Who will be Vlahovic’s understudy at Juventus? Two main options surface Juventus are searching the market for a striker who can act as a backup for Dusan Vlahovic, and have apparently earmarked two Serie A profiles. The Italian giants are currently revamping their attacking department, with Matias Soulé, Federico Chiesa and Arkadiusz Milik all tipped to follow Moise Kean to the exit door. ............. The Bianconeri have identified two players for this delicate role. The first is Mateo Retegui who has been plying his trade in Genoa since making the move from Boca Juniors last summer. ............. The alternative option is Napoli’s Giacomo Raspadori, a versatile attacker who can play almost anywhere in the final third. .............

Juventus planning five sales to finance Koopmeiners move – The list revealed Juventus are looking to sell five of their players in order to raise funds for their transfer targets, and chief among them is Teun Koopmeiners. ............. The management has listed five players who must be sold to finance the Koopmeiners operation. The first name on the list is Matias Soulé who can generate the biggest transfer fee. Juventus are refusing to sell the Argentine for anything less than 35 million euros despite Roma’s vigorous attempts. Then we have Dean Huijsen who could yield a figure worth 25 million euros. ............. The third name on the list is Wojciech Szczesny who has become surplus to requirements following Michele Di Gregorio’s arrival. ............. Mattia De Sciglio and Daniele Rugani are now considered among the deadwood and will have to find new accommodations.

Soulé reaffirms desire to join Roma, rejecting higher Leicester City offer Matias Soulé informed Leicester City and Juventus via his agent that he only wants to join Roma, even if the Premier League side is offering more. ............. They note that Soulé and his representative made clear once again today that it does not matter if Leicester City or any other club is going to offer more for the transfer fee or his wages. Juventus respect that, but need Roma to bump up their proposal from €28m to at least €30m. He is absolutely convinced that Roma is the right step for his career after speaking directly to coach Daniele De Rossi, fellow Argentines Paulo Dybala and Leandro Paredes. It is not about finances or even ambition, so much as the sporting project and also the lifestyle he would enjoy in Rome. .............

Koopmeiners returns to action for Atalanta as he waits for Juventus Teun Koopmeiners has recovered from the injury that forced him to miss Euro 2024 and played his first game for Atalanta yesterday. The Dutchman has agreed to move to Juventus and continue his career in Turin, but the Bianconeri must agree on a transfer fee with Atalanta before he can leave. ............. He started Atalanta’s game against their U19 side. It was an in-house friendly game that provided an opportunity to assess the players’ fitness levels, and Koopmeiners returned to action. He started and played the first 45 minutes without any problems, which should reassure Juve that he has no fitness issues to worry about. .............

Simone Braglia thinks Chiesa will perform better away from Juventus Federico Chiesa is not back at Juventus for the pre-season training camp after representing Italy at Euro 2024, leaving the attacker’s future uncertain. Chiesa is one of Juventus’s big-name stars, but that seems to be just on paper; he is no longer an untouchable player at the club. ............. Former goalkeeper Simone Braglia suggested the attacker would be better off playing for another club. “As for the future at the national level, I think he is an element that can still give a lot. He needs to find an environment that gives him confidence. A person who has confidence in the environment gives the best of himself. And professionalism has little to do with it. Where would I see him best? Not at Juve, if there is no unity of purpose in the environment. If he doesn’t feel the confidence, I would recommend any other club, whether it’s Naples or Rome”. .............

Juventus managed to hijack the move from their bitter rivals, although Verona’s president Maurizio Setti suggests that they didn’t have a formal agreement with Inter before Juventus stepped in to secure the signing. “No, there has never been a real advantage but internal and shared choices.

