Juventus identify Morten Hjulmand as replacement for Leeds United target Juventus have set their sights on Sporting CP captain Morten Hjulmand who could be the right solution to plug the gap in the middle of the park. The Dermark international has been on a steady rise over the past few years. ............ The defensive midfielder joined Lecce and helped the club earn promotion to Serie A in 2022. He then managed to impress in the Italian top flight, which prompted a transfer to Sporting in the summer of 2023. ............ Juventus have identified Hjulmand as the ideal target to bolster their midfield. After all, the Dane is ready to enter his peak years now that he’s 26, and has also accumulated enough Serie A experience during his time at the Via del Mare. As the source explains, the Sporting star would arrive as a replacement for Douglas Luiz who is expected to leave the club after a single underwhelming campaign in Turin. ............ Luiz has attracted interest from the Premier League, with Leeds United emerging as his staunchest admirers. Juventus will be looking to sell the former Aston Villa star for a figure in the region of €40 million, which also happens to be Sporting’s expected asking price for Hjulmand. .

Liverpool: Diogo, you'll never walk alone

Ricorda la scomparsa del povero Gaetano Scirea. Mi auguro che siano morti sul colpo in seguito all'urto e non arsi vivi. Anche secondo me, é la morte piú tremenda che ci sia.

Not just David – Juventus devise a plan to sign Victor Osimhen Juventus may have secured their first signing of the summer in the shape of Jonathan David, but this won’t rule out a move for Victor Osimhen. ............ As for Randal Kolo Muani, the club would like to keep him, but has yet to strike an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain, as the two parties may have different visions regarding the formula and figures. ............ Nevertheless, Igor Tudor’s squad would still require the addition of another centre-forward, while reports in the Italian media aren’t ruling out Osimhen’s arrival. Juventus are still keeping tabs on their longtime target, despite the departure of the club’s former Football Director, Cristiano Giuntoli. ............ The Nigerian bomber returned from an excellent loan spell at Galatasaray, but Napoli still have no plans to reinstate him. They were hoping to sell him to Al-Hilal who offered lucrative figures, but the player turned down the Saudi option. ............ The lack of suitors could force Napoli to sit on the same table with the Bianconeri, even though Aurelio De Laurentiis would be loath to sell the 26-year-old to one of his main rivals. ............ .

Juventus hold ‘positive’ Sancho talks with Man Utd after failing to keep Conceicao Juventus are making progress on the Jadon Sancho track, but only because they haven’t been able to sign Francisco Conceicao on a permanent basis. The 22-year-old joined the Bianconeri last summer on a dry loan from Porto. Although his campaign was filled with highs and lows, he managed to earn the adoration of the fanbase, and eventually won the support of Igor Tudor who had been sceptical at first. ............ The Serie A giants were initially expected to splash €30 million to trigger the player’s release clause. However, they have been reluctant to do so in recent weeks, instead asking Porto for a discount. Therefore, Juventus have failed to find an agreement to keep Conceicao, which is why they turned their attention to Sancho. The report claims that the Italian club held ‘positive’ talks with the player’s entourage and Manchester United. ............ The Red Devils prefer to sell the player on a permanent transfer, but they would also consider an initial loan with an obligation to buy. But while the Old Lady should be able to find an agreement with their English counterparts over the transfer, negotiating with Sancho and his representatives could be difficult, as the winger will be required to accept a pay cut since Juve aren’t willing to match his hefty wages. It should be noted that recent reports in Italy claimed that the 25-year-old is open to making a financial sacrifice to facilitate his transfer to Turin. ............ .

Three Italian clubs want to sign Juventus teenager Vasilije Adzic Juventus wonderkid Vasilije Adzic might spend the next campaign out on loan, as three Italian clubs are vying for his services. The Bianconeri poached the services of the teenager last summer following his breakthrough at Podgorica. ............ But while the attacking midfielder’s talent is undeniable, it remains unclear if he’ll be able to gain sufficient playing time with Igor Tudor next season. Therefore, Juventus are seriously considering sending Adzic out on loan, and three clubs have already emerged as potential destinations. Palermo are hot on the heels of the talented youngster. The Sicilians are keen to earn their long-awaited promotion to the top flight, so they have turned to Filippo Inzaghi who has developped a knack for guiding Serie B clubs back to Serie A. ............ In addition to the Rosanero, Adzic has two suitors who are already in the top tier in the shape of Sassuolo and Genoa. ............ .

