Xavier Jacobelli reckons Juventus target is worth 60 million euros Journalist Xavier Jacobelli has commented on Juventus’ pursuit of Teun Koopmeiners from Atalanta. The midfielder is their main target for the summer, and Juve considers him the player who will complete their midfield rebuild. ............ Juve is working to raise the necessary funds, and according to Jacobelli, this fee reflects the quality of the Dutchman and is a fair valuation. “The 60 million euros Atalanta are asking for Koopmeiners is a fair price and the success of the operation will depend on Juventus. On the other hand, the fact that Chiesa and Soulé are on the market means that he is looking for money to sign the Dutchman. Atalanta has a contract with him until 2027, so they are in a strong position.” ............ Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/xavier-jacobelli-reckons-juventus-target-is-worth-60-million-euros/

Cabal: ‘I was always a Juventus fan as a kid’ Juan Cabal had a photograph on social media of himself as a child in a counterfeit Juventus jersey, but now gets to wear it for real after an €11m transfer. ‘I was always a Juve fan.’ This perhaps explains why the Colombia international was so eager to switch over and join the Bianconeri yesterday, despite having already agreed personal terms and a move to Inter. When Cristiano Giuntoli approached, the 23-year-old had no doubts and passed his medical this morning, completing the transfer from Hellas Verona for €11m plus up to €3.8m in bonuses. “I am very happy, as this is one of the biggest clubs in the world and I am so overjoyed to wear this jersey,” Cabal told the official club website. Following the swoop, an image went viral from Cabal’s social media accounts showing him as a kid in a knock-off Juve shirt. “As a kid, I wore this jersey that was not an original one, and now I get to wear the legendary Juventus shirt and I am so happy. I was always a Juve fan.” ............ “I am someone who can play both positions, I’m very quick and well-behaved, both on and off the field. My idols are Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos.” ............ “Everyone in Colombia is celebrating, because this is an important step for me, my family and all the kids who also have a dream and can see me making it happen.” Read more -> https://football-italia.net/cabal-i-was-always-a-juventus-fan-as-a-kid/

Official: Juan Cabal completes Juventus transfer Juventus have officially signed Juan Cabal from Hellas Verona for €11m plus up to another €3.8m in bonuses, snatching him from under the noses of Inter. The left-back, who can also play as a central defender, had been all set for a move to San Siro after the clubs agreed a €10m plus bonuses move and personal terms too. However, yesterday Juve swooped in and suddenly managed to secure a deal instead. ............ Juventus have paid Verona €11m – payable over three financial years – with the addition of ancillary costs up to €1.8m. There are also performance-related bonuses of up to €2m.

Explaining Douglas Luiz’s new Juventus role after move from Aston Villa Thiago Motta is planning to use new Juventus signing Douglas Luiz as a central defender in some games and ‘depending on opponents’ but insists central midfielders must be able to do ‘everything.’ ............ “He is a great footballer. We did a great job in having him here. He plays for Brazil, which is not a small thing. He had an important season, qualifying for the Champions League for a team [Aston Villa] that was not among the candidates,” said Motta. “He is a complete footballer who will easily adapt to our playing style. He must be able to change roles during the game and, defensively, depending on our opponents, he will also play as a defender.” ............ “To me, midfielders must do everything,” he said. “Defend, attack, know how to play the ball, tackle and score. We only have strong players here, and I think all the midfielders who will remain here will be able to do everything.” ............

Is Cabal a new Calafiori for Thiago Motta at Juventus? Juventus are on the verge of signing Juan Cabal from Hellas Verona and the two roles the Colombian can cover suggest he may be a new Riccardo Calafiori for Thiago Motta in Turin. Verona defender Cabal arrived in Turin this morning to undergo medical tests with Juventus ahead of a permanent €12m transfer, including add-ons. ............ His versatility reminds of Bologna star Calafiori who joined the Rossoblu as a left-back last summer, but developed into a centre-back under Motta at the Stadio Dall’Ara in 2023-24. Motta will be unveiled as the new Juventus coach at a press conference later today when he will likely discuss his ideas on Cabal. ............ There are, however, clear differences between the two defenders, as their price tags suggest. As mentioned, Cabal will move to Turin on a €10m deal plus €2m add-ons, while Calafiori is expected to join Arsenal for over €50m. ............ Cabal is a year older than Calafiori, but the Italian international was clearly unaffordable for the Bianconeri after impressive performances for Bologna and during the Euros. ............

