Adani praises Juve and reveals the difference between now and Allegri’s time Lele Adani was a frequent critic of Juventus under Max Allegri. Now that the Bianconeri have a new and more exciting manager, he is likely one of the happiest pundits. Juventus have quickly adapted to Thiago Motta’s style, playing fast-paced, attacking football and dominating their opponents. This is a stark contrast to the Allegri era, when Juve employed a more defensive, cautious approach and were often on the receiving end of strong attacking performances from their rivals. ............ The Bianconeri will continue to play that well and have already impressed Adani, who said: “The collective goes beyond these two games. It tells us that Juve has a strong idea and diametrically different from the one it had before with Allegri. Both in terms of competitiveness, therefore of being there and determining the event, and in the methodology. This is more important than the result. The collective emerges”. ............

Journalist says Juventus have now been unmasked At the start of the season, there was considerable uncertainty surrounding Juventus, and Bianconeri fans were unsure what to expect from their team. ............ In the transfer market, Juventus started slowly, but they are now ramping up their efforts. Jadon Sancho and Teun Koopmeiners are expected to join the squad in the final days of the transfer window. This would mean that Juventus will have one of the strongest squads in European football this season. Journalist Luca Marchetti notes that Juventus’s ambitions have been revealed, showcasing their strong desire for success. ............ “In the last few days of the market Giuntoli has brought Conceicao, Nico Gonzalez, Koopmeiners to Turin and now he is aiming for Sancho, so it can be said that Juve has thrown off the mask and is aiming for the big target . The Bianconeri are in the running for the Englishman and if Chiesa were to leave they could accelerate significantly. Of course, they can’t go beyond a loan and a lot of help from United will be needed, but the move could come.” ............

Carriera Inizia la sua carriera nella Sanremese – così come il suo futuro compagno di squadra al Carpi Riccardo Gagliolo – rimanendoci per due stagioni. Passa poi al Savona disputando una buona stagione, e nell'estate del 2010 firma per il Carpi, dove contribuisce alla doppia promozione dalla Lega Pro Seconda Divisione alla Serie B. Il debutto ufficiale in Serie B avviene il 7 settembre 2013 fuori casa contro lo Spezia. L'anno successivo, durante la stagione 2014-2015, contribuisce alla storica promozione in Serie A del Carpi, giocando 30 partite e segnando 2 reti, che gli hanno valso il rinnovo di contratto con i biancorossi fino al giugno 2019. Nell'ultimo giorno di mercato dell'estate del 2015 viene ceduto in prestito al Novara (22 presenze e 1 gol), nonostante avesse espresso la volontà di restare al Carpi. Dopo soli 6 mesi però, nel gennaio 2016, il Carpi decide di riprenderlo e Poli gioca 10 partite in Serie A, esordendo contro il Palermo e sfiorando la salvezza con la compagine emiliana, retrocessa per un punto all'ultima giornata ai danni dello stesso Palermo. Resta in rosa anche per la Serie B 2016-2017, prolungando il contratto fino al 30 giugno 2020. Dopo quattro stagioni con la maglia biancorossa numero 5, decide di cambiare definitivamente per la casacca numero 13, che aveva indossato anche nei mesi precedenti, poiché la 5 era sulle spalle di Cristian Zaccardo. Al termine del campionato, che vede i biancorossi raggiungere i playoff, Poli è titolare nell'epica semifinale contro il Frosinone, vinta dal Carpi in 9 uomini, e sarà titolare al posto di Gagliolo anche nelle due finali perse contro il Benevento, lasciando il campo al 51' della seconda per dare spazio a Kevin Lasagna. Nel 2016-2017 ottiene il maggior numero di presenze stagionali della sua carriera, ben 43. Dopo la cessione al Perugia di Raffaele Bianco, Poli diventa il nuovo capitano del Carpi per la stagione di Serie B 2017-2018, nella quale supera le 200 partite ufficiali con la maglia biancorossa. Il 3 febbraio 2018, in occasione della sfida contro la Salernitana, indossa una fascia speciale da capitano, in ricordo di Andrea Fortunato, Piermario Morosini e Flavio Falzetti (calciatori scomparsi prematuramente). Nella stagione di Serie B 2018-2019 viene confermato capitano. Il 16 settembre 2018 segna di testa nella sconfitta per 4-1 al Bentegodi contro l'Hellas Verona. Poli, autore in totale di 3 gol in un campionato che vedrà il Carpi retrocedere in Serie C da ultimo in classifica, va a bersaglio anche nel pareggio per 1-1 contro l'Ascoli (colpo di tacco) e nella sconfitta interna per 2-1 contro il Crotone. Dopo la retrocessione degli emiliani, con cui ha messo insieme in tutto 265 presenze e 12 gol, il 26 agosto 2019 viene acquistato a titolo definitivo dall’Entella, club ligure neo-promosso in B. Segna il suo primo gol con la nuova maglia alla sua seconda da titolare in Entella-Cosenza 1-0 del 29 ottobre. Si ripete quattro giorni dopo, ancora nei minuti finali, in Salernitana-Entella 2-1; in tutto saranno 5 i gol segnati in 16 presenze di campionato. Nella stagione seguente segna in una sola occasione in 27 partite di campionato che termina con la retrocessione dell'Entella. Il 9 agosto 2021 viene ceduto a titolo definitivo alla Juventus U23, la seconda squadra juventina militante in Serie C. Nella prima stagione, da fuori quota e capitano della squadra, colleziona 28 presenze totali e andando a segno una volta in campionato contro il Piacenza. Viene confermato anche la stagione successiva dai bianconeri che in estate cambiano nome in Juventus Next Gen.

