Koopmeiners working overtime as he aims to earn starting role against Empoli New Juventus signing Teun Koopmeiners isn’t planning to waste time in Turin, as he appears eager to make his full debut as soon as possible. ............ Prior to the move, the 26-year-old decided to stop training with his Atalanta teammates in an attempt to force his exit. Whether this maneuver played a positive or negative role in the transfer saga remains debatable, but it probably cost the midfielder from a physical standpoint. ............ The Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman decided to leave the new Bianconero out of the national team squad for the ongoing international break. Therefore, the player took the opportunity to fully immerse himself into Thiago Motta’s tactical plans while also working on regaining his optimal physical condition through some extra workouts. ............

Fenerbahce confirm agreement with Juventus over Kostic Fenerbahce have released a statement confirming an agreement with Juventus over the transfer of Filip Kostic. ............ During the summer, Kostic rejected proposals from Saudi Arabia, as well as the likes of Crystal Palace and Southampton. But with the transfer market shut almost everywhere on the globe, Turkiye became his ultimate escape route. The winger has been linked with a move to Galatasaray, but it was their crosstown rivals Fenerbahce who managed to seal the deal. Kostic will thus join Jose Mourinho’s revolution on the east side of Istanbul. He will sign for the Blue and Yellow club on loan until the end of the season. ............

Anche io ero in Italia in quell'estate e per giunta nell'Italia meridionale. Per Totó c'era una passione eccezionale, lo posso confermare.

Chi ha vissuto le "notti magiche" del 1990 non puó che provare un profondo affetto per Totó Schillaci. Speriamo che ce la faccia. Ha solo 59 anni.

Tuttosport dice che é ricoverato all'Ospedale Civico di Palermo.

Former Juve striker Michele Padovano has expressed his admiration for the team’s promising start and believes they will only improve as their new additions integrate and Motta’s system takes full effect. With this blend of experience and youthful energy, Juventus looks poised for a strong season ahead. He said: “Motta is surprising me, he had the courage to take his responsibilities and spoke immediately of a Juve that must win, he knows that this is what the history of the club requires. I liked the fact that he was not afraid to field young players like Savona and Mbangula and I like his game with phrases that start from the bottom. When the new signings are well-oiled, I believe that Juve will get great satisfaction.” ............

Pavan blames national teams for causing injuries after Gonzalez fitness scare Massimo Pavan believes that managers who select players who have not properly prepared for matches are often responsible for some of the injuries those players suffer. He shared this view after Nicolas Gonzalez pulled up injured during Argentina’s latest match. ............ Although he is undoubtedly a key player for his country, his recent injury raises concerns. Pavan questions the decision to play Gonzalez, given that he has hardly featured this season. He said: “These injuries don’t leave anyone at ease, but the fault lies with those who call up players who haven’t done the preparation. Obviously if you put a player who has never played to play 50 minutes he gets injured, it doesn’t take Einstein…” ............

Juventus gets some good news on the fitness of Nicolas Gonzalez Juventus panicked when they saw Nicolas Gonzalez limping off during Argentina’s last match. ............ Gonzalez started their game against Chile but took a hard knock early in the second half and couldn’t continue. It appeared he had suffered an ankle injury that could potentially sideline him for an extended period. ............

Stefano Impallomeni not sure if giving Yildiz the number 10 shirt was right Pundit Stefano Impallomeni has weighed in on Juventus’ decision to assign the number 10 shirt to Kenan Yıldız. The Bianconeri have made it clear that Yıldız will be a central figure in their plans for the coming years, reflecting their trust in his potential. The Turkish youngster has experienced a swift ascent in football over the past few seasons and is now a regular member of the Juve first team. ............ Impallomeni has now commented, and when asked if he thinks it was a good decision to hand Yildiz the shirt number, he said: “I like it, but I don’t know. The number 10 of Juve is heavy, and cumbersome. I don’t know how much it can facilitate his growth. It’s a psychological issue. It’s the shirt worn by Platini and Del Piero, are we sure that his talent is so enormous? When you’re young you have to be presumptuous; you want to break the world, but then you need confirmation. We’ll see if Motta will be good at turning him into a champion, for now, he isn’t.” ............

