“Above all you have to win” Vieri warns Motta about working at Juventus Christian Vieri has sent a message to Thiago Motta regarding the Juventus job as he prepares to become the next manager of the Bianconeri. ............ At Juventus, a club with a long-standing tradition of winning trophies, meeting high expectations is not just a goal but a fundamental part of the club’s identity. This pressure now falls on Motta’s shoulders. The Bianconeri aim to return to their winning ways under Motta’s leadership, but Vieri has cautioned him that the expectations and pressures he faced at Bologna are nowhere near what he will encounter at Juventus. ............ “If Bologna loses 5-6 games in a row, nobody says anything. At Juve you have to play well, but above all you have to win. Inter, Milan and Juve have wonderful, but complicated places. It won’t be easy for Thiago Motta. Juve is a great step.” ............

Journalist backs Spalletti’s ‘intuition’ to take Fagioli to Euro 2024 Luciano Spalletti’s decision to include Nicolo Fagioli in his squad for Euro 2024 continues to be a major topic of discussion in Italy. Despite being banned for seven months and playing only two matches for Juventus in 2024, Fagioli has earned a spot in Italy’s squad for their title defence in Germany. ............ Technically, Fagioli stands out among most of Italy’s midfielders, which likely influenced Spalletti’s decision to add him to the squad. It wouldn’t be surprising if Fagioli starts all of Italy’s games in the competition. Journalist Raimondo De Magistris describes Spalletti’s decision as intuitive and sensible, considering Fagioli’s skillset. ............ “Ricci was sacrificed at the altar of Nicolò Fagioli, Luciano Spalletti’s great bet. The call-up of the Juventus midfielder comes from an intuition coming from a technical commissioner who in recent years he discovered and valorized directors like few others (Pizarro, Brozovic and Lobotka, just to name the most famous).” ............

Impallomeni rates Chiesa’s chance of staying at Juventus There is a strong possibility that Federico Chiesa will depart Juventus at the conclusion of Euro 2024, and pundit Stefano Impallomeni has assessed his likelihood of staying. Impallomeni has observed Juventus’ struggles in securing a new contract for their talented winger. ............ With just a year remaining on his contract, Juventus is making efforts to persuade him to extend his tenure with the club, and the Bianconeri are eager for a resolution to be reached soon. However, Stefano Impallomeni believes his chance of staying is very slim. He said: “The belief that at 30% he renews and remains. The discussion is not technical but contractual with him. For me it is a contractual discussion, it fits, we will have to see what Chiesa thinks. I would see it well with Motta but for me the issue is economic.” ............

Milik suffered an injury in Poland’s match and will miss Euro 2024 Arkadiusz Milik has suffered an injury and is now set to miss Euro 2024 for Poland. The Juventus striker, a key player for his country, was preparing to help Poland make an impact in Germany. However, during their warm-up game against Ukraine, he took a heavy blow that resulted in an injury. He could not continue and was helped off the pitch by his country’s medical personnel. ........... Poland has now lost one of its key players, which weakens the team, though they still have other top players in that role, including Robert Lewandowski. Milik also faces an uncertain future at Juventus. With a new manager set to take over at the club, he would not want to start the pre-season with an injury. ............

Pavan insists Koopmeiners is not worth 60 million euros amidst Juventus interest Massimo Pavan has discussed Juventus’ interest in Atalanta midfielder Teun Koopmeiners, highlighting the challenges the Bianconeri face in signing him. ........... La Dea wants to maximise their profit before letting him go and has set a price of 60 million euros. Juventus is willing to pay 40 million euros, but Atalanta believes this offer is insufficient. They are open to his departure, but only for the right price, a valuation with which Pavan disagrees. ............ “Juventus has a limited budget, they won’t give away resources but they can make a good transfer, Koopmeiners is strong but it’s not worth 60 million, it’s worth 40, then we can discuss the technical compensation.” ............

Official: Juventus reunite Giuntoli with ex-Napoli director Pompilio Juventus have officially hired Giuseppe Pompilio to act as right hand man to director Cristiano Giuntoli, reuniting the rapport they had at Napoli. No formal title has been given to Pompilio yet, as the statement from the Turin club merely noted he will ‘work closely’ with Giuntoli. They are already very familiar with each other, as they worked together for many years at Napoli and even Carpi before Giuntoli decided to walk away last summer for the new experience at Juve. Pompilio had wanted to join Giuntoli in June 2023, but was blocked from leaving Napoli by President Aurelio De Laurentiis until his contract expired. ............ Another figure expected to join Juve is Stefano Stefanelli, currently director of sport at Pisa, who also worked with Giuntoli and Pompilio at Carpi and Napoli until 2021.