Official: Juventus sign Nico Gonzalez Juventus have announced the signing of Nicolas Gonzales on loan with an obligation to buy from Fiorentina. ............ The 26-year-old arrived at the J|Medical Centre on Sunday morning to kickstart the routine procedures. And by the end of the day, Gonzalez has been officially unveiled as a Juventus player, becoming the club’s sixth signing of the summer. ............ Juventus will thus pay a loan fee worth 8 million euros, while the player’s purchase will cost another 25M payable in three installments, in addition to various bonuses that could reach 5 million. ............

What’s the minimum amount Juventus wants to make from selling Chiesa? Juventus appears close to selling Federico Chiesa to Barcelona, but there remains a gap between the clubs’ valuations of the attacker. Juventus is aiming to sell Chiesa for around €15 million, but Barcelona is not prepared to meet that asking price. The Catalan club is offering €10 million for the Euro 2020 winner, while Juventus hopes to reach a compromise with a sale price of approximately €12 million. Chiesa is also expected to make concessions, including a reduction in his current salary demands, to facilitate the transfer. ............

Juventus medicals booked for Nico Gonzalez and Conceicao Nico Gonzalez is arriving tonight and Francisco Conceicao expected tomorrow, as Juventus make two big deals to reinforce their wings in one day. Director Cristiano Giuntoli has been hard at work over the last 24 hours, managing to secure two important reinforcements for coach Thiago Motta. The first was the agreement with Fiorentina for Nico Gonzalez, who arrives on loan for €8m with an obligation to buy for a further €25m plus up to €5m in add-ons. ............ Meanwhile, Francisco Conceicao is expected to land at Caselle Airport in Turin on Sunday, with his physical check-up scheduled for Monday. This is expected to be a dry loan, meaning there is no option to make it permanent. That makes this a surprisingly costly borrowing of a talented young player for €7m plus €2m in performance-related bonuses. ............

Atalanta wants to keep Koopmeiners and their delay tactic could work in their favour Juventus’ biggest obstacle in their pursuit of Teun Koopmeiners may not be a competing club, but Atalanta themselves. La Dea is fully aware of the value they hold in the Dutch midfielder and remain determined to keep him despite Juventus’ persistent interest. Juve has been tracking Koopmeiners since last season, with their intention to sign him being one of the worst-kept secrets in Italian football. Koopmeiners is reportedly eager to make the move to Turin and has been taking steps to push through the transfer. He is currently in a self-imposed medical exile from the team. ............ Despite Koopmeiners’ desire to leave, Atalanta views him as a crucial part of their team and is reluctant to let him go. The delay in responding to Juventus’ offer appears to be partly due to their hope of convincing him to stay. ............

