Juventus will welcome the new signing on Thursday. ............ João Mario will move to Turin from Porto in a player-plus-cash swap deal involving Alberto Costa, who will join the Portuguese club, returning to his native country after just seven months in Turin. João Mario has been valued €10m, while Porto will pay €15m plus €1m add-ons for Alberto Costa. ............ Porto’s domestic rivals Sporting CP had been in talks with Juventus for Alberto Costa earlier this summer, but failed to reach an agreement with the Bianconeri. .

Not just Bremer – Another five Juventus stars return early from summer vacation Although the pre-season will officially kick off on Thursday, six Juventus players have already reported to Continassa. The Bianconeri’s off-season was shortened by their participation in the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States. ............ As reported earlier this week, Bremer made an early appearance in Turin, returning from his vacation prematurely as he’s hellbent on regaining his optimal physical condition after more than nine months on the sidelines. ............ The 28-year-old has been making important leaps in his recovery path, and he’s looking to take part in the first summer friendly against Reggiana next week. Hence, he insisted on making a swift return to Continassa and working on a personalised program before rejoining group training when the camp begins. But Bremer wasn’t the only Juventus player to report early to training, as Lloyd Kelly, Juan Cabal, Mattia Perin, Fabio Miretti, and Nicolò Savona have also returned to the club’s facility. ............ Cabal suffered a similar injury to Bremer last November while on international duty, so he still has some work to do before returning to the field. As for Perin, he missed the Club World Cup as he had to undergo surgery to repair the damage in his hand. The same goes for Miretti who’s healing from a shoulder operation after hurting himself during his loan stint at Genoa. Moreover, Kelly and Savona picked up knocks during the tournament, and could be out action for the next few weeks. .

Sabatini explains why Comolli is ‘better than Giuntoli’ Italian journalist Sandro Sabatini believes that new Juventus General Director Damien Comolli is an upgrade on Cristiano Giuntoli. ............ Juventus replaced the departing director with Comolli, and even entrusted him with more responsibilities, hand him the title of ‘General Director’. Contrary to Giuntoli, the Frenchman has been taking things relatively slowly on the market, refusing to conduct another summer transfer frenzy. ............ The Italian TV presenter believes that Comolli has already proved to be an upgrade on Giuntoli, despite the lack of action on the market. “Juventus is trying to make up for a transfer market that cost €200 million last year, but despite the big cost, the team is weaker than it was a year ago.” “But now I see a transfer market full of good intentions. They’re doing a better job. Comolli, in my opinion, is better than Giuntoli, but we’ll see what happens in the end. It’s still early days.” ............ “The starters are Conceicao on one side and Yildiz on the other. Sancho has missed a lot of chances, in my opinion he wouldn’t start at Juventus.” .

Who is new Juventus defender Joao Mario? Porto FC defender João Mario is set to join Juventus on a permanent transfer. Let’s find out more about the new Bianconeri signing. João Mario, 25, is set to join Juventus for €10m from Porto, while Alberto Costa will join the Portuguese club for €16m including add-ons. João Mario will undergo medical tests with the Old Lady on Thursday. A product of the Porto Academy, João Mario made 181 appearances at a senior level with the Portuguese giants and has three appearances with the Portugal national team. ............ João Mario is 178 cm tall and is quite skilled with both his right and left feet. Despite that, he’s always played on the right flank, either as a right-back or a right wing-back, which is where Igor Tudor is expected to deploy him. ............ The Portuguese defender netted five goals at a senior level with Porto. ............ Stats suggest João Mario has an attacking attitude, as he averaged only 0.4 interceptions per game in 2024-25, one tackle per game, and 2.9 ball recoveries. The Portuguese seems quite fit, having missed just four games due to injuries in 2024-25. ............ . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/who-is-new-juventus-defender-joao-mario/

Done deal: Juventus & Porto set to complete double deal – Figures revealed Juventus and Porto have reached an agreement over the double transfer of Joao Mario and Alberto Costa. ............ Juventus and Porto have already agreed on every detail, with the two players flying to complete their respective medicals. ............ This won’t be treated as a swap deal, but rather two separate transfers. Juventus will receive €16 million for Costa who had only joined the club in January, completing a €13 million switch from Vitoria Guimarães. ............ On the other hand, Juventus will pay Porto €12 million for Mario, who also plays as a right-back, and is expected to be used as a right wingback in Tudor’s 3-4-2-1 formation. The 25-year-old first joined Porto’s youth academy at the tender age of 8. He went through every age group before becoming a member of the first team in 2020. ............ .