Federico Chiesa remains Conte’s first choice winger target Antonio Conte is enamoured with Federico Chiesa, which could lead to the attacker moving to Napoli this summer. Conte has just been named the manager of Napoli and aims to guide them to a league title, as he has previously done with Juventus and Inter Milan. ............ Chiesa has been identified as one of his targets, as the winger faces an uncertain future at the Allianz Stadium. Juventus wants Chiesa to stay and play under their next manager, but with his contract expiring next summer, this may be their last chance to sell him for a substantial fee. ............ It remains unclear if Juventus will decide to sell him this summer, but if Chiesa does not sign an extension, the club might be compelled to consider his departure. ............

Juventus Superstar Looking Forward to New Era in Turin A new era at Juventus is about to get underway as Thiago Motta prepares to take over from the sacked Massimiliano Allegri. Star frontman Dusan Vlahovic is enthusiastic about the new chapter in Turin, insisting the Bianconeri must return into the Scudetto frame after a four-year barren run. “Juventus are one of the biggest clubs in the world, the biggest in Italy, and accustomed to winning trophies every year,” Vlahovic was adamant: “We were in the running for the Scudetto until February, but in the end, Inter won deservedly, and there are no doubts about that. “This next season could be a launching pad for us. We’ve seen that we can do it, so Juventus must get back to winning the Scudetto, or at least having the ambition to do so.“ ............ Among those who could benefit from Motta’s vision, Vlahovic occupies a special place. Not even Allegri’s destructive way of playing prevented the Serbia international from tallying 18 goals in 38 competitive appearances last term. The figures could only go up under Motta. There’s a feeling the ex-Inter midfielder could help Vlahovic become the best version of himself and, in turn, make Juventus a more attractive team to watch. The club is already taking the necessary steps to back their new manager. ............ Read more -> https://cultofcalcio.com/juventus-superstar-looking-forward-to-new-era-in-turin/

Nicoló Fagioli is included in defending champions Italy's final squad for Euro 2024 Nicoló Fagioli has been named in Italy's final squad for Euro 2024 despite only recently returning from a seven-month ban for gambling violations. The Juventus midfielder was included in Italy's provisional squad shortly after he made his return to action. ............. Italy boss Luciano Spalletti has cut three players from his squad - Bologna winger Riccardo Orsolini, Torino midfielder Samuele Ricci and Lazio goalkeeper Ivan Provedel. ............. The Azzurri have won the tournament twice in total, with their other previous success coming in 1968. Italy are in Group B at the tournament and will take on Albania, Spain and Croatia.

Thiago Motta has already decided who will be Juventus number one Juventus will have a new number one in goal next season after Thiago Motta made his choice before being confirmed as the club’s manager. ........... Juve is already working on several profiles and has an agreement in place to sign Michele Di Gregorio from Monza. Although Wojciech Szczęsny remains a good goalkeeper, the incoming Bianconeri coach prefers Di Gregorio because of his technical skills. These skills suit his style of play, and Juve could now offload Mattia Perin and their current first-choice keeper. ............

Juventus counting on Bundesliga money to land Koopmeiners Juventus are reportedly looking to sell two of their youngsters to Bundesliga clubs in order to raise funds for Atalanta star Teun Koopmeiners. The Bianconeri are being linked with a host of midfielders, but the Dutchman remains their primary target. The Old Lady has already struck an agreement with the player’s entourage over a five-year contract that would see him earn 4.5 million euros. ........... The Italian giants are willing to sell Matias Soulé and Dean Huijsen, as both players have suitors on German soil. ............ Bayer Leverkusen have emerged as a contender for the 21-year-old’s services. The Bundesliga champions would provide the player with the opportunity to sharpen his skills under the guidance of Xabi Alonso and play Champions League football. Moreover, Huijsen could also depart towards Germany, with Borussia Dortmund reportedly keen on his services. Both players have a transfer value of around 30 million euros. ............

ROMA SCHEDULE MEETING WITH FEDERICO CHIESA’S AGENT Serie A giants Roma have now scheduled a meeting with the agent of Juventus star Federico Chiesa, who has been linked with a move to the Giallorossi in recent weeks. Napoli have also been touted as a potential destination for Chiesa, who could be on his way out of Turin this summer as his current deal at Juve runs out in the summer of 2025. Gianluca di Marzio has confirmed that Chiesa is seen as a sellable entity by Juve and Roma’s interest in the Italian is quite strong right now. His agent – Fali Ramadani, will be in the Italian capital next week and a meeting will be held with the Giallorossi about a potential move. ............