Vladimir Jugovic defends Motta’s decision on Douglas Luiz Many have noticed Thiago Motta’s continued decision to bench Douglas Luiz, despite the Brazilian being one of the standout midfielders in the Premier League last season. ............ Luiz’s situation is particularly notable, as Juventus sacrificed two players and added cash to bring him into their squad. While Luiz is eager to earn his place in the starting lineup, former Juve star Vladimir Jugović has supported Motta’s decision to gradually integrate him into the team: “I think no one better than Thiago Motta can understand and manage a Brazilian midfielder coming from a foreign league. “The impression is that Thiago Motta is protecting Douglas Luiz while waiting for his true physical takeoff. At Juventus, you must be at the top to play. It was like that in my time and will always be so.” ............

Juventus could offload Danilo at the end of this season Danilo has been struggling to get game time at Juventus this season, which comes as a surprise, given that he was one of the most trusted players under the former Juventus manager. ............ Danilo has lost his starting spot this season, with Nicolo Savona playing ahead of him at right-back and Federico Gatti being preferred at centre-back. So far, Juventus has shown they can perform without Danilo and the club may be open to letting him leave as early as January. If he doesn’t secure a move by then, Juventus could push for his departure at the end of the season. Danilo is one of the club’s highest earners, so if he’s not an integral part of their plans, they are likely to encourage him to move on. ............

Luca Toni has his say as on Douglas Luiz’s bench role at Juventus Douglas Luiz was one of the first players to join Juventus during Thiago Motta’s overhaul, but the midfielder has yet to secure a starting spot at the Allianz Stadium. ............ Many expected Luiz to be a regular starter, and his situation may become even more challenging with Teun Koopmeiners now in the mix as an option for Motta. Asked what he thinks of Luiz’s time warming the bench at the club so far, Luca Toni said: “We’ve all understood, even us from the outside, that Thiago Motta doesn’t base decisions on the name behind the shirt but on what he sees in training. “Everyone benefits if a player understands him, mainly because Douglas Luiz’s quality and international relevance aren’t questioned.” ............

Why Thiago Motta has still not trusted Douglas Luiz to start matches at Juventus Juventus offered two players plus cash to sign Douglas Luiz from Aston Villa in the last transfer window, highlighting how highly they regarded him as a key target. ............ Given his reputation and being one of the first arrivals under Thiago Motta, Juventus expected Luiz to become an instant starter. However, after three league games, he has primarily been used as a substitute. ............ Luiz has not yet been a starter because his physical and tactical conditioning is not at its peak. He is currently undergoing a personalized training program to improve these areas. Once he is fully ready, Luiz is expected to earn more minutes and eventually start matches for Juventus. ............

Juventus is keen to spread Vlahovic’s salary with a new contract According to his contract terms with Juventus, Dusan Vlahovic is earning at least €10 million per season starting this campaign. This figure will increase to €12 million in the final year of his contract, which expires in 2026. ............ The Bianconeri are aware that they need to secure an extension soon, and one way to do that is by renegotiating his contract to lower his wages. Although he is a starter, his current earnings exceed the club’s desired financial limits, so a change is necessary. Juve plans to extend his contract by spreading his current wages over a longer period. ............ It remains unclear if DV9 and his representatives will be willing to make such a compromise to stay at the Allianz Stadium. ............

Luca Toni confident: “Vlahovic can score 30 goals for Juventus” Luca Toni, the former Juventus striker, has expressed strong confidence in Dusan Vlahovic’s potential to achieve a 30-goal season with Juventus. ............ “Vlahovic? We are only at the beginning, but the signs are encouraging from this point of view: he has scored two goals, but he has had chances and with less bad luck, he could have scored a few more. Juventus will play many matches, participating in five competitions: yes, I am convinced that Dusan can also reach 30 goals,” Toni stated. ............ “Koopmeiners and Vlahovic can make each other’s fortune, even in the goal area. The Dutchman’s through balls will be fundamental for Dusan. But I am convinced that the Serbian’s movements will free up important spaces for Koop, very poisonous when he takes aim. Yildiz will also be very valuable, as he can become Juventus’ revelation. The new number 10 is a modern player: he has creativity, can beat his man, and then there’s the Bayern school, a guarantee.” ............