Juventus winger undergoing medical in Germany ahead of imminent transfer Juventus youngster Samuel Mbangula is currently undergoing his medical tests before signing his contract with Werder Bremen. The Belgian spent time in the academies of the two biggest clubs in his native country, namely Club Brugge and Anderlecht, before being poached by the Bianconeri in 2020. ............ Mbangula has been placed on the transfer list this summer. He was reportedly close to sealing a move to Nottingham Forest, but his entourage couldn’t agree on personal terms with the Premier League club. Nevertheless, Werder Bremen succeeded where Forest had failed, striking an agreement with both Juventus and the player. ............ Mbangula has already landed in Germany to finalise his transfer, and is now having his medical. The Bundesliga boys are expected to pay a transfer fee of €10 million, in addition to bonuses worth circa €3 million. This deal will generate significant capital gains for the Bianconeri who spent less than €500,000 to acquire the winger’s services five years ago. .

Questo in Arabia Saudita guadagna un sacco di soldi. Perché dovrebbe venire alla Juve per quattro spiccioli?

Official: Juventus sign Conceicao in permanent deal from Porto Juventus have officially announced the signing of winger Francisco Conceicao on a permanent deal from Porto after a successful loan spell in Turin during the 2024-25 campaign. The 22-year-old, who joined Juventus on a straight loan deal for the 2024-25 season, which was later extended until the end of the FIFA Club World Cup, has put pen to paper on a five-year contract with the Bianconeri, which will run until the summer of 2030. Juventus have confirmed that they have agreed to pay a total fee of €30.4m to Porto, which will be paid over four instalments. ............ He arrived back in Turin and completed his medical with Juventus earlier on Tuesday. ............ Conceicao provided six goals and seven assists from his 40 appearances across all competitions during his initial loan spell, which did not include an option to buy, despite Juventus deciding to purchase the player regardless. ............ .

Juventus wants Liverpool star but he costs too much Juventus are in the market for a new striker as it anticipates the departure of Dusan Vlahovic during the current transfer window. ............ One of the names now emerging as a target is Darwin Núñez of Liverpool. The Uruguayan striker came close to joining Napoli in recent weeks, having reportedly agreed personal terms with the Italian side. However, the deal ultimately collapsed after Napoli failed to reach an agreement with Liverpool regarding the transfer fee. With Liverpool still open to selling Núñez, Juventus may now have an opportunity to bring him to Turin. The Premier League side is considering signing Alexander Isak, and Núñez’s departure could be key to making room in their squad. The striker himself is said to be open to a move, having struggled to find consistent form in front of goal during his time in England. ............ The major obstacle for Juventus is Liverpool’s valuation of the player. The English club are demanding 60 million euros, a figure that currently exceeds Juventus’ budget for the position. Unless Liverpool lowers their asking price or Juventus is able to generate significant funds through sales, a deal may prove difficult to complete. There is little doubt within the Juventus camp that Núñez would strengthen the squad. His physical presence, work rate and attacking instincts could bring a new dynamic to the front line. However, the financial demands of such a move remain a considerable challenge. ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/juventus-wants-liverpool-star-but-he-costs-too-much/

Juventus adds Atletico Madrid man to their shopping list Juventus are actively seeking to strengthen their defensive line this summer, with preparations underway for the potential departures of Alberto Costa and Timothy Weah. ............ With this in mind, Juventus are actively identifying replacements, and one of their key targets is Atletico Madrid’s Nahuel Molina. The Argentine full-back has fallen out of favour under Diego Simeone and is no longer considered a central figure in the Spanish side’s plans. ............ Juventus have renewed their interest in Molina, a player they previously tracked during his time at Udinese in Serie A. While no move materialised during his spell in Italy, the Bianconeri now view him as a realistic and valuable target to bolster their defence. A return to Italy could be on the cards for Molina, with Juventus reportedly keen to secure his signature in the coming weeks. The player’s experience in both Serie A and La Liga positions him well to make an immediate impact, should a transfer be completed. ............ .

