Chiesa pushing for Juventus return but it hinges on Salah’s decision Juventus are Federico Chiesa are keen to reunite with one another this January, but Liverpool star Mohamed Salah might have the final say on the matter. The Italian international was pushed out of Turin in the summer of 2024 by Thiago Motta, who expelled him from his squad, and Cristiano Giuntoli, who couldn’t find an agreement on a contract renewal with his agents. ............ In recent days, Juventus made concrete steps on this front, opening a dialogue with Liverpool after receiving the green light from Chiesa. The player is pushing for a return to Turin, while the Reds remain reluctant. The reigning Premier League champions aren’t against Chiesa’s departure. After all, he isn’t considered a key player in Arne Slot’s plans. However, they’re adopting a cautious approach, as they don’t want to be caught short-handed in attack. Liverpool are already without the injured Alexander Isak, while Salah’s fate remains uncertain. ............ If Salah ends up leaving Anfield, the English giants could well block Chiesa’s transfer to maintain some attacking depth. But in the meantime, negotiations between Juventus and Liverpool continue as they try to find an agreement for a transfer that will likely be delayed until the final stages of January. ............ .

Spalletti explains decision to start David against Sassuolo after penalty miss Jonathan David missed a penalty against Lecce in a match that ended in a 1 1 draw, and that miss ultimately proved costly for Juventus. The striker has not enjoyed the smoothest start to life in Turin, and supporters were clearly frustrated that he failed to convert a spot kick that was entrusted to him by his teammates. Given the number of players in the squad capable of taking penalties, David’s miss attracted criticism. ............ Despite the disappointment against Lecce, Luciano Spalletti made the decision to start David again in the next match. The call was seen as a gamble, but one rooted in trust rather than form alone. Spalletti believed the striker would respond positively to the setback rather than shrink from responsibility. That faith was rewarded emphatically. David delivered an excellent performance against Sassuolo, scoring a goal and providing an assist to play a decisive role in the victory. His contribution earned him the Man of the Match award and marked one of his most complete displays since joining the club. ............ After the match, Spalletti was asked why he chose to start David again so soon after the missed penalty. The Juventus manager explained his thinking. He said, “It was easy. He’s a good, kind, gentle guy, but then when all this stuff hits you, you react a little, so I was playing on what his reaction would be.” Spalletti’s comments underline a belief in character as much as ability. David now appears to be finding form at an important stage of the season, and his response to adversity may prove crucial to his long-term success at the club. ............ .

Fulvio Collovati says Juventus showed they are developing into a Spalletti team Luciano Spalletti has been Juventus’ manager for just over two months, yet he already has the team playing clearly in line with his ideas. Before he arrived in Turin, two managers struggled to restore consistency quickly, and many felt that meaningful change would inevitably require time and patience. ............ Juventus is now focused on ensuring that the squad remains physically and mentally sharp to sustain their recent performances until the end of the season. The players appear more confident in possession and more assured in their roles, which has translated into improved control during matches. That progress was evident in their recent game against Sassuolo. Juventus dominated proceedings, managed the tempo effectively, and demonstrated that they are capable of beating any opponent when they impose their game plan. The men in black and white secured an impressive victory, reinforcing belief in the direction the team is heading. ............ Former defender Fulvio Collovati was particularly encouraged by what he saw in that performance. He offered a detailed assessment of how Juventus are evolving under Spalletti. He said, “What we saw against Sassuolo, even if we had already glimpsed something of it in the first half against Lecce, is the most Spalletti-esque Juve we could see, a Juve that plays vertically, keeps possession, plays vertically, has a very clear identity, a Juve that has personality, even with players who are perhaps less credible, but have a lot of personality, and above all they play build-up play and play in depth, because they create a lot, because it’s true that they scored three goals, but they also had three or four other chances.” .

