Unhappy Juventus star requests that he be allowed to leave Mattia Perin has formally requested Juventus to sell him this summer after another season in which he featured very little. Since returning from a loan spell at Genoa in 2021, Perin has consistently been the club’s second-choice goalkeeper, rarely securing significant playing time. At 32 years old, he has expressed a clear desire for more minutes on the pitch, which he feels he is unlikely to receive at Juventus. ............ During the tenure of former manager Thiago Motta, the Brazilian-Italian coach alternated between Perin and Michele di Gregorio, providing the veteran goalkeeper with occasional game time. However, the arrival of Igor Tudor altered the dynamics significantly. Tudor has shown a preference for consistency in goal and has stuck with Di Gregorio as his first-choice keeper whenever he has been fit. As a result, Perin’s appearances dropped sharply, culminating in just five Serie A games during the 2024/2025 campaign. ............ Perin has now asked the club to facilitate a transfer during the upcoming summer window. The report further claims that the goalkeeper is not willing to be part of Juventus’ squad for the Club World Cup and is actively seeking a solution to his future. It is clear that Perin wants to be the first-choice goalkeeper, whether that be at Juventus or at another club. ............ .

Juventus plans meeting to renew Igor Tudor’s contract Igor Tudor is now expected to sign a new contract, only days after it appeared he was on the verge of being replaced. The Croatian manager, who took charge in March, was reportedly at risk of being dismissed at the end of the season. Juventus had considered alternatives, including Antonio Conte and Gian Piero Gasperini, as they explored potential managerial changes. ............ The decision to continue with Tudor has been welcomed within the club, and the manager himself is said to be pleased with the support he has received. He has reportedly been assured that there will be investment in the squad, allowing him to build a side more suited to his tactical requirements ahead of the new campaign. Juventus has scheduled a meeting with Tudor in the coming days, one of the key purposes being for him to sign a contract extension. The new deal will reportedly run until 2027, underlining the club’s renewed commitment to long-term planning and stability. ............ Juventus are eager to return to its previous heights, with ambitions not just limited to domestic competitions. Securing another trophy remains a high priority, and there is significant interest in making a strong showing at the upcoming Club World Cup. While those targets are ambitious, the club’s leadership believe Tudor can help restore Juventus to the upper levels of European and international football. ............ .

Comolli talks winning ‘obsession,’ approach at first Juventus press conference Damien Comolli wasted little time Tuesday saying who Juventus’ manager next season would be, with the club deciding to stick with Igor Tudor after he joined them on an interim basis in mid-March. But there was still plenty of curiosity about what Juventus’ new general manager had to say even beyond his opening remarks. Mostly because up until this point, the 52-year-old Comolli was a relative unknown in the circles of those who are very focused on Serie A. ............ At his introductory press conference, Comolli hit on a variety of topics — from his approach to building a roster and approaching the sport in 2025, how data influences his decision making process, what Giorgio Chiellini’s role in this new-look front office will be and the remaining spots that need to be filled alongside him. ............ “I think identity is fundamental in the current sports industry. We are in the entertainment business, we gift emotions, but it is important to create a strong identity. The “moneyball” model aims to rationalise a very irrational industry like football. This model has helped me make the right, considered choices, based on careful evaluation. We mustn’t be afraid of this association between data and football because it can prove useful. My obsession is to try to win, but also to try to improve every day to gain an advantage over other teams, and for me, the best way to do that is to use data.” ............ “I have been working with data for 25 years now, I have a background in data analysis. I have never come across a more rational approach than that linked to data analysis. We will use data in different areas; it will guide us in measuring the strength of our team compared to our opponents, but data will also help us manage our business strategy. It is fundamental at all levels: it is part of my life and I know exactly how it works because I have used it in my previous experiences.” ............ “We will have a Sporting Director who will be responsible for transfer dealings and will also be part of the committee mentioned above, with a focus on the youth sector. There will also be a Technical Director who will have other responsibilities and will also report to me.” ............ “Giorgio Chiellini will have a strategic role, not just a role focused on the pitch but also off it. He will also be a key figure in the commercial sphere. There are several aspects that we are working on together. Giorgio and I will move from one area to another and discuss things on a daily basis. We have also set up a Football Strategy Committee, of which Giorgio will be a member.” ............ “We talked about the current squad, obviously taking Tudor’s approach into account. There are certainly adjustments to be made, but I can tell you that there will be no radical changes.” ............ “The first time I met the owners, I said that I would do everything to try to win every competition we played in. That doesn’t mean we’ll succeed, but that has to be the ambition. When you wear the Juventus jersey, you have to take to the pitch to win every time. I want to convey my passion to the club, but I know it’s already there and I’ll make sure it stays strong.” .

