Juventus might have to help Turkish club to sign Dusan Vlahovic In recent weeks, several clubs have been linked with a move for Dusan Vlahovic, as Juventus reportedly consider parting ways with the striker during the upcoming summer transfer window. Although Vlahovic remains a player the Bianconeri would ideally like to keep beyond the current campaign, his contractual situation and financial demands have introduced complications that may force the club to reconsider. Vlahovic’s current deal runs until 2026, and Juventus are yet to reach an agreement with the Serbian forward over a pay cut to facilitate a contract extension. ............ While the club are hoping to attract interest from top sides across Europe, Vlahovic’s recent lack of goals has limited his appeal among elite teams. Despite his proven quality, a dip in form has left many hesitant to make a significant financial commitment. One club that has now emerged with a serious interest in securing his services is Fenerbahce, with José Mourinho reportedly keen to work with him. ............ But any potential deal with the Turkish side would require significant compromises. Juventus would need to lower their asking price, which currently stands at around €40 million, and may also be required to contribute to Vlahovic’s substantial wages, which amount to €12 million per season. These financial hurdles present a challenge, especially as Fenerbahce are unlikely to meet either demand in full. ............ .

Preview: Bologna vs. Juventus - prediction, team news, lineups Both battling for a precious top-four finish, Serie A rivals Bologna and Juventus will go head-to-head at Stadio Dall'Ara on Sunday evening. Should the Rossoblu win, they would overtake Juve in the table with just three games to go, overturning a slim one-point deficit before kickoff. Match preview With only four rounds left, the five teams chasing perhaps just a single Champions League spot were left within a three-point radius last week, when Juventus saw off rock-bottom Monza to move fourth. Although Kenan Yildiz was dismissed for violent conduct late in the first half, a Juve side previously beaten by Parma already led through goals from Nico Gonzalez and Randal Kolo Muani, and they ultimately hung on to claim maximum points. Since returning to Turin, interim coach Igor Tudor has overseen three wins, one loss and one draw, keeping the Bianconeri just in front of both Rome clubs, Fiorentina and this week's hosts, Bologna. Not only do Juventus require Champions League football for reasons of prestige, but financial meltdown may await if they fail to make Italy's final top four, so they cannot afford to slip up at the Dall'Ara. Now would be a perfect moment to post back-to-back wins for the first time since March, but Juve have only collected one point from their last three away games. At least history will be firmly on their side, as they are unbeaten in some 25 Serie A matches against Bologna, winning 17 times along the way - and that streak dates back to February 2011. In fact, Bologna's last top-flight home win over Juventus was way back in 1998, having drawn seven and lost 14 meetings since. ............ Team News Leading a long list of absentees for Sunday's high-stakes contest, Juventus star Kenan Yildiz has been handed a two-match ban after his red card against Monza, so fit-again Francisco Conceicao could be drafted in. Amid a defensive crisis, Pierre Kalulu and Renato Veiga are Igor Tudor's only options at centre-back, as Lloyd Kelly and Federico Gatti have recently joined ACL victim Bremer on the sidelines. So, captain Manuel Locatelli or the versatile Andrea Cambiaso could shift into Juve's back three this weekend - if Italian media reports are to be believed, the latter could be nearing the end of his time in Turin. Elsewhere, top scorer Dusan Vlahovic has returned to training and could be named on the bench; Teun Koopmeiners is still struggling with an Achilles problem and may miss out. ............ Bologna possible starting lineup: Skorupski; Calabria, Beukema, Lucumi, Miranda; Freuler, Aebischer; Orsolini, Odgaard, Cambiaghi; Dallinga Juventus possible starting lineup: Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Veiga, Cambiaso; McKennie, Locatelli, Thuram, Weah; Gonzalez, Conceicao; Kolo Muani We say: Bologna 1-0 Juventus With a mere six league wins away from home this season, Juventus have not travelled well, so an injury-hit squad could suffer defeat at Dall'Ara. For their part, Bologna are still buoyant, and they have little to lose but everything to gain in an incredibly close top-four race. .