Juventus suffers an injury blow before their game against Verona Juventus faces an injury concern ahead of their match against Verona on Monday. ............ Verona is set to be a tough test for Juve, and Thiago Motta is keen to have all his key players fit and available. However, the Bianconeri may be without Danilo, as the Brazilian defender picked up an injury during a recent training session. ............ Unfortunately, the report indicates that Danilo has suffered a contused trauma to his left heel and might miss the upcoming game. A final decision on his availability will be made on Sunday. ............ Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/juventus-suffers-an-injury-blow-before-their-game-against-verona/

Preview: Hellas Verona vs Juventus – Team News, Line-ups & Prediction Serie A Gameweek 2 rounds off at Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi with an exciting clash between Hellas Verona and Juventus. Both teams got the new season off to a flying start, meaning another top-flight side will lose grip on a perfect league record on Monday. Netting three unanswered second-half goals against the odds saw Verona hand new Napoli manager Antonio Conte the worst possible debut last week. Dailon Livramento’s opener, followed by Daniel Mosquera’s double, inspired the Gialloblu to a memorable 3-0 home win on the opening weekend. ............ However, Zanetti’s ambitious hopes face a formidable challenge with a new-look Juventus rolling into town. Like his Verona counterpart, Thiago Motta enjoyed a stellar touchline debut on week one as the Bianconeri dismantled newly-promoted Como 3-0 in Turin last Monday. Prodigious forward Samuel Mbangula ran the show at the Allianz Stadium with a goal and an assist. Timothy Weah and Andrea Cambiaso joined the youngster on the scoresheet to propel Juventus to a much-needed winning start to the new league campaign. After a promising start, Juventus cannot afford to take their feet off the gas if they look to end a four-year title drought in Serie A. Match Preview Hellas Verona Verona defied the odds against Napoli, and it’s hard to put it past them to pull off another upset. Despite their relatively underwhelming home league record last season (W6, D6, L7), the Gialloblu fared outstandingly well against the best Serie A clubs at Marc’Antonio Bentegodi. ............ Juventus Motta’s side made light work of Como last weekend, but that was barely a novelty to Juventus supporters. They’ve got used to Bianconeri’s strong league starts, as it was their third consecutive 3-0 win at the beginning of a new Serie A season. However, recent history can hardly fill the visitors with confidence. Juventus followed a thumping day-one victory with a draw in round two in both previous campaigns. It’s up to Motta to buck that trend and prove he can guide the record-time Italian champions to Serie A glory. That’s not a simple task. Juventus notoriously struggled on their travels in the second half of last season, failing to pick up three points on eight consecutive Serie A road trips (D5, L3). It was back in January when they last won a league game away from home, beating Lecce 3-0. Team News As for Juventus, Khephren Thuram and Weah have joined Arkadiusz Milik in the treatment room, shortening Motta’s options. Filip Kostic and Federico Chiesa are up for sale and, therefore, omitted from the squad. Douglas Luiz and Cambiaso could fill the vacancies. Hellas Verona vs Juventus Potential Line-ups Hellas Verona (4-2-3-1): Lorenzo Montipo; Jackson Tchatchoua, Diego Coppola, Pawel Dawidowicz, Martin Frese; Reda Belahyane, Ondrej Duda; Dailon Livramento, Abdou Harroui, Darko Lazovic; Daniel Mosquera. Juventus (4-2-3-1): Michele Di Gregorio; Danilo, Federico Gatti, Gleison Bremer, Juan Cabal; Manuel Locatelli, Douglas Luiz; Andrea Cambiaso, Kenan Yildiz, Samuel Mbangoula; Dusan Vlahovic. Hellas Verona vs Juventus Prediction Juventus head into proceedings as favorites, but won’t be a walk in the park for Motta’s charges. Verona looked coherent and confident against Napoli, and if they can replicate their performance, they might take a point here. But we’d stick with the visitors’ narrow win, nonetheless.

