Juventus probable lineup vs Parma: Gatti pushing for a spot Following the midweek rotation, Juventus boss Luciano Spalletti is expected to unleash his strongest available lineup against Parma on Sunday. The Serie A contest will take place at the Ennio Tardini Stadium. It kicks off at 20:45 CET. ............ With Juventus already qualified for the play-off stage, Spalletti took the opportunity to rest some of his regular starters, mainly Kenan Yildiz, Manuel Locatelli, Andrea Cambiaso, Jonathan David and Michele Di Gregorio. ............ Di Gregorio will return to goal, playing behind a backline consisting of the omnipresent Pierre Kalulu, Gleison Bremer, Lloyd Kelly, and Cambiaso. In the middle of the park, Teun Koopmeiners will be dropped in favour of Locatelli. The Juventus captain will resume his partnership with Thuram. ............ Weston McKennie will operate as an attacking midfielder in the 4-2-3-1 formation, but he could also occupy other roles during the course of the match, at least if Spalletti decides to alter his system. Yildiz will be unleashed on the left wing, while Francisco Conceicao will maintain his role on the opposite flank. Finally, the in-form Jonathan David will reclaim his starting berth at the expense of Lois Openda, who failed to make the most out of his midweek opportunity. ............ There is a 45% chance for Federico Gatti to replace Bremer at the heart of the backline. ............ Juventus Probable XI (4-2-3-1): Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Bremer (Gatti), Kelly, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Thuram; Conceicao, McKennie, Yildiz; David . .Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/juventus-probable-lineup-vs-parma-gatti-pushing-for-a-spot/

Manchester City Academy striker set for Juventus transfer Fabrizio Romano reports that Manchester City Academy striker Justin Oboavwoduo, 19, is set to join Juventus, initially playing for their NextGen squad. ............ Oboavwoduo has scored six goals and provided five assists in 18 appearances across all competitions this season, including five goals in six Premier League 2 games. ............ The 19-year-old made his England U20 debut this past September. According to Romano, Oboavwoduo will initially join Juventus’ NextGen squad playing in Italy’s third division, Serie C. Oboavwoduo is the second deal completed by Juventus for their second team in recent days, after Adin Ličina from Bayern Munich. ............ Ex-Sassuolo and Atalanta winger Jeremie Boga, in fact, landed in Turin on Sunday to undergo medical tests with the Serie A giants. .

Juventus reach agreement with PSG for Kolo Muani but Spurs boss blocking the move Juventus have make significant progress in their attempts to sign Randal Kolo Muani, but they still have one major hurdle to overcome. ............ Over the past few days, Juventus have identified Kolo Muani as their main target after giving up on Jean-Philippe Mateta and Youssef En-Nesyri. The French striker is all in favour of a return to Continassa. After all, he had enjoyed a positive six-month loan spell in Turin last season, unlike his current experience at Tottenham Hotspur, characterised by the lack of goals and inconsistent displays. ............ Juventus have received the green light from Kolo Muani’s parent club, Paris Saint-Germain. The two clubs failed to reach an agreement last summer, which prompted the Bianconeri to sign Lois Openda instead, while Kolo Muani headed to Spurs. Nevertheless, the reigning European champions had no objections to the 27-year-old’s return to Turin. ............ Tottenham manager Thomas Frank showed no signs of leaning his stance in his latest press conference. “Yes, next question,” said the Danish head coach when asked if he intends to keep Kolo Muani in North London. “I hope this goal and his performance in the Champions League (against Eintracht Frankfurt) can give him the confidence to build on because I think I’ve always liked his qualities and abilities.” ............ .