Minotti says whoever wins the Bologna-Juventus game decides top four Juventus are currently locked in a closely contested battle with Lazio, Bologna and Fiorentina for fourth place in the Serie A standings, the final Champions League qualification spot still available this season. With Inter Milan, Napoli and Atalanta having all but secured the top three positions, the Bianconeri’s best possible finish is now limited to fourth. ............ In the closing stages of the season, Juventus are set to face their direct rivals in critical head-to-head fixtures, including their next match against Bologna. The Red and Blue have been impressive this season and are pushing to secure Champions League qualification for a second consecutive year, having competed in the tournament this term. ............ Both teams understand the significance of the upcoming fixture, which could prove decisive in shaping the final standings. Lorenzo Minotti has suggested that the outcome of the Bologna versus Juventus clash may well determine the favourite to clinch fourth place. He stated, “Bologna-Juve decisive? Yes or almost. Whoever wins will be the favourite for the Champions League; a draw would instead make both teams lose ground. In that case, whoever wins between Roma and Fiorentina will be in the lead”. ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/pundit-says-whoever-wins-the-bologna-juventus-game-decides-top-four/

Secondo l'articolo (in inglese) che allego, Gatti avrebbe rinnovato il suo contratto fino al 2030 con l'opzione di un altro anno. Guadagnerá 2,5 milioni a stagione. C'erano diverse squadre della Premier League su di lui.

Maifredi admits Juventus should probably have sacked Motta earlier Juventus dismissed Thiago Motta during the March international break following consecutive defeats that left the club questioning his suitability to lead them forward. Having taken charge at the beginning of the season, Motta struggled to deliver consistent results, prompting the Bianconeri hierarchy to make a managerial change in a bid to salvage their campaign. The club remains determined to finish the season strongly, with Champions League qualification identified as the minimum acceptable target. In response to the team’s downturn in form, Juventus appointed Igor Tudor to oversee the final stretch of the campaign. With only a few matches remaining, Tudor has been tasked with steadying the ship and securing a top-four finish. ............ Former Juventus manager Gigi Maifredi has weighed in on the matter, offering a nuanced perspective while hinting that the timing of the decision may have been less than ideal. Maifredi stated: “I don’t know if he should have been sacked earlier: I can’t allow myself to do so. You judge a car by driving it, not by sitting in the back seat. So I can’t judge such a delicate matter. You had to be driving to understand and feel the engine, but if I were to have a barroom conversation, well, I’d say yes, maybe it should have been done earlier.” ............ If the club had already been considering a managerial change, acting sooner could have afforded his successor more time to implement tactical adjustments and rebuild confidence. Juventus will now hope that Tudor can bring stability and guide them over the line in what has been a challenging season. .

Tudor could deploy Andrea Cambiaso in a new role in Bologna vs Juventus clash Juventus wingback Andrea Cambiaso could be tested in unfamiliar territory in the major showdown against Bologna. The two rivals will lock horns in a crucial contest in the razor-tight race for Champions League spots. The Bianconeri are 4th in the table, while the Rossoblu are only one point adrift in fifth place. However, the race also includes Roma, Fiorentina and Lazio, while 3rd-place Atalanta have yet to book their spot. ............ But if the situation upfront is causing concerns for the Croatian, the defensive line is arguably a significantly bigger headache. With Lloyd Kelly joining Federico Gatti, Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal on the sidelines, Tudor only has two centre-backs left at his disposal (Kalulu and Veiga), so the identity of the third defender remains shrouded in mystery. So Cambiaso could be converted into a central defender, probably for the first time in his career. ............ Nevertheless, the source notes that Nicolo Savona also has a good chance of featuring at the back. The 22-year-old’s physical attributes could render him a more natural fit for the centre-back role. .

Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce Plot €40m Swoop for Juventus Striker Dusan Vlahovic Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic has emerged as a key summer target for Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce, with Turkish reports claiming a €40 million offer is in the works. The Serbian forward is entering a crucial phase of his contract, and the Bianconeri are said to be open to offers. ............ The 25-year-old has endured a mixed season in Turin, scoring 9 goals in 26 Serie A matches. With his contract set to expire in 2026, Juventus could look to sell this summer to avoid a decline in market value. ............ While Fenerbahce are preparing a €40 million bid, reports indicate Juventus will demand closer to €50 million for the Serbia international. Vlahovic joined Juve from Fiorentina in 2022 for around €80m including bonuses, but hasn’t consistently hit the heights expected. ............ Vlahovic is also on the radar of Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United, who both need attacking reinforcements. ............ .