Michele Padovano insists Chiesa has not been good enough for Juventus The future of Federico Chiesa is uncertain at Juventus, and it has also divided the club’s fanbase. ............ With a year left on his contract, Juve is ready to sell him if he does not sign the contract they have offered him. Chiesa is still considered a good player by some Juve fans and neutrals, but ex-Bianconeri star Michele Padovano insists he has not performed well in the last few seasons. He said: “Given the last year and a half, Chiesa is not a player who has shown himself to be worthy of Juventus and the club will seriously evaluate the offers they deem most appropriate for him. And then he doesn’t seem to be particularly appreciated by Thiago Motta, so reading between the lines he seems to me to be a player who is more than expendable.” ............

Soule is now complicating Juventus summer plans with his insistence on joining Roma Matias Soule does not want to move to the Premier League, where Leicester City wants to sign him, and this is bad news for Juventus. ............ Leicester City is willing to pay €35 million plus €5 million in add-ons to sign him now. However, the attacker prefers to move to AS Roma because he wants to stay in Serie A. The Giallorossi are also interested in signing him, but they are only willing to pay €20 million plus €5 million in add-ons for his signature. This means Juve will miss out on a significant amount if they cannot get him to change his mind and move to the Premier League club. ............

Genoa insists on their asking price for Juventus target Last season, Juventus followed Genoa star Albert Gudmundsson closely as he consistently delivered good performances for the Griffin. He ended the season with 14 goals and 4 assists and could have left Genoa in January. ............ Genoa is looking to sell the 27-year-old for 35m euros and they prefer a cash-only deal. They insist he is worth at least that fee, but his suitors, including Juve, disagree. The Bianconeri do not consider him such an important target, and they certainly will not pay that much money to sign him. His other suitors seem to share the same sentiment and will probably not move to sign him unless Genoa reduces their asking price. ............

Juventus swoop in, agree to deal for Inter transfer target Juan Cabal Surprise transfer move incoming! Because of financial issues both clubs have had over the last couple of years, it hasn’t been often that Juventus and Inter Milan have rivaled one another for a player on the transfer market. When they have rivaled one another for a player, that has usually meant Juve coming in and snatching an Inter target right from under their noise, the most notable being Bremer two summers ago in the wake of Matthijs de Ligt heading to Bayern Munich. Well, my friends, I have something to say: It’s time to add another one to the list. According to multiple reports, Juventus and Hellas Verona have agreed to a deal for fullback Juan Cabal. What makes it all the more of a surprising move is that Juve’s arch rival, Inter, looked all set themselves to sign Cabal until about 12 hours ago before Cristiano Giuntoli jumped in and snatched the 23-year-old Colombian away from Beppe Marotta’s hands. Juve will reportedly pay around €12 million to Hellas Verona for Cabal, who arrived in Italy from Colombia in 2022 after playing for Atlético Nacional. Cabal will be paid around €1.2 million per season. Considering that this will be a deal involving two Serie A clubs, Juventus are still able to make it happen even though Cabal would normally take up a non-EU spot on the roster. ............ Cabal, on paper, very much fits the mold of what you would expect a Thiago Motta-managed fullback would like to do. ............ Sound defensively and somebody who is able to contribute on the offensive end of things? Well, well, well .. that sounds like something that Motta can certainly use on his team. It will reportedly cost Juventus a couple million euros more than what Inter was set to pay. ............ Cabal will be just the second-ever Colombian player to appear for Juventus’ senior squad after Cuadrado.