Official: Juventus confirms Igor Tudor will be their manager next season Juventus has brought an end to speculation over Igor Tudor’s future by officially confirming him as their manager for the next season. The Bianconeri had hoped to bring in a more experienced coach to replace the Croatian, pursuing Antonio Conte as their primary target. Additionally, Gian Piero Gasperini was considered as a potential option. However, both candidates declined Juventus’s advances, leaving the club in a difficult situation. With the Club World Cup approaching rapidly, Juventus needed to make a timely decision regarding the managerial position. After careful consideration, the club decided to retain Tudor, not only to lead the team in the upcoming tournament but also to manage the squad throughout the 2025–2026 season. ............ Speaking through Juventus’s official X account, Comolli said, “Igor Tudor will be our coach for the 2025/26 season. We’re working together, and I want to reiterate that he will be our coach next season.” His statement serves to reassure fans and stakeholders that the club is committed to continuity under Tudor’s leadership. ............ The club believes Tudor has fulfilled the objectives set when he was appointed. His ability to stabilise the team and meet set targets has earned him the trust of the new management. Juventus are therefore convinced that maintaining stability by retaining Tudor as manager is the best course of action for their ambitions. ............ .

Damien Comolli explains Chiellini’s role at Juventus Giorgio Chiellini has recently been appointed Juventus’s Director of Football Strategy, a role that grants him considerably more influence than his previous position, though he is not the club’s most powerful board member. This change reflects Juventus’s growing desire to involve former players who deeply understand the values of the institution and can represent both the squad and its supporters authentically. ............ Chiellini’s promotion has been welcomed by the club, who value his vast experience in both on and off‑field matters. He is expected to play a pivotal role in steering the football strategy forward, particularly with regard to youth development and the integration of the first team with the academy structure. ............ Damien Comolli provided further detail on Chiellini’s responsibilities: “He will also be the technical director, and we will work closely together from a footballing and commercial point of view. I could talk about Giorgio’s role for five minutes. We were part of the same committee at UEFA, he will be represented at Lega Calcio and UEFA. I am passionate about the youth sector, we will move from one area to another, we have collaborated well together. We have created a committee on football strategy that will discuss young people and the first team and Giorgio will be part of this. He will not deal with the market or training.” ............ Chiellini’s appointment represents Juventus’s commitment to reinforcing its football operations with individuals who possess both professional expertise and a genuine connection to the club’s identity. ............ Juventus fans are hopeful that Chiellini can replicate his success off the field, guiding the club back to prominence in a leadership capacity that aligns with the values they have cherished for decades. .

How much does Juventus want for underperforming Douglas Luiz? Douglas Luiz was regarded as one of the finest midfielders in the Premier League during the 2023–2024 season, which made his move to Juventus a significant moment in the club’s rebuilding efforts. The Bianconeri, aiming to re-establish themselves as a dominant force both domestically and in Europe, secured his signature at the end of that campaign as part of a broader strategy to restore competitiveness. ............ A comparison between clips of Luiz’s final season in the Premier League and his recent displays for Juventus reveals a stark contrast. While he had previously been praised for his composure, technical ability and consistency, his form in Italy has fallen short of expectations. There is no denying the Brazilian’s talent, but his current level of performance has raised concerns within the club. In order to remain in Turin, he must demonstrate significant improvement. Juventus appear to be losing confidence in Luiz, though they are still hopeful that he can prove them wrong by rediscovering his best form. ............ The Bianconeri reportedly view Luiz as a potential departure in the upcoming summer transfer window. The club would be open to selling him for a fee in the region of 35 million euros. They consider this valuation reasonable, independent of his recent performances, and are prepared to listen to offers at that price point. ............ The upcoming weeks could be decisive for Luiz, as he looks to revive his standing in the squad and avoid an early exit from the Allianz Stadium. .