Romano reveals when Juventus will announce Thiago Motta as new manager Juventus and Thiago Motta have had an agreement in principle for quite some time now, but the signatures have yet to arrive. ............ So while the writing has been on the wall for months, when will the official announcement be made? In his morning column, Italian football journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed that Juventus will announce the arrival of Motta next week. The transfer market guru insists that the two parties have a full agreement and that it is all going according to plan. Romano believes the Bianconeri never intended to make the announcement this week anyway. ............ Moreover, the journalist reveals that Motta has already been involved in the club’s transfer market plans. For instance, the former Genoa and Spezia coach is an avid admirer of Monza goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio who should complete a move to Juventus in the coming days. Motta is also in favor of signing Atalanta’s Teun Koopmeiners, but this one remains a comprehensively more complex operation due to La Dea’s hefty asking price.

Aston Villa begin talks to complete Douglas Luiz swap deal As the summer transfer window opens, Aston Villa face the challenge of balancing their squad while complying with financial constraints. To facilitate new signings, the club must consider offloading some players. Among the potential moves is a high-profile swap deal involving Douglas Luiz and Weston McKennie of Juventus, which has sparked considerable interest in the football community. Unai Emery, Aston Villa’s esteemed manager, has often lavished praise on Douglas Luiz, highlighting the Brazilian’s crucial role in propelling the Villans to a coveted Champions League spot. ........... Reputable reports, including insights from the renowned Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, indicate that negotiations between Aston Villa and Juventus are underway for a sensational midfield swap. Douglas Luiz, contracted with Villa until June 2026, holds a significant market value estimated at £51.1 million. In contrast, McKennie is valued at around £25.5 million, necessitating Juventus to provide additional financial compensation to balance the deal. ............

Wojciech Szczesny has an offer from Saudi Arabia, but wants to stay at Juventus The way Juventus’ goalkeeper situation appears from the outside looking in at the beginning of June, there’s only two seats available for three very talented players. Juventus are expected to announce the signing of Monza’s Michele Di Gregorio, the top keeper in Serie A this past season, rather soon, with the top two names on the depth chart in Turin very much looking like they’re heading into major decision-making times about their respective careers. That’s especially true for the man with No. 1 on the back of his jersey and started all but three of Juventus’ Serie A fixture during the 2023-24 campaign. According to Tuttosport on Tuesday, Wojciech Szczesny has received a very lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia recently, with a reported annual salary in the neighborhood of €15 million. The thing is, that is reportedly not really something Szczesny wants to accept. That’s because it’s reported that Szczesny isn’t exactly interested in moving to the Saudi Pro League this summer, instead preferring to stay at Juventus — where his contract runs until 2025 — or, if he were to leave, play in Europe. Szczesny is currently one of Juventus’ highest earners at €6.5 million net a season. You’ll notice I have yet to mention the third goalkeeper in this potential merry-go-round, and that is Mattia Perin. When the Di Gregorio rumors first started, it was somewhat expected that Perin would be the one who’s leaving this summer because he would want to seek regular playing time as his mid-30s approach. Now, with Szczesny’s future very much up in the air, Perin’s status might be more dependent on what Szczesny ends up doing more than anything else. ............... While Szczesny had yet another very strong season in goal with Juventus yet again in the recently completed campaign, that might not be enough for him to prevent Di Gregorio from becoming Motta’s top choice for the starting keeper role next season. ...............

Montella impressed by Juventus talent Yildiz: ‘It’s not easy’ Turkey coach Vincenzo Montella is impressed by Juventus talent Kenan Yildiz, especially because of his physical development and ‘balanced’ mentality. Yildiz played 90 minutes for Turkey in a friendly against Italy at the Stadio Dall’Ara in Bologna on Tuesday night. ............. “He is a complete and modern footballer. Physically, I’ve noticed an improvement compared to September, when I gave him his debut,” Montella said at a press conference last night. “He wasn’t playing consistently at Juventus at that time. Now, he is even stronger physically, and he has room for improvement because he’s 18. “He has a bright future ahead because he has an adequate mentality and hasn’t lost balance. It’s not easy at his age to deal with this sudden popularity.” Yildiz has recently turned 19 and finished the 2023-24 campaign with Juventus with four goals and one assist in 32 appearances across all competitions. .............