Vasilije Adžić Nazionalità Montenegro Altezza 185 cm Peso 75 kg Calcio Ruolo Centrocampista Squadra Juventus Carriera Squadre di club 2022-2024 Budućnost 58 (9) 2024- Juventus Next Gen 10 (4) 2024- Juventus 9 (0) Nazionale 2021 Montenegro U-15 1 (0) 2021-2022 Montenegro U-16 3 (0) 2021-2023 Montenegro U-17 16 (5) 2022 Montenegro U-18 1 (0) 2023- Montenegro U-19 7 (4) 2023-2024 Montenegro U-21 4 (1) 2025- Montenegro 1 (1) Caratteristiche tecniche Giocatore molto duttile, nasce come trequartista o ala sinistra, ma può benissimo ricoprire anche il ruolo di centrocampista centrale; occasionalmente, può essere impiegato anche come punta centrale. Destro capace di abbinare forza fisica a velocità e grandissima tecnica, è molto bravo sia nei colpi di testa, sia nel tiro, creativo e preciso, dalla distanza, sia nei calci piazzati. Per le sue qualità è stato paragonato a Kevin De Bruyne e Steven Gerrard. L'11 ottobre 2023 il quotidiano britannico The Guardian lo inserisce nella lista dei migliori giocatori nati nel 2006 a livello mondiale. Carriera Club Gli inizi, Budućnost Cresciuto nelle giovanili del Polet Stars, club con sede nella sua città natale, Nikšić, e del Budućnost Podgorica, Adžić esordisce con quest'ultima squadra il 28 agosto del 2022, entrando al 79' e segnando un goal dalla distanza all'88' nel match di campionato vinto per 4-0 sull'Arsenal Tivat. In tal modo, diventa il marcatore più giovane della storia del Budućnost e il secondo di tutti i tempi della massima serie montenegrina, dietro al solo Ilija Vukotić. Colleziona 23 presenze e tre reti nella sua prima stagione da professionista, con il Budućnost che si laurea campione di Montenegro. La stagione successiva diventa un titolare inamovibile della formazione dei Plavo-bijeli, disputando in totale 44 partite e mettendo a segno 8 goal: 6 in campionato, terminato in seconda posizione, 1 nella vittoriosa coppa del Montenegro e 1 nelle qualificazioni di UEFA Conference League, nel match di ritorno contro lo Struga Trim-Lum in cui mette a segno anche un assist; la sua ottima prestazione tuttavia non basta e il Budućnost perde 3-4, complessivamente 3-5. Juventus Nell'estate del 2024 si trasferisce alla Juventus per la cifra di 5,3 milioni di euro, più 3 di eventuali bonus, firmando un contratto fino al 2027. Debutta con la Vecchia Signora il 19 ottobre, subentrando a Khéphren Thuram al 72º minuto dell'incontro di Serie A vinta 1-0 contro la Lazio. Tre giorni dopo fa il suo esordio in Champions League, nella sconfitta per 0-1 contro lo Stoccarda, sostituendo Dušan Vlahović al 68'; occasionalmente, gioca nel ruolo di punta centrale. Il 31 ottobre disputa da titolare la sua prima partita con la seconda squadra, la Juventus Next Gen, nel match di Serie C perso 0-1 contro il Sorrento, mentre il 9 febbraio 2025 segna la sua prima rete con la formazione B bianconera, nel trionfo per 2-0 contro il Benevento. La prima esibizione in Coppa Italia avviene invece il 12 dicembre 2024, quando scende in campo all'81', al posto di Vlahović, in Juventus-Cagliari terminata 4-0 a favore delle zebre. Nazionale A livello internazionale, Adžić è sceso per la prima volta in campo con la nazionale under-15 montenegrina il 9 marzo 2021, disputando da titolare la partita vinta per 1-0 contro la Macedonia del Nord. Il primo goal con la selezione giovanile arriva due giorni dopo, quando il Montenegro sconfigge nuovamente la Macedonia, questa volta con il risultato di 2-0: entra al 60' al posto di Stefan Đukanović e al 74' centra l'obiettivo. Viene convocato poi dalle squadre under-16, under-17, under-18, under-19 e under-21. Adžić viene inizialmente convocato dal commissario tecnico Robert Prosinečki per le gare di UEFA Nations League contro Islanda e Galles di settembre 2024, ma è costretto a saltarle per recuperare da un infortunio al bicipite femorale. Trova la sua prima rete in nazionale maggiore il 9 giugno 2025, all'esordio assoluto, nel pareggio per 2-2 in amichevole contro l'Armenia.
