Injury-prone Juventus star hurt himself in the ‘gym accident’ Juventus striker Arkadiusz Milik can’t catch a break these days, as he has now injured himself while working in the gym on the first day of pre-season. The 31-year-old missed the entire 2024/25 campaign through injury. He has been on the sidelines since hurting his knee in June 2024. ............ After multiple surgeries, Milik is hoping to put his career back on track, but his spell of bad luck isn’t showing any signs of disappearing. According to the official Juventus website, Milik had an accident in the gym on the first day of pre-season, thus suffering a lacerated-concussion injury to the right anterior tibial region. The good news is that the striker will only miss seven days of action, at least based on the initial assessment made by the club’s medical staff. ............ There were some reports in previous months indicating that the club would be open to rescinding his contract. However, other sources believe that the Bianconeri would prefer to either sell him, albeit for a low transfer fee, or perhaps loan him out to another club where he can gradually regain his optimal physical condition in a less demanding environment. ............ .

Douglas Luiz snubs Everton and West Ham for big club dream Douglas Luiz has created a fresh hurdle in Juventus’ plans to sell him this summer, with reports from Italy claiming that the Brazilian only wants to sign for a top club – putting the likes of Everton and West Ham on the back-burner. The midfielder is not opposed to playing in the Premier League but only if it is for a top club; the Toffees, Hammers and even Nottingham Forest may therefore not be able to secure a move for the former Aston Villa player. ............ The reports suggest that the Old Lady want €40 million for the midfielder, after spending €50 million on the Brazilian just last summer. The club have reportedly received offers from Saudi Arabia but Luiz rejected these proposals, reaffirming his intention to remain playing for a top European club. .

West Ham & Nottingham Forest learn Juve’s asking price for Douglas Luiz Juventus have set their asking price for Douglas Luiz who appears to be on his way back to the Premier League. ............ The player suffered a torrid first season in Italian football, and was eventually dropped from Igor Tudor’s plans. Luiz didn’t take this decision lightly, so he refused to show up for the club’s pre-season on Thursday without official leave. This defiant stance won’t go unpunished, as Juventus plan to slap the player with a significant fine. ............ The 27-year-old cost the Bianconeri €50 million last summer (including the values of Enzo Barrenechea and Samuel Iling-Junior who went in the opposite direction). Therefore, the player’s current book value is €40 million, so the club isn’t willing to go below this figure in order to avoid registering a capital loss. West Ham, Nottingham Forest and Everton are Luiz’s main suitors, while Manchester United could potentially enter the race at some stage. .

Milan plot first bid for Juventus outcast Vlahovic Milan are preparing to launch a first bid for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, reports from Italy claim, as the Rossoneri look to sign the former Fiorentina man for a discounted price this summer. ............ Allegri’s Milan are readying an offer believed to be in the region of €18-20 million. With Jonathan David’s arrival in Turin on a free transfer from Lille this summer, Vlahovic’s place at the Old Lady is under serious threat and he has been rumoured away from the club as a result of this. ............ Milan have been amongst the clubs interested in the Serbian and at this point, look to be the most concrete option for the Partizan youth graduate. ............ .

Juventus offer Weston McKennie in exchange for Roma stalwart Juventus are reportedly hoping to pull off a swap deal with Roma, trading the services of their midfielders Weston McKennie and Bryan Cristante. The American is currently facing an uncertain future in Turin, as his contract will expire in less than a year. ............ The Juventus management identified Cristante as a suitable candidate for his particular role. The 30-year-old might not be the most inspiring for the fanbase, but Comolli and Co. are looking to restore the club’s habit of having a solid Italian core, which historically brought success to the club. ............ Comolli feels that Cristante possesses the required characteristics for the role. The 30-year-old is a defensive midfielder who rose through the ranks of Milan. He then had spells at Benfica, Palermo and Atalanta, and has been playing his trade at the Stadio Olimpico since 2018. The Euro 2020 winner has massive experience in Serie A, with 303 games under his belt. His contract with the Giallorossi will expire in 2027. ............ .

Real Betis enter the race for fringe Juventus midfielder Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo has reportedly earned himself a new admirer in the shape of Real Betis. ............ Arthur relaunched his career with an impressive stint at Fiorentina in 2023/24, but the Tuscans were repelled by his hefty wages, opting against signing him on a permanent basis. The midfielder spent the previous campaign at Girona, and has now reported to Continassa for Juve’s pre-season as per custom. ............ Real Betis are interested in the Juventus outcast, considering him a suitable profile to replace Johnny Cardoso, who left the club to join Atletico Madrid. The source also mentions that Arthur has suitors in Qatar, but his desire is to stay in Europe, especially with a World Cup to be played at the end of the season. ............ .

Ma chi é quella nel topic di Tudor? E soprattutto che c'entra? A meno che non sia la moglie del mister. A parte gli scherzi, il topic dedicato a Tudor non dovrebbe trovarsi nell'archivio visto che é un tesserato attuale della Juventus. Se fossi ancora un membro dello staff lo riporterei in Juventus Forum e lo unirei a questo.

Juventus rejected lucrative Chelsea offer for Yildiz Juventus have recently turned down a lucrative transfer offer from Chelsea for Turkey international Kenan Yildiz. According to Friday’s reports, Enzo Maresca’s Club World Cup-winning side attempted to pinch Yildiz away from the Bianconeri, however, Juventus have outright rejected the approach and remain keen on handing the fan favourite a new and improved contract. Chelsea had reportedly been willing to offer a fee in the region of €65m-€68m to lure the 20-year-old away from the Allianz Stadium. Juventus remain clear in their stance that Yildiz is not for sale. ............ Yildiz was handed a new deal at the beginning of the 2024-25 campaign, which saw his wages rise from around €300,000 per season to a figure close to the €1m-per-season mark. ............ Now, after a successful season on an individual level, Yildiz is set for another pay rise, as recent reports claim Juve are willing to nudge his salary up to somewhere in the region of €3.5m per season, in line with the other key first-team players in the Bianconeri squad. .

I’m really excited to play with him and all my other teammates.” ............ “When I started my career, I played as a winger due to my attacking style. Now, however, I play at right-back as I feel comfortable in this position. “The fans can expect an attacking player who enjoys creating chances, providing assists, and scoring some goals if possible. And that’s what I hope to give.” . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/joao-mario-conceicao-convinced-join-juventus/

Juventus offer to send Kostic back to Fenerbahce in exchange for Mourinho’s pupil Juventus are determined to sign a new midfielder this summer, as Fenerbahce’s Sofyan Amrabat emerges as one of the options. ............ As reported earlier today, the Bianconeri have identified Sporting CP captain Morten Hojlund as their preferred candidate for role, but his expensive price tag could force them to look elsewhere. Hence, Juventus are keeping tabs on several other options, including Tottenham Hotspur stalwart Yves Bissouma and towering Fulham midfielder Sander Berge. Nevertheless, sources in the Italian press have now identified Amrabat as a potential solution for this role. The 28-year-old is a battling midfielder with substantial Serie A experience under his belt, having represented Hellas Verona and Fiorentina between 2019 and 2023. ............ Fenerbahce are willing to sell the midfielder for €15 million. This figure would represent a swift windfall for the Istanbul-based giants who have only recently exercised their option to buy the player from Fiorentina for €12 million. As the source explains, Juventus believe they might be able to drive the price further down by offering Filip Kostic in exchange. ............ .