Ci potrebbe essere invece il colpo di scena. Il Napoli vince lo scudetto che poi verrá regalato ai soliti noti per la faccenda delle plusvalenze. La storia si ripete e sempre con gli stessi protagonisti vincenti e fraudolenti.

38 Io sono infatti persuaso che né morte né vita, né angeli né principati, né presente né avvenire, 39 né potenze, né altezza né profondità, né alcun'altra creatura potrà mai separarci dall'amore di Dio, in Cristo Gesù, nostro Signore. (Lettera ai Romani 8:38-39)

“Done deal” – Gatti agrees new contract, rejects Forest & West Ham Juventus defender Federico Gatti has reportedly agreed to extend his contract until 2030 with an option for another year. ............ The centre-back has now cemented himself as a stalwart at the back, and even started the campaign as the stand-in captain. The Italian has been tipped to sign a new deal for quite some time now, but when his relationship with Thiago Motta deteriorated, the negotiations between the two parties stalled. Nevertheless, Gatti’s status as a club pillar was confirmed by Igor Tudor, and he’s expected to reclaim his position as a regular starter once he recovers from his injury. ............ The two parties have reached an agreement to extend their collaboration from 2028 to 2030, with an option for another year. The defender has also been rewarded with a pay rise, so he’s now expected to earn 2.5 million euros per year as net wages. ............ Gatti has also rejected several approaches from the Premier League, namely from Everton, Nottingham Forest and West Ham United, who were all hoping to seize the opportunity to lure him to the English shores. The Italy international has also been linked with a move to Newcastle United in recent weeks. Nevertheless, he had reiterated his desire to stay in his hometown of Turin, insisting he has no reason to leave. ............ .

Two Juventus players vying to replace Koopmeiners against Bologna Juventus midfielder Teun Koopmeiners might not recover in time for the vital battle against Bologna, so Igor Tudor might have to resort to other options. The Bianconeri are preparing to clash heads against one of their main rivals in the race for 4th place. The two sides will lock horns at the Renato Dall’Ara on Sunday evening. ............ Kenan Yildiz received a two-match ban for deliberately elbowing Alessandro Bianco during the recent win over Monza. Dusan Vlahovic is expected to shake off a slight injury concern to earn a call-up, but he might not be fit enough for a starting berth. As for Teun Koopmeiners, he could miss the contest altogether, as he continues to struggle with an Achilles tendon problem. Therefore, Tudor must also find alternative solutions for the attacking trident. ............ Francisco Conceicao is a natural solution. However, it should be noted that the Portuguese isn’t exactly Tudor’s cup of tea, as evidenced by his recent exclusions. Therefore, the source reveals that Juve’s ultimate utility man, Weston McKennie, could emerge as a solution for the role. The Texan has been recently deployed as a wingback, so if Tudor moves him to a more advanced role, Timothy Weah would likely have to replace his compatriot on the flank. .

Boost for Tudor as Vlahovic pushes for timely return against Bologna Juventus coach Igor Tudor could have Dusan Vlahovic at his disposal once more ahead of Sunday’s big showdown against Bologna. The Bianconeri are currently 4th in the Serie A table, with the Emilians only one point behind them in 5th place. Therefore, next Sunday’s clash at the Renato Dall’Ara will have immense implications on the Champions League race. ............ Sadly for Tudor, he will have to do without Kenan Yildiz who foolishly got himself sent off against Monza for elbowing Alessandro Bianco, leaving the manager with limited options upfront. ............ However, the good news for the Croatian is that Vlahovic has resumed training and is keen to regain his strength in time for Sunday’s big tilt. The Serbian bomber has managed to overcome the slight muscle issue he sustained during last week’s contest in Parma. ............ Nevertheless, even if the big centre-forward were to return to the fold, he might not be fit enough to earn a starting berth. Hence, he’s more likely to start on the bench, with Randal Kolo Muani leading the line once more. The Frenchman put up a good display against Monza, as he finally managed to end his goal drought. ............ .