"Non ci sono garanzie" (di vivere fino alla vecchiaia) cantavano i Toto nella canzone "I'll be over you". Certo é che ci sono differenze fra il morire a 80-90 anni e morire giovani e forti. Tutto é vano su questa terra: si fanno progetti a lungo termine ma non sappiamo nemmeno se arriviamo a stasera. Si muore giovani e inaspettatamente com'é il caso del povero Diogo oppure ci si trascina fra dolori e malattie quando sei anziano. Il libro delle Ecclesiaste, chiamato anche Qoelet, nella Bibbia cerca di dare delle spiegazioni alla vanitá della vita ma il peso dell'esistenza terrena resta comunque. Concordo con Don Giovanni, la tristezza ti assale in casi analoghi ma la sofferenza non puó purtroppo sparire dalla faccia della terra. Siamo nati sapendo che un giorno piú o meno lontano dovremo lasciare tutto e non porteremo niente con noi di quello che abbiamo conquistato in vita. É un bene? É un male? É cosí.

Marseille still not prepared to negotiate transfer with Juventus Juventus remain determined to sign Leonardo Balerdi from Olympique Marseille, although the French side is equally firm in their stance that the defender is not for sale. The Bianconeri have maintained interest in the Argentinian for some time and are eager to bring him to Turin, but progress has stalled due to Marseille’s reluctance to enter negotiations. The Ligue 1 club regards Balerdi as one of the most vital players in their squad. ............ Balerdi himself is believed to be open to the move and would reportedly welcome the opportunity to reunite with his former manager Tudor in Turin. His willingness has encouraged Juventus to persist in their pursuit, though their path remains complicated by Marseille’s current position. ............ Marseille have not entertained discussions, reiterating that Balerdi is not on the market. ............ Despite the firm stance from Marseille, there may still be a path forward. The Ligue 1 side could reconsider their position if Juventus submit a bid in excess of 25 million euros. Such an offer might compel Marseille to open a dialogue, though it is not guaranteed that they would accept. ............ .

Juventus set date and contract length for David signing Reports in Italy confirm that Canada international Jonathan David will be in Italy to complete his medical with Juventus by the end of the working week after finally coming to an agreement on personal terms with the Bianconeri. ............ The 25-year-old, who Juventus have been monitoring since 2023, is expected to put pen to paper on a five-year contract running until the summer of 2030, which will earn him €6m per season plus up to €1m-€2m in bonuses per season. ............ While the deal is described as a ‘free transfer’, it is understood that David’s agents and representatives were seeking in excess of €10m in auxiliary fees and signing bonuses.

Here we go! Juventus secures agreement to sign coveted free agent Juventus have reached a verbal agreement to sign Canadian striker Jonathan David as they continue to reshape their attack ahead of the new season. The Bianconeri have concluded several rounds of negotiations with the player’s entourage and are now close to completing and announcing the move. David, who recently became a free agent after deciding not to renew his contract with Lille, has been one of the most consistent forwards in European football over the past few seasons. ............ The decision to pursue David aligns with broader changes expected in the Juventus attack. With Dusan Vlahovic widely tipped for a summer exit and no final agreement yet in place for Randal Kolo Muani, the club are working quickly to secure reinforcements. ............ The signing of David would mark a clear step forward in Juventus’ long-term planning. The Canadian international offers pace, intelligence, and a proven ability to score goals across multiple competitions. His arrival would not only fill a potential gap left by Vlahovic’s departure but could also serve as the foundation of a revamped forward line under Igor Tudor. Despite their ongoing interest in Victor Osimhen, the Bianconeri regard David as a player they could not afford to lose to another club. His form over the last few seasons made him a priority target once he became available. ............ Once finalised, the deal will be seen as a key component of Juventus’ summer activity and a potential turning point in their efforts to construct a dynamic and effective attacking unit. .