Xavier Jacobelli reckons Juventus target is worth 60 million euros Journalist Xavier Jacobelli has commented on Juventus’ pursuit of Teun Koopmeiners from Atalanta. The midfielder is their main target for the summer, and Juve considers him the player who will complete their midfield rebuild. ............ Juve is working to raise the necessary funds, and according to Jacobelli, this fee reflects the quality of the Dutchman and is a fair valuation. “The 60 million euros Atalanta are asking for Koopmeiners is a fair price and the success of the operation will depend on Juventus. On the other hand, the fact that Chiesa and Soulé are on the market means that he is looking for money to sign the Dutchman. Atalanta has a contract with him until 2027, so they are in a strong position.” ............ Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/xavier-jacobelli-reckons-juventus-target-is-worth-60-million-euros/

Cabal: ‘I was always a Juventus fan as a kid’ Juan Cabal had a photograph on social media of himself as a child in a counterfeit Juventus jersey, but now gets to wear it for real after an €11m transfer. ‘I was always a Juve fan.’ This perhaps explains why the Colombia international was so eager to switch over and join the Bianconeri yesterday, despite having already agreed personal terms and a move to Inter. When Cristiano Giuntoli approached, the 23-year-old had no doubts and passed his medical this morning, completing the transfer from Hellas Verona for €11m plus up to €3.8m in bonuses. “I am very happy, as this is one of the biggest clubs in the world and I am so overjoyed to wear this jersey,” Cabal told the official club website. Following the swoop, an image went viral from Cabal’s social media accounts showing him as a kid in a knock-off Juve shirt. “As a kid, I wore this jersey that was not an original one, and now I get to wear the legendary Juventus shirt and I am so happy. I was always a Juve fan.” ............ “I am someone who can play both positions, I’m very quick and well-behaved, both on and off the field. My idols are Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos.” ............ “Everyone in Colombia is celebrating, because this is an important step for me, my family and all the kids who also have a dream and can see me making it happen.” Read more -> https://football-italia.net/cabal-i-was-always-a-juventus-fan-as-a-kid/

Explaining Douglas Luiz’s new Juventus role after move from Aston Villa Thiago Motta is planning to use new Juventus signing Douglas Luiz as a central defender in some games and ‘depending on opponents’ but insists central midfielders must be able to do ‘everything.’ ............ “He is a great footballer. We did a great job in having him here. He plays for Brazil, which is not a small thing. He had an important season, qualifying for the Champions League for a team [Aston Villa] that was not among the candidates,” said Motta. “He is a complete footballer who will easily adapt to our playing style. He must be able to change roles during the game and, defensively, depending on our opponents, he will also play as a defender.” ............ “To me, midfielders must do everything,” he said. “Defend, attack, know how to play the ball, tackle and score.

Is Cabal a new Calafiori for Thiago Motta at Juventus? Juventus are on the verge of signing Juan Cabal from Hellas Verona and the two roles the Colombian can cover suggest he may be a new Riccardo Calafiori for Thiago Motta in Turin. Verona defender Cabal arrived in Turin this morning to undergo medical tests with Juventus ahead of a permanent €12m transfer, including add-ons. ............ His versatility reminds of Bologna star Calafiori who joined the Rossoblu as a left-back last summer, but developed into a centre-back under Motta at the Stadio Dall’Ara in 2023-24. Motta will be unveiled as the new Juventus coach at a press conference later today when he will likely discuss his ideas on Cabal. ............ There are, however, clear differences between the two defenders, as their price tags suggest. As mentioned, Cabal will move to Turin on a €10m deal plus €2m add-ons, while Calafiori is expected to join Arsenal for over €50m. ............ Cabal is a year older than Calafiori, but the Italian international was clearly unaffordable for the Bianconeri after impressive performances for Bologna and during the Euros. ............

Michele Padovano insists Chiesa has not been good enough for Juventus The future of Federico Chiesa is uncertain at Juventus, and it has also divided the club’s fanbase. ............ With a year left on his contract, Juve is ready to sell him if he does not sign the contract they have offered him. Chiesa is still considered a good player by some Juve fans and neutrals, but ex-Bianconeri star Michele Padovano insists he has not performed well in the last few seasons. He said: “Given the last year and a half, Chiesa is not a player who has shown himself to be worthy of Juventus and the club will seriously evaluate the offers they deem most appropriate for him. And then he doesn’t seem to be particularly appreciated by Thiago Motta, so reading between the lines he seems to me to be a player who is more than expendable.” ............