Jorginho offers praise & advice to Fagioli: “He reads the match well” Arsenal midfielder Jorginho had words of praise for his Italy teammate Nicolo Fagioli following last night’s friendly against Turkiye. ............. “Fagioli reads the game well, but maybe he has to work a little on his impact. But it will come with time,” said the Arsenal midfielder in his post-match interview Rai. “He has technical quality and he reads the plays well. “I told him to maintain the intensity which is important for our team. And also to add some pace, which was decreasing, to remain more compact.” Fagioli will be hoping to make the final cut when Spalletti names his 26-man squad that will head to Germany. .............

Aston Villa want to sign Weston McKennie in €12-15 million deal Aston Villa are only willing to pay around €12-15 million for Weston McKennie. The Juventus midfielder is destined for a departure with a year left on his deal. But the price Monchi is willing to pay is nearly half of what the Bianconeri value the American at. Aston Villa are eager to strengthen their squad ahead of one of the most important seasons in the club’s modern history. They are in the UEFA Champions League, and Unai Emery wants a squad strong enough to sustain the challenges of domestic football and Europe. ........... He has been a good performer for the Serie A club this season under Massimiliano Allegri. However, the chances of a renewal are remote, and a move to England would make a lot of sense for him. Some teams are interested in signing the midfielder, and Juventus are eager to sell him for at least €20-25 million. However, Monchi is using his old tactics from his Sevilla days and is only willing to offer €12-15 million for the 25-year-old midfielder. That price is almost half of what Juventus desire to sell the American, meaning the two clubs could now sit and discuss a bid to come towards a middle ground. As things stand, Juventus are eager to offload some of their key performers to raise funds in the market for new signings. They had envisaged €65 million for McKennie and Matias Soule together, with Aston Villa thought to hold an interest in the pair. More interestingly, Juventus are also keen on Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz, although the chances of that happening are remote at this stage. ...........

Genoa rekindle interest in Juventus midfielder – Why the deal could go through this time Genoa have reportedly revived their interest in Juventus youngster Fabio Miretti, and they could have a better chance at sealing the deal this time around. The Grifone tried to lure the player to the Luigi Ferraris last summer but to no avail. The 21-year-old remained at Continassa and had an important role to play in Max Allegri’s rotation, especially following the lengthy suspensions of Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli. But the conditions could be more favorable for an agreement between the two clubs this time. With Fagioli returning from his ban and new midfielders expected to land in Turin, Miretti’s playing time could be significantly reduced next term. Moreover, Thiago Motta might not be too keen to rely on his services. .............. Juventus would be happy to send Miretti to Genoa on loan where he would gain valuable playing time and hopefully return as an improved player. However, the Grifone could also seek to insert an option to buy the player at the end of the season. ..............

Danilo & his agent seek clarification over Di Lorenzo rumors – Imminent meeting with Giuntoli Juventus captain Danilo is looking to understand where he fits in the club’s future plans amidst growing links with Giovanni Di Lorenzo. The Brazilian has cemented himself as a stalwart at the back and the squad’s ultimate leader on the pitch and in the dressing room. The 33-year-old still has a contract for another year and would like to pledge himself to the club for years to come. .............. The Napoli captain is determined to leave the club in the summer, and Juventus Football Director Cristiano Giuntoli is reportedly keen to reunite with his old pupil in Turin. With Thiago Motta set to take over, the Bianconeri will switch to a four-man defense, so Danilo is expecting a return to his original right-back role, which is also the same position that Di Lorenzo occupies. .............. Therefore, the defender’s agent has scheduled a meeting with Giuntoli next week to clear the air. The two parties could thus decide whether to prolong their collaborations or head in separate paths. ..............

Juventus willing to offer Chiesa to Napoli in swap deal Juventus are reportedly considering exchanging Federico Chiesa with Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo. As we reported earlier, the Bianconeri have put the winger on the transfer list after failing to make progress in renewal talks with his agent. Hence, the management will attempt to cash in on the 26-year-old before his deal expires next summer. Moreover, incoming Juventus manager Thiago Motta is said to favor a different style of wingers. On the other hand, the club’s Football Director Cristiano Giuntoli is looking to reunite with his old Napoli pupil Di Lorenzo. The right-back is keen to leave the Maradona Stadium after seeing his rapport with the fanbase and the club president Aurelio De Laurentiis break apart. ............ Giuntoli could tempt the Southerners by playing the Chiesa card. The Italian winger is reportedly on top of Conte’s wishlist. Thus, an exchange deal could be brewing between the two clubs. ............ Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/report-juventus-willing-to-offer-chiesa-to-napoli-in-swap-deal/