“Here we go” – Romano confirms Juventus secured a deal for Jeremy Boga Juventus have reached an agreement with OGC Nice to bring Ivorian winger Jeremie Boga back to Serie A. The Bianconeri have been searching the market for a player capable of acting as a backup for Kenan Yildiz, who doesn’t have a natural replacement in the squad. They tried to acquire the services of Federico Chiesa, but couldn’t find an accord with Liverpool, while Daniel Maldini ended up joining Lazio. ............ Juventus have reached a verbal agreement with both Nice and Boga overnight. The 29-year-old is expected in Italy in the coming hours to undergo his medical before signing for the Serie A giants. ............ The winger will sign for the Bianconeri on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season. ............ The Ivory Coast international became a major hit at the Mapei Stadium under the guidance of Roberto De Zerbi, forming a deadly attacking trident alongside Domenico Berardi and Ciccio Caputo. He was also a teammate of Juventus captain Manuel Locatelli, who also played his football at the Emilian club during that period. Atalanta then spent €22 million to sign Boga in January 2022, but between physical issues and underwhelming displays, he didn’t enjoy his time in Bergamo. ............ .

Round 23: Parma vs. Juventus match preview A lot has happened since Juventus and Parma faced one another during the first weekend of the 2025-26 season. At the time, it look like there would be a lot more good than bad based on how Juve’s Aug. 24 win over the Gialloblu and the next few fixtures went. It, of course, didn’t last, and a couple of months later resulted in Luciano Spalletti stepping in to try and right the ship after Igor Tudor wasn’t able to. For the most part, that has been the case. Juventus are all of one point off the top four in Serie A. They just rebounded from their rough start to Champions League play to finish in a very respectable 13th place in the league phase table. We now know who the Bianconeri will be facing in the play-off round next month, with Friday’s draw producing a two-legged tie against Turkish giants Galatasaray, with the winner to meet either defending Premier League champions Liverpool or reigning Europa League winners Tottenham in the UCL Round of 16. So while we know what the schedule will look like a couple of weeks down the road — which will also include the second Derby d’Italia of the season against league leaders Inter Milan, this time at the San Siro — the immediate future is the return fixture against that same Parma side that Juve opened the campaign against. The first day of February means a Sunday night visit to the Tardini for Spalletti’s squad, who will look to keep the pressure on both Roma and Napoli. ............ But if Juventus think they can just stroll by a Parma side that is currently 15th in the Serie A table and has just one win in their last six and is coming off a 4-0 thumping at the hands of Atalanta in Bergamo, they’ve got another thing coming to them. Parma’s just six points above the relegation zone, which still happens to have Fiorentina sitting in 18th place on 17 points. Any further struggles and Parma are likely seeing some legit relegation fight worries coming to the front of their minds, if they aren’t already. We don’t have to go back all that long to see what can happen if Juventus don’t take care of business in the land where some of the best prosciutto in the world is curated. The last trip to Parma did not go well, and at least we know Juve have a little bit more time to potentially recover if they are to slip up once again. And as much as this is a trip to the home stadium of a club that has just two wins in 11 home fixtures so far this season, here’s a reminder of what Juventus’ schedule looks like once they return home from facing Parma: Away against Atalanta (Coppa Italia) Home against Lazio Away against Inter Away against Galatasaray (Champions League) Home against Como Home against Galatasaray (Champions League) Away against Roma Those are Juventus’ seven games up until the first weekend of March. That is a huge stretch, and one that will tell us a lot about the Bianconeri as well as many of the clubs that they will face since they are also contending for a spot in the top four, if not