Sancho agrees to reduce his salary to join Juventus Juventus have received a significant boost in its pursuit of Jadon Sancho during the current transfer window. The English winger is actively seeking a new club after returning to Manchester United following a loan spell at Chelsea last season. ............ Juventus had previously expressed interest in signing Sancho a year ago, initially considering a loan move. However, at the time, he opted to join Chelsea, where he featured regularly and lifted a European trophy. ............ The major stumbling block for Juventus has long been Sancho’s salary, which is well beyond what the club are prepared to offer. However, in a development that may change the course of negotiations, the player has agreed to reduce his wage demands to facilitate a transfer. This adjustment has encouraged Juventus to accelerate talks, as they believe Sancho possesses the technical quality and experience needed to enhance their attacking options. ............ Sancho’s decision to lower his wage expectations suggests a strong desire to relaunch his career at a club where he will be valued and given the opportunity to contribute meaningfully. Juventus, in turn, view the 25-year-old as a potential key asset who could help bolster their squad in domestic and European competition. ............ .

Man Utd tells Juventus how much they need to pay to sign Sancho Juventus are working to secure the services of Jadon Sancho in the current transfer window as they aim to strengthen their attacking options. The Bianconeri have identified the English winger as a key target and are continuing negotiations in an attempt to finalise a deal. Sancho spent last season on loan at Chelsea from Manchester United and contributed to their successful Europa Conference League campaign. The attacker had also reached the Champions League final in 2024 while on loan at Borussia Dortmund. ............ Manchester United have made it clear that Sancho is no longer part of their long-term plans. The Premier League side has encouraged him to find a new club, creating an opening for Juventus to step in. Sancho had attempted to remain at Chelsea following his loan spell, but talks regarding personal terms ultimately broke down, prompting his return to Manchester. ............ Manchester United have informed Juventus and other interested clubs that Sancho will cost 29 million euros. ............ While the transfer is not yet complete, Juventus are reportedly optimistic about their chances of securing the winger’s signature. ............ .

Contacts between the Serie A giants and Osimhen’s representatives intensified over the weekend. ............

Osimhen has a €75m clause included in his Napoli contract, but it’s not valid for Serie A clubs, which means the Serie A giants must negotiate a transfer fee with their domestic rivals. .

Juventus set to strengthen squad following Club World Cup campaign Following their exit from the Club World Cup, Juventus are turning their attention to the transfer market, aiming to strengthen their squad and end the current season on a high note. With Igor Tudor now confirmed as manager for the next term, the club is in a position to plan decisively for both the immediate and long-term future. The Bianconeri are expected to make strategic moves in the market. ............ The goal is not to completely rebuild the squad but rather to strengthen key areas and ensure that the team is well-equipped to compete effectively under Tudor’s leadership. Juventus are keen to find players who can thrive in the system he intends to implement, and any new arrivals must align with this vision. ............ Damien Comolli addressed the club’s strategy: “I think the first thing we need to do is analyse the team. We have a solid base of excellent players. They need to understand that they can win and they need to learn how to win. In the market we will try to improve.” ............ Juventus are not simply looking to sign players for the sake of it. The club intends to approach the market with a clear plan and a focus on acquiring individuals who will add value to the team in meaningful ways.

Vlahovic likes Bellingham’s social post after Real Madrid win over Juventus Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic caused controversy on social media by liking a Jude Bellingham Instagram post praising the Merengues after their win against the Bianconeri. ............ Vlahovic was an unused substitute at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, where the Merengues emerged victorious thanks to a Gonzalo Garcia goal in the second half.

Juventus are working to bring Kolo Muani back to the Allianz Stadium on loan with an option to buy, which, however, PSG are not currently inclined to accept.

E adatto al gioco di Tudor

Uno dei tanti nomi accostati alla Juve, Morten Hjulmand, centrocampista danese dello Sporting Lisbona. 26 anni, ha giocato anche nel Lecce.