Joao Mario alla Juve? Quello ex-Inter?

Bremer could make long-anticipated Juventus return in two weeks Juventus defender Gleison Bremer could take the pitch for the first time since October in the club’s first summer friendly. The Brazilian has been on the sidelines since suffering a horrific ACL injury during the club’s Champions League group-stage clash against RB Leipzig back in early October. ............ The former Torino star was even added to Igor Tudor’s FIFA Club World Cup squad last month, albeit he didn’t make any appearances throughout the competition. But Bremer is itching to make his return to the field, so he decided to cut his holiday short by a few days. ............ While Tudor’s men are expected to report to training on Thursday for the start of pre-season, the centre-back will be at Continassa on Monday to begin his personalised training before joining the group three days later. As the source explains, the Brazil international is hoping to take part in Juve’s first summer friendly against Reggiana on August 2 which will take place at the club’s training centre at Continassa. ............ .

Juventus closer to Kolo Muani deal after succumbing to PSG condition Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly closer to sealing a deal with Paris Saint-Germain for the transfer of Randal Kolo Muani. ............ Kolo Muani is also desperate to play his football at the Allianz Stadium next season. He has already expressed his happiness at Juventus, and is hoping that the two clubs find an agreement that would make his wish come true. ............ While Juventus have been hoping to sign the player on loan with an option to buy, the European champions insist on including an obligation clause, as they want to guarantee a sale at the end of the season. PSG have seemingly got their way, with Juventus consenting to their terms. As the source reveals, the Bianconeri are now willing to sign Kolo Muani on loan with an obligation to buy at the end of the season. So if this obstacle has truly been resolved, it means that Juventus should be very close to finalising the transfer, as they already have an agreement with the player. ............ .

Juventus Agree Mbangula Transfer Fee with Werder Bremen in €13m Deal Samuel Mbangula is heading to the Bundesliga, with Juventus agreeing a transfer fee worth up to €13 million with Werder Bremen for the Belgian winger. The deal provides the Bianconeri with a solid capital gain for a player who cost them next to nothing when he joined their academy in 2020. The deal for Mbangula is an initial €10 million transfer fee plus €3 million in potential bonuses. Mbangula has agreed a five-year contract with the German club, keeping him at the Weserstadion until the summer of 2030. ............ Mbangula was seen as a breakout talent in the early weeks of the 2024/25 season, handed surprise starts by Motta and initially making good on his manager’s trust. His goal against Como felt like the start of a major breakthrough. But inconsistency and managerial changes quickly changed his trajectory at the club. By the time the Club World Cup came around, he didn’t feature at all — not even in the squad for the final group game against Manchester City. Tudor’s system, which doesn’t involve natural wingers, made it challenging for Mbangula to find minutes. ............ The sale also gives Juventus added financial flexibility, with proceeds from the Mbangula and Nico Gonzalez exits expected to fund a move for Jadon Sancho. ............ This deal follows a similar pattern to Juventus’ strategy last summer, when they offloaded multiple Next Gen graduates for profit. However, the decision to sell a 21-year-old with raw talent and top-level experience is not without risk. ............ There’s a growing concern among some fans that Juventus could live to regret this one if Mbangula flourishes in Germany. But for now, the club is focused on streamlining the squad and reinvesting strategically under Tudor. . Read more -> https://www.footitalia.com/news/mbangula-transfer-fee-juventus-werder-bremen/

Why Igor Tudor is annoyed with Juventus transfer strategy Juventus manager Igor Tudor is reportedly unsatisfied with one particular aspect of the club’s transfer campaign. ............ The former Bianconeri defender is now preparing for his first full season as Juventus boss, while Damien Comolli and Co. are working on providing him with a squad suitable for his 3-4-2-1 system. But Tudor hasn’t been entirely pleased with the management’s work thus far, particularly in the excessive time they’re taking to finalise transfers. ............ The former Marseille and Lazio manager was hoping to have the bulk of the squad ready for pre-season. However, the club’s preparations will begin on Thursday, and Juventus have only managed to sign Jonathan David thus far, albeit Francisco Conceicao’s permanent transfer should be announced in the coming hours. ............ However, the hierarchy has been struggling to offload the likes of Dusan Vlahovic and Douglas Luiz, which has derailed their plans. ............ .