Impressive Juventus youngster scores on his senior national team debut Vasilije Adzic has been regarded as one of Montenegro’s finest players for several years, with many believing he will develop into a star in the future. Despite making a summer move to Juventus, the young forward has primarily been competing for Montenegro’s youth national teams. However, during the recent international break, Adzic was handed his senior debut for Montenegro in their match against Armenia. ............ Adzic’s impressive form for the Juventus Next Gen team, which also earned him a place in the Bianconeri first team, convinced the national coaches to give him a chance at senior level during this break. He made sure his debut was memorable by scoring in the game, demonstrating exactly why he is considered such an exciting young talent to follow. ............ Scoring on his senior debut for Montenegro is a significant milestone for the youngster, and it highlights his readiness to compete at a higher level. This breakthrough moment is expected to increase his opportunities for further senior international appearances and strengthen his case to feature regularly for Juventus’ first team. ............ . Adzic is a very exciting talent, and the attacker will surely be an important player for us in the future. It is encouraging that Juventus have such a promising young player in their ranks, and both the club and the national team are keen to see his continued development. ............ .

How Tudor will know the players he needs at Juventus next season Igor Tudor is set to remain in charge of Juventus at the start of next season following the club’s unsuccessful efforts to appoint a replacement. After exploring several managerial options, the Bianconeri were either turned down or found that potential candidates were unavailable, forcing the club to continue with the current manager in place. ............ Tudor is set to use the Club World Cup as an opportunity to evaluate his players in a competitive setting. Juventus will participate in the prestigious tournament this summer, and the manager views it as an ideal platform to assess player commitment and performance under pressure. Those who approach the competition with focus and determination will strengthen their position within the squad. Conversely, players who show a lack of engagement or fall short in terms of work ethic are unlikely to meet the standards required to remain at Juventus. ............ In addition to performances during the tournament, Tudor will also pay close attention to each player’s physical condition upon their return from a short summer break. Those who report back in poor shape or exhibit signs of neglecting personal fitness may be considered unfit for the club’s high standards. ............ .

Juventus have checked in on Viktor Gyökeres There are many things that are uncertain about Juventus’ roster, but the position group that seems to be the most in doubt is in attack, where the Bianconeri’s new-look front office are expected to make a fair amount of changes. ............ That means Juve’s new general manager is likely going to be busy. It also means we have a new name they look to be checking in on: Say hello to Viktor Gyökeres. ............ Juventus have made some calls to Portugal in regard to the in-demand 27-year-old Gyökeres, who is coming off a huge season with Sporting CP. Depending on the source, Juventus’ interest of even going into negotiations with Sporting vary from there. Gyökeres is to be considered Juventus’ “dream signing” this summer and his profile is one the club “likes a lot” and will try and acquire despite multiple big spenders in the Premier League have interest. Juve have talked with Gyökeres’ camp to assess the situation, saying the Swedish international “likes the new Juve.” ............ That Premier League interest is mostly coming from big spenders Arsenal and Manchester United, with both clubs very much in the market for a new No. 9 ahead of the 2025-26 season. With those two clubs — and their massive resources — circling around one of the bigger names on the striker market, the question is: How much could Sporting realistically ask for Gyökeres this summer? A reported price tag upward of €60 million or €70 million has been thrown out there — which, knowing who else is potentially in the running, is probably not much of a surprise. ............ Where Juventus fit into all of this still seems a little bit of an unknown. But hey, they’re checking in on things, so it’s not like the new guy is sitting around and waiting for the Club World Cup to happen before trying to make some moves. .