Juventus 0 - Real Madrid 1: Initial reaction and random observations The Spanish giants eliminate Igor Tudor’s squad from the Club World Cup thanks to a dominant second-half showing. There was a point in the first half on Tuesday afternoon when you could see things start to click for Real Madrid. After Juventus gave the Spanish giants a couple of early scares, the later stages of the opening 45 minutes saw Real Madrid start to kick into gear. And it didn’t stop come the second half, either, with Juve having to fight off wave after wave of pressure. ............ Despite Di Gregorio heroics time and time again against Real Madrid, it wasn’t enough to fully keep one of the most talented teams in the world off the scoreboard. There was just one blemish in the 1-0 loss to Real Madrid — and it wasn’t even on Di Gregorio, as one of the most surprising performers thus far at the Club World Cup for Xabi Alonso, 21-year-old striker Gonzalo Garcia, was able to finish a wide-open header that proved to be the difference in Juventus’ 1-0 loss at Hard Rock Stadium. With the loss, it spells the end of Juve’s stay in the United States this summer, with plenty of questions remained to be answered coming out of the Club World Cup and where Tudor takes this team from here. ............ Let’s make no mistake about it, though: Without the effort in goal from Di Gregorio against Real Madrid, the final score would have looked more like what we saw last week against Manchester City. It would have been a blowout or something close to it — something that would have truly been a massive blow knowing what happened less than a week earlier against City. Thankfully, Di Gregorio had what will surely go down as one of the best performances of his career. He made 10 saves — many of them of the high-quality variety, if not world class. Time and time again, Real Madrid launched something at the Juventus goal only for Di Gregorio to fly to his right or dive to his left to stop a shot. ............ Juventus had their chances to strike in the first half — most notably through Randal Kolo Muani and Kenan Yildiz — but couldn’t convert to give them the early lead. It proved costly even though Real Madrid’s goal didn’t come until the 54th minute. You had to figure that Juve’s opportunities would be somewhat limited even with Kolo Muani and Yildiz back in the starting lineup, so taking advantage of those had to be crucial if they wanted to even sniff the Club World Cup quarterfinals. Unfortunately, they didn’t come about. And the more talented team took advantage of that. ............ RANDOM THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS I sure hope Di Gregorio gets as much room as he wants on the flight back to Turin. He deserves to stretch out and rest as much as anybody after that kind of performance. Seriously, though ... some of those saves were just so good. And he nearly got a hand to Garcia’s goal, too. That would have just been the cherry on top if he were somehow able to tip that ball over the bar and keep Real Madrid scoreless. Still, even with that goal, the 9.3 rating on Sofasore that Di Gregorio has received feels completely justified. Dude was far and away the biggest reason why it was only a 1-0 loss. ............ Fede Valverde, what a player. Dean Huijsen, also a pretty good player. Somebody should have picked him up on the cheap when he was a teenager in Spain. Ah well. ............ Considering he had not started a game in nearly two months, I feel safe in saying that was a pretty good showing from Daniele Rugani in the center of Juve’s defense. Hopefully this is just another sign that he can be a useful player off the bench for this team — especially if they’re going to use a back three and only a back three. ............ The biggest thing that turned things for Real Madrid? Putting multiple defenders on Yildiz every chance they got and basically forcing Juventus to try and go through another one of their limited creative outlets. Once that change was made, Juve barely had an answer going forward. Juventus’ first sub of the day was Filip Kostic. Real Madrid’s first sub of the day was Kylian Mbappe. I think that says all you need to say about the gap in quality between the two squads. Still thinking about that missed chance from Kolo Muani. Man of man, you gotta finish those when you get them — especially against an opponent like Real Madrid. ............ Considering this was close but not completely Real Madrid’s starting lineup, I can’t help but wonder how many Juve players that Tudor played on Tuesday actually get into that side. It’s probably Yildiz ... and who else? I really don’t know because Madrid’s squad is just so much better than Juve’s currently is. I sure hope the next game Juventus plays has Bremer in defense. That would be nice. The possession numbers didn’t really change from the first half to the second, but it sure did feel like Real Madrid had so much more of the ball coming out of halftime. I guess that’s what happens when your goalkeeper has to make big save after big save with no end in sight. ............ So that ends Juventus’ stay at the Club World Cup, a tournament in which things have been far from perfect on the whole. We’ll have more to say about it over the next handful of days, but it’s hard to say it was a success when Juve beat the two clubs they should have beaten and then lose to the two clubs they were underdogs against. It’s just ... yeah, hard to say. .