Juventus and Como pondering goalkeeper swap deal Juventus and Como are reportedly reflecting on an exchange deal involving Mattia Perin and Emil Audero. ............ On the other hand, Perin grew frustrated with the lack of playing time he received over the years, and is now ready for a change in scenery. ............ But Como could represent an interesting destination for Perin. ............ As reported in recent days, the Bianconeri have been considering bringing Audero back to the club. The 28-year-old is a youth product of Juventus who went on to make a name for himself at Sampdoria. The Italo-Indonesian signed for Como last summer, but failed to lock himself a starting spot, so he spent the second half of the season on loan at Palermo. ............ .

Newcastle intensify their attempts to secure deal for Juventus defender Newcastle United are reportedly keen to secure the services of versatile Juventus defender Nicolo Savona. The 22-year-old is a youth product of the Bianconeri who joined the club’s academy at a tender age and sharpened his skills at every age group before finally earning a promotion to the first team last summer. ............ In recent days, Newcastle expressed their interest in the Italy U21 starlet, considering him a potential reinforcement for Eddie Howe’s squad ahead of a packed campaign that will also include Champions League football. ............ Although they have yet to submit an official offer, the Premier League boys appear to be seriously interested in the full-back. As for Juventus, they have set their asking price at €20-25 million. The Serie A giants are willing to cash in on their youth product, as his sale would constitute a pure capital gain. ............ .

La differenza é che i calciatori non giocano in questo periodo dell'anno. Comunque spero anche io che ci sbrighiamo a cedere e acquistare per dare a Tudor la squadra al completo il piú presto possibile.

Viviamo in un periodo in cui si ammette sempre piú raramente di avere sbagliato e si chiede scusa. Quella della De Laurentiis non é saggezza bensí arroganza e ipocrisia. E i beoti le danno ragione. Francamente non me ne importa niente. La facciata é splendida ma all'interno c'é ignoranza e vanagloria.

Certamente peró questo é il periodo dell'anno in cui i direttori si devono occupare del mercato. Al posto suo non sarei andato in vacanza adesso. Tutto qui.

“It won’t be enough” – Capello warns Tudor ahead his second Juventus season Legendary Italian manager Fabio Capello insists that Igor Tudor will have to deliver better results in his first full campaign at Juventus. ............ However, Capello warns Tudor that finishing in the Champions League zone won’t be enough this time around, as the management and the fanbase will expect to see the club making a step in the right direction. “Juve have resolved their defence issues by confirming Gatti and Bremer,” noted the former Juventus, Real Madrid and England manager. “Let’s look at Tudor. He took them to the Champions League last season, but this won’t be enough this term.” ............ “The challenge will be Koopmeiners. We expected him to be the scoring midfielder like Scott McTominay last season. And yet, he disappeared. “Sancho’s role depends on Tudor’s vision, how he wants to play, whether he should move out wide. He’s the coach.” ............ “I hope Kolo Muani comes back, I really like him. Otherwise, they should keep Vlahovic, even if his time at Juventus seems to be over.” .

Il direttore Comolli si trova in vacanza nel sud-ovest della Francia dopo essere stato in Turchia a godersi l'estate.

Juventus tell Paris Saint-Germain player is not available for sale Juventus overhauled their midfield last summer with the signings of Khephren Thuram, Teun Koopmeiners and Douglas Luiz, forming a trio that significantly elevated the squad’s quality and depth. ............ As Juventus encountered inconsistency throughout the campaign, Thuram emerged as a vital presence in midfield. His performances were not only consistent but also decisive, making him arguably the standout signing of the season. While Koopmeiners and Luiz tended to struggle, it was Thuram who gained the most ground, becoming central to the team’s tactical setup and long-term vision. His development has impressed both supporters and club officials, and Juventus are now looking to secure his future. The Bianconeri have no intention of parting ways with the midfielder and are already planning to offer him a new contract in recognition of his impact. ............ Despite Juventus’s firm stance, Thuram’s impressive form has naturally attracted interest from other top clubs. Paris Saint-Germain recently made an enquiry about the player’s availability. However, Juventus responded swiftly, making it clear that Thuram is not for sale under any circumstances. ............ .