Sandro Tonali makes Newcastle decision amidst Juventus A report in the British media claims that Juventus target Sandro Tonali has made a decision on his Newcastle United future. ............ The Italian’s exploits this season didn’t go unnoticed in the home country, evoking Juve’s old interest in the player. The Old Lady’s interest in the player dates back to his early career years at Brescia. They tried to sign him in the summer of 2020, but he made a choice of the heart by signing for his beloved Milan. ............ However, the Bianconeri might struggle to lure the Azzurri star to Turin. Tonali has decided to remain at Newcastle and repay the faith of the club, the supporters and Eddie Howe. As the source explains, the midfielder appreciates all the support he received from the Magpies while he was serving his lengthy suspension. The club stood by his side even when his reputation was in tatters. ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/report-sandro-tonali-makes-newcastle-decision-amidst-juventus-interest/

Claudio Marchisio urges Juventus to focus on “winning” and not the game Claudio Marchisio has acknowledged the significance of Juventus potentially missing out on qualification for next season’s Champions League, noting the weight such an outcome would carry for a club of its stature. The Bianconeri are locked in a tense battle to secure a top-four finish in Serie A and face a critical stretch as the campaign draws to a close. With just four matches remaining, Juventus must now navigate a demanding fixture list that includes two crucial clashes against direct rivals also vying for a Champions League place. ............ Marchisio, a former Juventus midfielder and a lifelong supporter of the club, recognises the difficulty of the task but urges the team to remain mentally grounded and focused on the present. ............ Marchisio stated: “Will Juve go? As a big fan, I hope so. We need to think about the present, about winning. Not so much about the game. We’ve also seen the results of the others and we understand how hard it is to reach the objective. Juve has a difficult schedule, but if you wear this shirt you have to somehow win the next matches and get into the Champions League”. ............ .

How Tudor will fix Juventus’ attack in the absence of Yildiz Kenan Yildiz has been handed a suspension that will see him miss Juventus’s upcoming fixtures against Bologna and Lazio, a development that presents a considerable challenge for the Bianconeri. The absence of the young forward is viewed as a setback for manager Igor Tudor, who has consistently relied on the teenager since taking charge of the team. Yildiz has become an important part of Tudor’s tactical approach, often featuring in the starting eleven and contributing significantly to the team’s overall attacking structure. ............ The loss of Yildiz necessitates a reshuffle in the lineup, and this adjustment will serve as a critical test of the manager’s flexibility and squad management. Francisco Conceição is the player Tudor is considering to step into the role vacated by Yildiz. Conceição has found it difficult to break into the side under the current management and has seen limited playing time since Tudor took over. However, this situation could provide him with a rare opportunity to prove his worth and establish himself as a viable option going forward. The report indicates that Tudor plans to use the Portuguese international in midfield, in part due to the continued unavailability of Teun Koopmeiners, who is not expected to recover in time for the clash against Bologna. ............ In the proposed tactical setup, Conceição and Nico Gonzalez are expected to operate behind the central striker, a formation that Tudor believes could yield the necessary results in Yildiz’s absence. ............ .

How Juventus could replace Lloyd Kelly in the team to face Bologna Juventus will be without Lloyd Kelly for their upcoming fixture against Bologna due to injury, a development that poses a significant challenge for manager Igor Tudor. The English defender joined the Bianconeri from Newcastle United during the most recent transfer window and has since established himself as a key figure in the team’s defensive set-up under Tudor’s management. ............ His injury now forces Tudor into a tactical reshuffle, particularly given the manager’s commitment to maintaining a three-man defensive line. One option under consideration is to drop Manuel Locatelli into the back three, using the midfielder as a makeshift centre-back to cover for Kelly. Alternatively, Tudor could turn to Nicolo Savona or Andrea Cambiaso, deploying either player in a deeper defensive role. ............ Tudor has had sufficient time to evaluate his options in training and will be expected to make a carefully considered decision based on form, fitness and tactical suitability. ............ .