Why does it make sense to keep Kolo Muani? Juventus are reportedly in talks to retain Randal Kolo Muani beyond the end of his current loan spell, which is due to expire at the close of this month. The French forward joined the Bianconeri on a temporary deal from Paris Saint-Germain last summer and has since emerged as a significant figure in their attacking unit. ............ Though some observers may argue that his form dipped at various stages, Kolo Muani has arguably been the club’s most influential attacker since the beginning of 2025. His impact has been visible both in terms of goals and in his adaptability within the squad. Following the arrival of Igor Tudor as manager, Kolo Muani temporarily lost his place in the starting eleven. However, when called upon, particularly during the absence of Dusan Vlahovic, the forward stepped up and delivered important performances. His ability to adapt to Tudor’s system and contribute under pressure did not go unnoticed. ............ . While there may be some scepticism among supporters regarding the decision to retain him, there is a compelling case for Juventus to give Kolo Muani another year to prove his worth. If included in the club’s pre-season plans, the forward could show further development and consistency, which would benefit the team as they prepare for both domestic and European campaigns. ............ .

Purtroppo il Chelsea se lo riprenderá.

Juventus attacking shortlist revealed: Gyokeres, Retegui and three alternatives A report in the Italian media identified the profiles that Juventus are tracking in their quest to enhance their attack ahead of next season. ............ The Serie A giants could succeed in finding an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain to keep Randal Kolo Muani, but a new addition would still be needed. The club’s directors Damien Comolli and Giorgio Chiellini have identified Mateo Retegui and Viktor Gyokeres as the main targets. The Italo-Argentinian was the top goalscorer in Serie A last season with 25 goals, so Atalanta surely won’t sell him on the cheap. Meanwhile, Gyokeres could be even more expensive, especially amidst competition from Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United who are all interested in the bomber who netted 54 goals this season. ............ Juventus keeping tabs on several attacking solutions The first is Jonathan David who will be a free agent by the end of the month after seeing out his contract with LOSC Lille. The same source also mentions Gyokeres’ younger teammate, Conrad Harder. ............ Finally, 32-year-old Niclas Fullkrug arguably represents the least exciting option for the fanbase. ............ .

“I’m very happy” – Kolo Muani confirms agreement between Juventus & PSG Randal Kolo Muani reveals that Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain have struck an agreement that would allow him to play for the Italian giants in the FIFA Club World Cup. ............ Kolo Muani returned to scoring in the final weeks of the campaign, and was decisive in the club’s bid to secure Champions League football. With the striker’s loan stint expiring at the end of the month, Juventus have been tirelessly working on finding a new agreement with PSG that would allow them to keep the player for the Club World Cup, and possibly beyond. As reported in previous days, Juve’s plan was to reach an initial accord that extends the loan until the end of the summer tournament, and afterwards, resume their talks with the European champions in the hopes of finding a long-term agreement. ............ “I’m very happy at Juventus. I hope I can continue here,” said the striker in his interview with L’Equipe. “They welcomed me well and I’m enjoying myself. I’ll go to the Club World Cup with Juve.” Kolo Muani sealed a €90 million transfer from Eintracht Frankfurt to PSG in the summer of 2023, so the Parisians cannot afford to sell him for anything less than €50 million if they want to avoid registering a capital loss. Hence, a new loan with an obligation to buy could be the best solution for all parties. . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/im-very-happy-kolo-muani-confirms-agreement-between-juventus-psg/

Juventus make U-turn on Andrea Cambiaso amidst Man City links Juventus have reportedly had a change of heart regarding the future of Manchester City transfer target, Andrea Cambiaso. ............ In January, the Italian was heavily linked with a move to the Etihad, as Pep Guardiola pinpointed him as the right profile to replace Kyle Walker who joined Milan. In the end, the parties couldn’t reach a definitive agreement, while some sources tipped Man City to return with a fresh onslaught in the summer. ............ The new Juventus management has adopted a different approach, especially following recent talks between the club’s new General Director, Damien Comolli, and Igor Tudor. ............ Tudor not only appreciates the 25-year-old’s technical attributes, but also his human traits. So while this isn’t a priority for the club at the moment, the Bianconeri will be looking to tighten their grip on the player’s future by tying him to a new contract. Cambiaso is already running on a relatively long-term deal, having signed a renewal until 2029 last year. He currently earns €2.4 million per season, so the report expects him to earn a slight pay rise. ............ .