more than that. It’s also a stretch in which Spalletti recognizes that his squad will be tested physically at a time in which they are already feeling the effects of a very busy January that also featured seven fixtures. ”There will be a lot of games in the coming weeks, so we need to find alternative solutions,” Spalletti said during Saturday’s pre-match press conference. “The number of matches is increasing, and as far as I’m concerned, we need to increase the amount of rest. It seems to me that the players are responding well to these changes. When you play so much, you have to find a balance between playing a lot, resting a lot and training a lot.” But at the same time … “I have complete faith in my players,” Spalletti continued, “and they are top-class professionals.” ............ The schedule is not slowing down — especially now that we know that Juve will be in the Champions League play-off round in a couple of weeks, which will add 180 minutes (at least) onto their best players’ legs. So could we see some squad rotation against Parma just like we saw a few days earlier in Monaco? Yeah, that seems like it’s a good idea knowing that the same kind of Coppa Italia rotation on Thursday probably isn’t as possible knowing that Juve’s opponent is one of the strongest clubs remaining. But Spalletti also can’t afford to run his best players like Kenan Yildiz or Gleison Bremer into the ground over these next few weeks no matter how important every single game may be just because they already have a lot of minutes in their legs. It’s just that point of the season, folks. Unless it’s Pierre Kalulu, I guess, because that man just continues to play 90 minutes every single game and is continuing to basically crush it every single time. If only everybody could be like that, right? TEAM NEWS Spalletti had no new injuries coming out of Wednesday night’s scoreless draw against Monaco to wrap up the Champions League league phase. ............ As much as Spalletti said that his squad is feeling the impact of so many games in a short period of time in January, he wanted to make sure those in the Italian press knew one thing: “I’m not tired,” he said. Manuel Locatelli, as has been the case for more than just a couple of weeks now, is one yellow card away from suspension. With so many big games ahead on the schedule and with how he’s played so far under Spalletti, this feels just as important as it was in the build-up to Juve facing Napoli. JUVENTUS PLAYER TO WATCH While Spalletti is expected to field a pretty full strength starting lineup against Parma on Sunday night, there is a chance of seeing a couple of names in there that we haven’t talked much about over these past few weeks. ............ There is basically one runoff battle going on for Juventus: Gleison Bremer or Federico Gatti. As we know, Bremer has played a whole heck of a lot over the past six weeks since he came back from his knee injury last month, while Gatti has just come back into the fold after also suffering a meniscus injury before the full reach of the chilly winter months arrived. If Spalletti thinks that his squad is tired — and he has mentioned that Bremer’s felt some fatigue of late and that it’s something to monitor over the coming weeks — then getting somebody like Gatti who hasn’t played much (primarily due to injury) some valuable minutes ahead of crucial stretch of the season where the entire roster is going to be needed in some form or another. ............ Plus, there’s also this simple fact: Parma are one of the lowest scoring teams in Serie A so far this season. Through their first 22 league fixtures, they’ve scored all of 14 goals. In their six league fixtures in January, Parma scored all of two goals. They are struggling to score goals — and it’s been that way for months now. That may be reading into the stats too much, but it also feels like a logical chance to ease Gatti back into playing more minutes while not facing an opponent that is just going to be a huge threat every time they push forward. ............ MATCH INFO When: Sunday, Feb. 1, 2026. Where: Stadio Ennio Tardini, Parma, Italy. Official kickoff time: 8:45 p.m. local time in Italy and across Europe, 7:45 p.m. in the United Kingdom, 2:45 p.m. Eastern time, 1:45 p.m. Central time, 11:45 a.m. Pacific time. ............ .