Preview: Hellas Verona vs. Juventus - prediction, team news, lineups Both 3-0 winners on Serie A's opening matchday, Hellas Verona and Juventus aim to continue in the same vein on Monday, when they meet at Stadio Bentegodi. After Verona stunned Napoli with a superb second-half display, new-look Juve crushed newly-promoted Como in their first game under Thiago Motta. Match preview Making the most of a relatively kind start to the fixture list, Juventus came flying out of the blocks last weekend, as they began their latest quest to regain the Scudetto in convincing style. Surprise debutant Samuel Mbangula fired the Bianconeri in front against Como, before Timothy Weah added a second goal just before the break, and Andrea Cambiaso's stoppage-time strike served as the cherry on top of the icing for new boss Thiago Motta. Still busy in the transfer market as Juve's overhaul continues, the Turin side showed early signs of improvement, recording the highest passing accuracy on Serie A's opening matchday (92%) and being the only team not to face a single shot on target. Motta was hired to bring both proactive football and some silverware back to Italy's most successful club, after his Bologna team surprisingly secured Champions League qualification by keeping a number of clean sheets. His new-look squad may have impressed on opening night, but Juve must surely set about fixing a dismal away record if they are to challenge for the title: they have failed to win any of their last eight league games on the road, which is the club's worst such run since 1999. They have, though, won four of their last five against Hellas Verona, keeping a clean sheet in each victory - and Motta's men will be fired up to continue that trend. ............ Team News After both started last week's win over Como, Timothy Weah and Khephren Thuram succumbed to injuries and will not be involved in Verona, while Arkadiusz Milik is still sidelined by a knee problem. In any case, the latter is part of a group expected to leave Juventus before the transfer window slides shut, alongside Tiago Djalo, Filip Kostic, Arthur and Federico Chiesa. Thuram's fellow new boys Douglas Luiz, Michele Di Gregorio and ex-Verona full-back Juan Cabal should all start on Monday, but long-awaited deals for Nico Gonzalez and Teun Koopmeiners have not yet been completed. Following his debut goal against Como, youth graduate Samuel Mbangula could become the first player to score in both of his first two league appearances for Juve since Carlos Tevez in August 2013. ............ Hellas Verona possible starting lineup: Montipo; Tchatchoua, Coppola, Dawidowicz, Frese; Belahyane, Duda; Livramento, Harroui, Lazovic; Mosquera Juventus possible starting lineup: Di Gregorio; Danilo, Gatti, Bremer, Cabal; Locatelli, Luiz; Cambiaso, Yildiz, Mbangoula; Vlahovic We say: Hellas Verona 0-2 Juventus There is early evidence that Juventus will be more coherent under Thiago Motta, so they should prove a much tougher nut to crack than Verona's opening opponents, an ailing Napoli side. Juve look revived, so with Dusan Vlahovic up front and plenty of pace out wide, they can exploit any weaknesses in the hosts' defence.

Hellas Verona vs Juventus: Preview After strong opening results to start the 2024/25 Serie A season weekend, Hellas Verona and Juventus face off at the Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi on Serie A Matchday 2. Juventus began the new Serie A season brilliantly under new coach Thiago Motta, earning a 3-0 win against Como 1907, and there were several things to be impressed by – most notably the stylistic changes brought by the former Bologna boss. The Old Lady were not the only impressive side on Serie A Matchday 1, though. Hellas Verona were superb against Napoli, and they too strode to a 3-0 victory. New signing Daniel Mosquera was the star of the show and Paolo Zanetti will hope he can recreate his performance this weekend. Hellas Verona vs Juventus: Predicted line-ups After the Bianconeri’s opening-day win, Motta is expected to make two changes to the side that won 3-0. Danilo is expected to return to the Juventus XI, which could push Andrea Cambiaso onto the wing. Additionally, Douglas Luiz could be offered a chance to start the fixture ahead of Khephren Thuram – the Brazilian midfielder played the final 10 minutes of the game and against Como and is likely to be given the nod from the off. ............ Hellas Verona predicted XI vs Juventus (4-2-3-1): Montipo; Tchatchoua, Dawidowicz, Coppola, Frese; Belahyane, Duda; Livramento, Harroui, Lazovic; Tengstedt. Juventus predicted XI vs Hellas Verona (4-2-3-1): Di Gregorio; Danilo, Bremer, Gatti, Cabal; Luiz, Locatelli; Cambiaso, Yildiz, Mbangula; Vlahovic. Serie A: When does Hellas Verona vs Juventus start? Kick-off in the Serie A Matchday 2 fixture of Hellas Verona vs Juventus is set for 20:45 CEST, local time in Italy, on Monday, August 26. For viewers in the United Kingdom and Ireland, the game will start at 19:45 BST. That is 14:45 EDT / 11:45 PDT in the United States. ............