Juventus will consider Luciano Spalletti after Italy sacking A report in the Italian media claims Luciano Spalletti could soon emerge as a potential candidate to take over Juventus next season. The 66-year-old has been in charge of the Italian national team since 2023. ............ Ahead of Monday’s contest against Moldova, the former Roma, Inter and Napoli coach announced his own sacking, revealing that this will be his last match in charge of the Azzurri after being relieved from his duties. ............ Therefore, some sources believe that this new development could have a knock-on effect on the managerial situation of several Italian clubs, and chief among them is Juventus, who have yet to confirm their manager for next season. The Turin-based giants are already reflecting on whether or not Spalletti represents a suitable profile to pursue. Juventus had appointed Igor Tudor in March after sacking Thiago Motta. The 46-year-old will remain in charge at least until the FIFA Club World Cup. ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/report-juventus-will-consider-luciano-spalletti-after-italy-sacking/

PSG planning to snatch young Juventus winger Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly plotting a move for Juventus star Francisco Conceicao whose future remains up in the air. ............ Former Juventus Football Director Cristiano Giuntoli had even claimed that Conceicao will 100% remain at the club. Nevertheless, with Giuntoli and Thiago Motta now gone, it remains to be seen whether the agreement still stands. ............ So with all the uncertainty engulfing the player’s future, PSG could pounce at the opportunity to sway the diminutive winger to the French capital. PSG director Luis Campos is still hoping to extend his Portuguese contingent, so he would love to add Conceicao to the likes of Vitinha, Nuno Mendes and Joao Neves. ............ . While many Juventus fans would like to see the winger donning the black-and-white stripes next season, it remains to be seen if the club’s hierarchy shares the same vision or will instead focus on other objectives. .

Not just Vlahovic – Allegri also seeking reunion with Juventus veteran at Milan Former Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri would reportedly like to have to Mattia Perin at his disposal once again following his move to Milan. ............ Since his return to Milan, Allegri has been linked with some of his old Juventus players. The list even includes the likes of Dusan Vlahovic and Federico Chiesa (now at Liverpool), even though his relationship with the pair wasn’t always ideal. On the other hand, Andrea Cambiaso was a less surprising target. ............ In recent hours, Perin became the latest Juventus player to land on Milan’s shortlist. ............ The Diavolo would need a new goalkeeper if they end up splitting ways with Mike Maignan. The source claims this would be a low-cost operation for Milan, suggesting that Juventus might be willing to release Perin either for free or for a marginal figure, despite having him under contract until June 2027. ............ .

Juventus make a decision on Bremer ahead of FIFA Club World Cup Juventus have reportedly decided to add Gleison Bremer to their FIFA Club World squad, although he has yet to fully recover. ............ Bremer has been tirelessly working on regaining his best physical shape after a long recovery process. ............ The source believes that the management have already decided to include him in the squad that will travel to the United States to participate in the Club World Cup. The first extended edition of the tournament will take place in the United States between June 14 and July 13. Juvetus have been pitted in the same group with Manchester City, Al Ain and Wydad AC. While Bremer is unlikely to take part in the action, his mere presence should serve as an important boost, hinting at a return to the pitch by the start of next season. ............ .

Juventus identify Nuno Tavares as primary target as Lotito sets asking price Juventus are reportedly determined to sign a new player on the left flank, as Lazio’s Nuno Tavares emerges as the priority target. Even though Andrea Cambiaso could stay, the Bianconeri could do with some reinforcement in the wingback department. ............ On Sunday, sources in the Italian media claimed that Juventus have set their sights on Sassuolo’s Josh Doig. But while the Scotsman represents a promising profile, the Old Lady has a bigger fish to fry. Tavares remains the first name on the shortlist for the Bianconeri hierarchy despite the recent managerial overhaul. The 25-year-old arrived in the Italian capital last summer, spending his campaign on loan at Lazio before sealing a permanent transfer from Arsenal. ............ The former Benfica star remains an intriguing profile for many, as even Al-Hilal have tried to acquire his services in recent hours. Nonetheless, Lazio rejected the €25 million offer, considering it too low. As the source explains, Lazio president Claudio Lotito won’t accept any offers below €30 million. Hence, it remains to be seen if Juventus would be willing to meet the Aquile’s valuation. .