Parma vs Juventus: Preview and Prediction Juventus arrive in Emilia-Romagna on Sunday night carrying the momentum of one of their most emphatic performances of the season, as Parma attempt to halt a slide that has left them uncomfortably close to the Serie A danger zone. The Bianconeri sent a clear message last weekend by dismantling reigning champions Napoli 3-0 in Turin, a result that underlined the growing authority of Luciano Spalletti’s side. That victory came just days before Juventus wrapped up their UEFA Champions League league-phase campaign with a goalless draw away to AS Monaco, a result that denied them automatic qualification to the last 16, but still ensured progression into the knockout play-offs, where Galatasaray now await. Europe will return soon enough, but Juventus’s immediate focus remains domestic. A demanding run lies ahead, with a Coppa Italia quarter-final and league clashes against Lazio and Inter Milan still to come. Before that sequence begins, this trip to Parma represents an opportunity to consolidate their revival and maintain pressure on the teams above them. The win over Napoli was another step forward in what has been a quietly impressive turnaround. Since Spalletti’s arrival in Turin, Juventus have become one of Serie A’s most balanced sides. No team has conceded fewer goals in the league during that period, just eight across 13 matches, while only two sides have scored more. ............ Team News & Tactics Parma Calcio 1913 ............ Probable Lineup (3-5-2): Corvi; Delprato, Circati, Troilo; Britschgi, Bernabe, Keita, Sorensen, Valenti; Ondrejka, Pellegrino Juventus Juventus travel to Parma with relatively few fitness concerns, a welcome position as their schedule intensifies across multiple competitions. Daniele Rugani remains unavailable, while Dusan Vlahovic is still sidelined through injury. Long-term absentee Arkadiusz Milik continues his rehabilitation and will not feature. Beyond those three, Luciano Spalletti has a largely settled squad to choose from, and there are no suspension issues affecting the Bianconeri for this fixture. Spalletti rotated heavily in midweek, handing rare starts to Mattia Perin, Juan Cabal, and Lois Openda, but several established starters are expected to return at Stadio Tardini. Club captain Manuel Locatelli, creative fulcrum Kenan Yildiz, and versatile full-back Andrea Cambiaso are all in line to reclaim their places in the starting XI. Yildiz, in particular, arrives in excellent form; his goal against Napoli took him to eight Serie A strikes this season, already surpassing his total from the previous campaign. He also ranks among the league’s elite for attacking involvement, sitting second for both touches in the opposition box and successful take-ons. Further forward, Jonathan David remains a key figure in Juventus’s attack. The forward, who scored in the reverse fixture against Parma, has found renewed confidence away from home, registering three goal involvements across his last three Serie A away matches after failing to contribute in his first eight on the road this season. Tactically, Juventus are expected to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, offering balance between defensive security and attacking fluidity. Michele Di Gregorio is set to start in goal, protected by a back four of Pierre Kalulu at right-back, Gleison Bremer as the central defensive leader alongside Lloyd Kelly, and Andrea Cambiaso operating from left-back. In midfield, Manuel Locatelli is likely to anchor the double pivot, partnered by Khephren Thuram, whose athleticism and ball-carrying ability add dynamism through the centre. The attacking midfield line should feature Francisco Conceicao on the right, Weston McKennie in a central supporting role, and Kenan Yildiz drifting in from the left, giving Juventus creativity, pressing intensity, and goal threat behind the striker. Finally, leading the line, Jonathan David is expected to operate as the lone centre-forward, tasked with stretching Parma’s back three and converting the chances created by Juventus’ fluid attacking unit. Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Thuram; Conceicao, McKennie, Yildiz; David Key Stats Juventus have conceded just eight goals in Serie A since Luciano Spalletti took charge, the best defensive record in the league over that period. Parma are the second-lowest scorers in Serie A, with only 14 goals this season. Mateo Pellegrino has scored 43% of Parma’s league goals. Juventus have won 11 of their last 17 Serie A meetings with Parma, including a 2–0 victory in Turin earlier this season. Parma have recorded just two wins from 11 home league matches. Player to Watch Kenan Yildiz Yildiz continues to be one of the driving forces behind Juventus’s resurgence, and Sunday’s trip to Parma offers another opportunity for the young attacker to showcase his growing influence. Operating primarily from the left side of the attacking midfield line, the Turkish star blends flair with intelligence, regularly drifting into central pockets to overload defences and create shooting lanes. What makes Yildiz particularly dangerous is his consistency in involvement. He is not a peripheral creator but a constant presence in the opposition box, as reflected by his high volume of touches in dangerous areas and his willingness to take defenders on. His eight Serie A goals already surpass last season’s total, underlining a marked improvement in end product alongside his technical development. ............ Prediction Parma 0-2 Juventus Juventus arrive in Emilia-Romagna in strong form and with growing confidence, particularly after their emphatic victory over Napoli. Their defensive structure under Luciano Spalletti has been one of the most reliable in Serie A, and that solidity should serve them well against a Parma side that has struggled to create chances consistently. Parma’s reliance on Mateo Pellegrino for goals leaves little margin for error, especially against a Juventus defence that concedes few clear openings. While the hosts may show discipline and fight in front of their own supporters, Juventus’s superior quality in midfield and attacking areas is likely to tell as the game wears on. If the Bianconeri maintain their intensity and patience in possession, they should find the breakthrough without being overly exposed at the other end. The Hard Tackle predicts a 2-0 win for Luciano Spalletti and his charges. . Read more -> https://thehardtackle.com/round-up/2026/01/31/parma-vs-juventus-preview-and-prediction-2/