Juventus asks Man Utd to contribute to Sancho’s salary before they sign him Jadon Sancho is becoming an important transfer target for Juventus as the Bianconeri intensify their pursuit of the Manchester United star. ............ The Red Devils are reportedly open to letting the attacker leave before the transfer window closes and could be willing to sell him for as low as €40 million. However, even if Juventus prefers a loan deal, they would face challenges in covering his wages. Juventus has requested that United cover part of Sancho’s wages to facilitate the move. His current salary is too high for Juventus to bear alone, making United’s contribution crucial to any potential deal. ............

Done deal: Juventus reach Nico Gonzalez agreement with Fiorentina Multiple outlets in Italy are reporting that Juventus have now reached a final agreement with Fiorentina over the transfer of Argentine winger and recent Copa America winner Nico Gonzalez. ............ The Bianconeri have agreed to bring Nico Gonzalez in on loan with an obligation to buy. Most outlets agree that the deal will cost Juventus a total of €38m. It will be a €8m fee to bring him in on loan for the season, with a €25m buy clause plus €5m in bonuses for a total of €38m. That is not far off the €40m price tag that Fiorentina had originally been seeking. Nico Gonzalez already agreed a package on personal terms with the Old Lady earlier this month, and is reportedly ready to sign off on a €3.5m per-year contract. ............

Juventus seal move for Porto’s Francisco Conceicao Serie A giants Juventus close a deal with Porto for Francisco Conceicao’s transfer. Francisco Conceicao is set to join Juventus on a season-long loan spell. The Portuguese will arrive in Turin tomorrow to complete his medical examinations and sign his contract. The Bianconeri reached an agreement with the Primeira Liga side for the player on a €7 million plus €2 million in bonuses deal. Conceicao was not called up by Porto in their last match versus Rio Ave as he was part of final negotiations. ............

Juventus finalize deals for Nico Gonzalez, Francisco Conceiçao ............ According to reports out of Italy on Saturday, Juventus have finalized deals for both Fiorentina’s Nico Gonzalez as well as Porto’s Francisco Conceiçao. Not one, but two wingers will arrive in the final week of the summer transfer window and Thiago Motta will get two of the technical wide players that Giuntoli has been chasing for the better part of the last month. Both players will arrive on initial loan deals, with Gonzalez’s loan fee being €8 million with there being an obligation to buy worth a total package of around €37 million and Conceiçao costing Juve €7 million plus another €2 million in bonuses for the season-long loan. Considering how the last 24 hours have been when it comes to rumors about Juventus chasing wingers — Gonzalez, Conceiçao and Manchester United’s Jadon Sancho — it only made sense that news of the two deals being closed came in relatively short order. ............ But for now, we know that Juventus have two talented wingers about to join the squad. As we bid farewell to Federico Chiesa and scramble to learn anything we can about Samuel Mbangula, Giuntoli has secured Gonzalez, a winger who already knows Serie A quite well, and Conceiçao, who could very well bounce between both wings depending on the situation. (Remember, if Koopmeiners arrives the expectation is that Kenan Yildiz slides out wide to the left wing.) ............

Juventus will help Empoli complete move for fringe player One player Juventus might struggle to offload this summer is Mattia de Sciglio, and the club is eager for him to leave. The injury-prone defender has had difficulty staying fit for several seasons and has one year remaining on his contract at the Allianz Stadium. ............ Empoli has been given the opportunity to sign the defender and appears open to the idea. However, his salary is a significant obstacle. Even if Juventus is willing to let him join Empoli for free, his net salary of €1.5 million per season is too high for them to cover. Juventus is now considering making concessions to facilitate his departure. The Bianconeri are prepared to offer him a severance package to terminate his contract, which would help smooth his move to Empoli. ............
