Juventus player ratings vs Napoli: Locatelli outclasses the reigning champions Juventus enjoyed a magical night at the Allianz Stadium, as they put three past Antonio Conte’s Napoli, who were completely shut down. The Bianconeri opened the scoring through Jonathan David in the first half, before adding two goals in the final 15 minutes courtesy of Kenan Yildiz and Filip Kostic. ............ Juventus XI (3-4-2-1) Michele Di Gregorio – 6 ............ Pierre Kalulu – 6.5 ............ Gleison Bremer – 6.5 The Brazilian took a big risk when he wrapped his arms around Rasmus Hojlund, but it was a superb outing otherwise. Lloyd Kelly – 7 Another fabulous performance from the Englishman, who has become essential for this Juventus side. Made some crucial interventions at the back. Weston McKennie – 6.5 The ultra-versatile midfielder was literally everywhere on the pitch. His touch abandoned him at times, but he can be forgiven, considering the ground he covered. Manuel Locatelli – 8 A midfield masterclass from the Juventus captain, who was well and truly perfect. Produced an outrageous assist for David’s opener with a deft flick, and completely imposed his will in the middle of the park. Never gave Scott McTominay any room to manoeuvre. Khephren Thuram – 7.5 A wonderful performance from the Frenchman in front of his father, Lilian, and brother, Marcus. Stopped McTominay in his tracks on some occasions, and drove the ball forward with vicious runs. He almost scored the opener, but his top-notch curler crashed against the post. Andrea Cambiaso – 5.5 ............ Francisco Conceicao – 6 ............ Kenan Yildiz – 8 Another brilliant display from Juve’s most celebrated star. He could have had two assists in the first half had Thuram and Conceicao scored their chances. But in the end, he got on the scoresheet with a clinical touch. Jonathan David – 7 The Canadian did well to anticipate Locatelli’s pass, hold off Leonardo Spinazzola, and slot the ball past Alex Meret. This is the type of goal that made him so revered in Ligue 1. Substitutes Filip Kostic – 6.5 The Serbian is seldom deployed on the right wing, but his inverted role put him in an inviting shooting position, and he made the most out of it. Juan Cabal – 6 ............ Fabio Miretti – 6.5 ............ Teun Koopmeiners – N/A Federico Gatti – N/A .

Juventus 3-0 Napoli: Bianconeri exact vengeance on Conte’s men At the Allianz Stadium in Turin, Juventus avenged themselves for their recent shortcomings against Napoli by thumping their rivals by three unanswered goals. ............ The Bianconeri were the better side from the get-go, dominating possession while working their way into the final third. The home side were a whisker away from taking the lead through Thuram, who received an inviting ball from Yildiz and sent a vicious curler towards an impossible corner, but it crashed against the woodwork. Nevertheless, it didn’t take Juventus long to break the deadlock. Locatelli stood up early to collect a loose ball, and picked up David with a sensational assist. The Canadian was able to ward off Leonardo Spinazzola and place his shot past Alex Meret. Spalletti’s men almost doubled their lead immediately when Yildiz teed up the unmarked Conceicao. The Portuguese winger beat Meret, but Alessandro Buongiorno pulled off an astonishing goal-line clearance. ............ On the other hand, the Bianconeri patiently awaited their chance to kill off the game, and in the end, it was a mistake from Juan Jesus that gifted them the second goal. The Brazilian played a poor square ball that was collected by Fabio Miretti. The midfielder put Yildiz through on goal, and the latter whipped it past Meret. And yet, the Old Lady wasn’t done just yet. A quick sequence of passes eventually put Filip Kostic in a promising shooting position. The Serbian winger gunned towards the bottom corner and managed to open up a shocking three-goal deficit. ............ Juventus 3-0 Napoli Goals: 22′ David (J), 77′ Yildiz (J), 85′ Kostic (J) .

Chiellini: ‘Juventus negotiations with En-Nesyri are over, we cannot buy him’ Juventus director Giorgio Chiellini confirms Youssef En-Nesyri has rejected the transfer from Fenerbache. ‘We cannot buy him outright, so for us the negotiations are over.’ ............ They had expected to bring En-Nesyri back from Istanbul today ahead of a medical, ready to make the move on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season. Instead, last night director Marco Ottolini flew back to Turin alone amid reports En-Nesyri was unsure about the move. What is the situation? “We went to speak to the player, he expressed a few doubts on the formula of the transfer, so for us right now the negotiations are over. We cannot and do not want to buy him outright. “We’ll see over the next few days if there are any developments or other opportunities, but for us it is over.” ............ .

Uncertain En-Nesyri keeps Juventus waiting over Sevilla interest Sky Sport Italia warn that Juventus don’t have the all-clear yet from Youssef En-Nesyri, because while Fenerbahce agreed terms, he is still tempted by Sevilla. The deal had seemingly been done, with the striker expected to fly out over the weekend to complete his medical. ............ Multiple sources all had the same details, a loan for €3m with option to buy for a further €17m at the end of the season. There were even claims that En-Nesyri could land in Italy this evening, accompanied by director of sport Marco Ottolini, who has been in Istanbul for several days. ............ Turkish sources confirm Ottolini is returning to Italy tonight, without the striker, and that Fenerbahce are irritated by their player’s attitude. The issue is the on-going interest from Sevilla, as this would represent a return to Spain for En-Nesyri after his previous spell there from January 2020 to July 2024. His €19.5m sale to Fenerbahce ended that experience, but he’d be eager to try again. ............ . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/uncertain-en-nesyri-keeps-juventus-waiting/