Juventus optimistic about Kolo Muani, but he’s not the striker Spalletti wants Juventus are still positive about their chances of signing Tottenham Hotspur’s striker Randal Kolo Muani before the end of the winter transfer window. The Bianconeri are determined to add one more centre-forward to their ranks, one who can complement Jonatan David and Lois Openda, and fill in for the injured Dusan Vlahovic, who’s expected to leave the club at the end of the season. ............ On Wednesday, the French striker scored the opener for Spurs in his outing against his former club, Eintracht Frankfurt. Nevertheless, his stint in North London has been largely disappointing thus far. And yet, Tottenham have been refusing to cut his loan stint from Paris Saint-Germain short, turning down the Old Lady’s offer. The Serie A giants already have the player’s green light, and they’re positive about reaching a swift accord with PSG over a new loan, but the only issue remains Spurs’ consent. ............ The head coach made it clear that the club is lacking a centre-forward capable of acting like a battering ram and holding up the ball, offering Napoli’s Rasmus Hojlund as an example. On the other hand, the Frenchman is a mobile attacker, who likes to take part in the build-up and work in the space. Nevertheless, the 66-year-old would at least be pleased to welcome a new striker to his ranks, one capable of adding goals to the team. ............ .

Ecco perché il Bologna vuole liberarsene. E addirittura é disposto a prendersi il desaparecido Joao Mario.

Preview: Parma vs Juventus - prediction, team news, lineups After their statement win over the Serie A champions last weekend, in-form Juventus will pay a visit to Parma on Sunday evening. Having beaten Napoli by three goals, Juve then missed out on direct entry to the Champions League's last 16, but they are still one of three Italian teams left standing. Match preview Before settling for a tame goalless draw in Monaco on the final matchday, Juventus needed a minor miracle if they were to secure a top-eight finish in the Champions League table. ............ Even ahead of Wednesday's Europe-wide finale, Juve had already wrapped up a playoff place, and the draw has since pitted them against Galatasaray. Before that two-legged tie takes place, Luciano Spalletti's side have four domestic fixtures to fulfil: a Coppa Italia quarter-final and league games against Lazio and Inter Milan will follow this week's trip to Emilia-Romagna. Last time out in Serie A, Juventus maintained their unbeaten home record by defeating the Scudetto holders, as Jonathan David's first-half goal set the stage for an emphatic 3-0 win over Spalletti's former club Napoli. That success left the Bianconeri just one point behind both Roma and Napoli - who hold the last two Champions League places - and continued their recent revival. Since Spalletti showed up in Turin, no team has conceded fewer goals in Serie A - just eight across 13 matches - and they also boast the league's third-best attack, with 23 scored during that period. Now five points up on their tally at this stage last term, Juve can continue in that vein by beating one of their favourite opponents: 11 wins and just two defeats from the last 17 top-flight meetings may suggest they can do another double over Parma. ............ Parma Serie A form: D L W D D L Juventus Serie A form: W D W W L W Juventus form (all competitions): W W L W W D Team News Only Daniele Rugani, Dusan Vlahovic and long-term absentee Arkadiusz Milik are sidelined for Juventus, who made a number of changes to their lineup in midweek. After rare starts for Mattia Perin, Juan Cabal and Lois Openda, regulars such as club captain Manuel Locatelli, chief creator Kenan Yildiz and Andrea Cambiaso should all return. Thanks to his goal against Napoli, Yildiz has already beaten last term's tally of Serie A strikes, with eight scored so far; he also ranks second for both touches in the opposition box (120) and successful take-ons (42) in Italy's top flight. Meanwhile, David - who scored in the reverse fixture against Parma - has recently recorded three goal involvements from his last three away games, after failing to contribute any across his first eight in Serie A. ............ Parma possible starting lineup: Corvi; Delprato, Circati, Troilo; Britschgi, Bernabe, Keita, Sorensen, Valenti; Ondrejka; Pellegrino Juventus possible starting lineup: Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Thuram; Conceicao, McKennie, Yildiz; David ............ We say: Parma 0-2 Juventus Having tightened up their defence, Juventus should keep another clean sheet against toothless Parma, who average well under a goal per game. As Spalletti is also getting a sweeter tune out of his front line, Juve will surely take three points away from the Tardini. .

