motta is sending a specific message with Yildiz’s new number The decision to give Kenan Yildiz the iconic Juventus number 10 shirt sends a strong message about the club’s belief in the youngster. The Bianconeri have been impressed by his development since he joined the squad, and the club sees him as a star for both the present and the future. ............ It is one of the most prestigious shirt numbers at the club, but pundit Paolo De Paola believes that giving it to Yildiz reflects Thiago Motta’s trust in the youngster. He said: “The investiture of the number 10 shows that Motta really believes in it,” ............

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. ............

Nicolas Gonzalez may have suffered an ankle injury playing for Argentina Juventus has reason to be concerned about the fitness of their players during this international break, as Nicolás González was substituted during Argentina’s win against Chile. The winger, who joined Juventus late in the most recent transfer window, is one of the players Thiago Motta is heavily relying on this season. ............ The attacker was in fine form during the match but was taken off after 51 minutes following a knock. It appears that González sustained an ankle injury. However, both Juventus and Argentina have yet to make an official statement regarding his condition, as the Old Lady hopes the injury is not serious. ............

Stefano Impallomeni not sure if giving Yildiz the number 10 shirt was right Pundit Stefano Impallomeni has weighed in on Juventus’ decision to assign the number 10 shirt to Kenan Yıldız. The Bianconeri have made it clear that Yıldız will be a central figure in their plans for the coming years, reflecting their trust in his potential. The Turkish youngster has experienced a swift ascent in football over the past few seasons and is now a regular member of the Juve first team. ............ Impallomeni has now commented, and when asked if he thinks it was a good decision to hand Yildiz the shirt number, he said: “I like it, but I don’t know. The number 10 of Juve is heavy, and cumbersome. I don’t know how much it can facilitate his growth. It’s a psychological issue. It’s the shirt worn by Platini and Del Piero, are we sure that his talent is so enormous? When you’re young you have to be presumptuous; you want to break the world, but then you need confirmation. We’ll see if Motta will be good at turning him into a champion, for now, he isn’t.” ............

Vladimir Jugovic defends Motta’s decision on Douglas Luiz Many have noticed Thiago Motta’s continued decision to bench Douglas Luiz, despite the Brazilian being one of the standout midfielders in the Premier League last season. ............ Luiz’s situation is particularly notable, as Juventus sacrificed two players and added cash to bring him into their squad. While Luiz is eager to earn his place in the starting lineup, former Juve star Vladimir Jugović has supported Motta’s decision to gradually integrate him into the team: “I think no one better than Thiago Motta can understand and manage a Brazilian midfielder coming from a foreign league. “The impression is that Thiago Motta is protecting Douglas Luiz while waiting for his true physical takeoff. At Juventus, you must be at the top to play. It was like that in my time and will always be so.” ............

Juventus could offload Danilo at the end of this season Danilo has been struggling to get game time at Juventus this season, which comes as a surprise, given that he was one of the most trusted players under the former Juventus manager. ............ Danilo has lost his starting spot this season, with Nicolo Savona playing ahead of him at right-back and Federico Gatti being preferred at centre-back. So far, Juventus has shown they can perform without Danilo and the club may be open to letting him leave as early as January. If he doesn’t secure a move by then, Juventus could push for his departure at the end of the season. Danilo is one of the club’s highest earners, so if he’s not an integral part of their plans, they are likely to encourage him to move on. ............

Luca Toni has his say as on Douglas Luiz’s bench role at Juventus Douglas Luiz was one of the first players to join Juventus during Thiago Motta’s overhaul, but the midfielder has yet to secure a starting spot at the Allianz Stadium. ............ Many expected Luiz to be a regular starter, and his situation may become even more challenging with Teun Koopmeiners now in the mix as an option for Motta. Asked what he thinks of Luiz’s time warming the bench at the club so far, Luca Toni said: “We’ve all understood, even us from the outside, that Thiago Motta doesn’t base decisions on the name behind the shirt but on what he sees in training. “Everyone benefits if a player understands him, mainly because Douglas Luiz’s quality and international relevance aren’t questioned.” ............