Spalletti wants a ‘combative’ Juventus in Parma, heaps praise on Osimhen & Icardi Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti didn’t like how the team performed on Wednesday in Monaco, so he’s expecting a comprehensive improvement in Sunday’s Serie A contest against Parma. ............ Therefore, Spalletti is urging his players to take more risks when they play Parma at the Ennio Tardini on Sunday. “This will be a stretch to navigate at full throttle, with so many games packed together. We have to find solutions,” said the 66-year-old in his pre-match press conference. “The decision not to go into a training camp is meant to give the players more space and freedom. As the number of matches increases, rest also has to increase. “These weeks have been planned this way: match, recovery session for those who played, conditioning work for those who didn’t. The following day a light session, then preparation for the next game and match again.” “In the last game, we didn’t do particularly well, it was an average match — that can happen in football — but I expect an immediate reaction. “Tomorrow will be a game with constant momentum swings and a lot of chaos, so I want to see a team that’s ready, even if it concedes a few counter-attacks because it wants to go and score. “I don’t want to see a relaxed team like the one we saw the other night. I live my life based on what happens on the pitch, and tomorrow I want a combative team, ready to strike whoever is in front of it.” ............ “Kenan can become a set-piece specialist. He has to train, because with the foot he has he can do it very well. An alien has to be able to do that too — otherwise what kind of alien would he be?! “He has to believe in it and work on that trait, not just for the ‘Del Piero comparison’ but because by the end of the season it can bring important points. In any case, we also have other players who can take set pieces.” ............ “Unfortunately, Cambiaso has Yildiz ahead of him, so he has to adapt to the choice of who is in front of him. Luckily they work very well together. They’re two players who know how to play football and give confidence to the ball. “With his movements, he’s important in creating new spaces. At the moment I have nothing to criticise about any of my players. Through work, qualities emerge — even the more hidden ones — and I see that they have plenty of them.” ............ “The market is in the hands of the club, I have a different role. We’ll see if in these final hours it’s possible to do something or not, but that won’t affect the conviction with which we work every day. The club is working non-stop to try to improve the squad; we’re waiting.” Juventus have been pitted against Galatasaray in the Champions League play-off, so Spalletti will be reunited with Mauro Icardi and Victor Osimhen. ............ “I have so many things to say about Osimhen. When I talk about him, I also like to talk about Icardi. They have the number 9 as their blood type. They have unquestionable quality — with the two of them you have every plan: Plan A, Plan B, Plan C. “With them you have the solutions; you just have to decide how to get back into the house: ring the doorbell, or knock the door down, or smash it in. Osimhen smashes it down; the other one, in the penalty area in terms of finishing, has been one of the best I’ve ever had the fortune to coach.” .

Capello analyses Inter, Juventus and Atalanta Champions League draws: ‘Complicated’ Fabio Capello has given his thoughts after Friday’s Champions League play-off draw, has explained why Inter face the biggest ‘risk’ against Bodo/Glimt, and has explained why Juventus’s clash against Galatasaray is just as ‘complicated’ as Atalanta’s tie with Borussia Dortmund. ............ Inter finished highest of the bench in 10th place, followed by Juventus in 13th and Atalanta in 15th. Napoli were beaten 3-2 at home against Chelsea on Wednesday night and were subsequently eliminated in 30th place. Friday’s knock-out round draw has seen Inter tied against Bodo/Glimt, Juventus against Galatasaray and Atalanta against Borussia Dortmund in two-legged play-off matches that will take place in the midweek slots of February 17/18 and February 24/25. ............ Turning his attention to Juventus, who will have to visit Istanbul in their tie against Galatasaray, Capello said: “It’s a boiling atmosphere there. They have great support and a lot of discipline, Galatasaray transform when they are at home. “They’ll have to play a real game in the first leg. There are old acquaintances in Osimhen and Icardi, but I see it as a difficult away game because of the way the atmosphere spurs the team on.” Juventus haven’t reached the Champions League round of 16 for the last four years, but Capello believes this is not a reason for the Bianconeri players to become nervous. “Their legs won’t shake. The opposite if anything. The fact that this is a difficult game will force the players to be more focused and determined. I see it as a bigger risk for Inter, the possibility of underestimating the occasion. ............ When asked if Atalanta or Juventus have the tougher tie, Capello said: “I see the first leg in Istanbul as being complicated, but in general, it’s Atalanta who have the most difficult opponent.” .

Juventus replicate Yildiz coup by poaching a promising Bayern Munich teenager Juventus have recruited young Bayern Munich attacker Adin Licina, evoking memories of signing Kenan Yildiz in the summer of 2022. The 20-year-old Turkish star had spent 10 years in the Bavarian academy, before making the move to Turin more than three years ago, and went on to establish himself as Juve’s biggest attraction and even inherited the iconic No.10 shirt that once belonged to his idol, Alessandro Del Piero. ............ Juventus have all but finalised the transfer of the 19-year-old, having received the green light from the Bundesliga giants in the last few hours. Licina’s contract with Bayern was set to expire at the end of the season, so the Bianconeri were able to poach him on a cut-price deal. ............ Licina has represented Germany across several age groups, including the U19, but he’s also eligible to play for Bosnia on the international level, which is his country of origin. The youngster is a left-footed attacker capable of filling various roles in the final third. He primarily plays as an inverted right winger, but can also feature on the opposite side of the pitch, and is also comfortable playing as an attacking midfielder. While Licina’s talent is undeniable, Vincent Kompany never granted him his senior debut, but only brought him to the first team’s training sessions on a few occasions. Therefore, the Germany U19 international had been exclusively featuring for Bayern’s second team, making 20 appearances this season, which yielded two goals and six assists. ............ .

Juventus expect to close two major contract renewals in February Juventus are increasingly optimistic about finalising the contract extensions of Kenan Yildiz and Weston McKennie in the coming weeks. The duo are considered instrumental to Luciano Spalletti’s plans, albeit for different reasons. The manager described the young Turk as an ‘alien’ due to his elusive skill set. On the other hand, the Texan is an extremely versatile player capable of fulfilling multiple tasks and covering every inch of gras. ............ Due to his meteoric rise to stardom, Yildiz has inevitably attracted the interest of some of the biggest clubs in the Premier League, in addition to LaLiga arch-rivals, Barcelona and Real Madrid. Therefore, Juventus are keen to ward off all suitors by tying down the 20-year-old to a new and improved contract. The two parties have virtually agreed on a sizable pay rise, which will elevate the player’s yearly salary to circa €6 million, making him one of the top earners at the club, aside from the departing Dusan Vlahovic. Yildiz is being represented by his father and other members of his family, who are expected in Turin by mid-February to put pen to paper on a new deal valid until June 2030. ............ While the young striker’s renewal is certainly a club priority, McKennie’s new deal is arguably a more urgent matter, considering that his current contract will expire in five months. ............ Like Yildiz, the 27-year-old is said to be close to penning a new contract valid until June 2028. Previous reports had expected his salary to rise to circa €4 million. .

Juventus keen to sign Bologna full-back regardless of Joao Mario swap Juventus and Bologna are hopeful of exchanging Emil Holm and Joao Mario, but the Bianconeri are determined to sign the Swede anyway. With only three days remaining before the closure of the January transfer window, the Bianconeri are keen to add one more right-back to their ranks, as Pierre Kalulu, who adjusted into this role, hasn’t been given a single minute of rest since the start of the season. ............ Although the negotiations between Juventus and Bologna are going at a fast pace, Joao Mario remains undecided. The Portuguese right-back hasn’t started a match since Luciano Spalletti arrived at Contanissa. However, leaving the club after a few disappointing months remains a difficult pill to swallow. But while the two clubs will try to convince the 26-year-old to accept a late-winter move, the source claims that Juventus will attempt to close a deal for Holm, regardless of Joao Mario’s fate. ............