Allegri insists that Juventus can still win the Scudetto Max Allegri has refused to rule Juventus out of the Scudetto race this season, insisting the Bianconeri still have what it takes to compete now that Luciano Spalletti is in charge. Juventus appointed Spalletti after dismissing Igor Tudor, and the change has brought renewed stability and confidence to the squad. Despite some inconsistent results, Juventus remain close to the top of the league standings. Their stated objective may currently be a top-four finish, but there is a growing belief that the quality within the squad is sufficient to achieve far more. ............ Spalletti’s arrival has clearly had a positive impact on performances, with the team looking more assured and balanced in recent matches. Juventus have shown improved organisation and belief, which has kept them within touching distance of the leading sides. This has fuelled optimism that they could still mount a serious title push if results continue to improve. ............ Allegri, who is now working hard to win the title for AC Milan and prove Juventus wrong for sacking him, also stressed the importance of realism. He said, “It’s a question of numbers: Scudetto odds between 86 and 88. Juve can get 50 points because they’re a strong team, Spalletti’s arrival has improved their performances. Then we have to focus on ourselves. Yesterday’s results confirm that breaking into the top four will be difficult. Yesterday’s results show that it’s complicated: we have to keep our feet on the ground, be very balanced, and approach matches with great seriousness, like the last two. Then the games start 0-0, it’s not like we have any advantage because we’re Milan.” ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/allegri-insists-that-juventus-can-still-win-the-scudetto/

Le Pagelle: Sassuolo vs. Juventus A lot can change in three days. Take Jonathan David, for example. Pilloried after his ugly penalty miss over the weekend as Juventus spurned chance after chance and dropped points to a Lecce side they had thoroughly outplayed, on Tuesday he showed everyone his strength of character by stepping up and playing his best game in a Juventus shirt. His excellent showing, capped off by an assist and a goal within two minutes of each other in the second half, ensured that Juventus’ Tuesday trip to Sassuolo didn’t result in the same slip-up as it did against the Salentini. ............ MICHELE DI GREGORIO - 6. ............ PIERRE KALULU - 7. Continued to play excellent football, pushing forward to create overloads on his side and providing some quality service. He had a key pass and was responsible for the own goal that opened the scoring early. Also led or co-led the team in all major defensive stats (three tackles, two interceptions, two clearances). BREMER - 6.5. Completely smothered Andrea Pinamonti and was a big part of Juve’s efforts to seal Sassuolo in their own half. TEUN KOOPMEINERS - 6. ............ WESTON McKENNIE - 6.5. ............ MANUEL LOCATELLI - 6.5. Led the team with 126 touches and completed 92.9 percent of his passes, mostly to keep the ball moving on the attack and feed guys like David, who did the final distribution further up the field. KHÉPHREN THURAM - 6.5. ............ ANDREA CAMBIASO - 6. ............ FABIO MIRETTI - 7. Finished really well on the goal, and had a pair of tackles up front as well as Juve pressed and forced Sassuolo into mistakes. Did well to move into the space vacated when David dropped deep. KENAN YILDIZ - 6.5. Hit the target with five shots out of six, and made Arijanet Muric work hard on a few of them. Had to cede the creative responsibilities a bit because he was constantly double-teamed when the ball came to him. JONATHAN DAVID - 7.5. Made six key passes, often dropping deeper to feed Yildiz or Miretti, and pressed incredibly well. His work rate was tremendous, constantly forcing mistakes like the one by Jay Idzes that gifted him his goal. A couple of those key passes were neat, no-look flicks without needing any other touches. Could this be a turning point for him? Obviously the answer will come in his next matches, but to have the mental fortitude to come up with this performance after the fusillade of criticism he endured over the weekend is a great sign. SUBS LOÏS OPENDA - 5. ............ JOÃO MÁRIO - 6. ............ JUAN CABAL - NR. ............ VASILIJE ADZIC - NR. ............ EDON ZHEGROVA - NR. ............ MANAGER ANALYSIS Injuries forced Luciano Spalletti back into a 3-4-2-1 after a successful (in terms of the flow of the game, if not the result) test of a 4-2-3-1 against Lecce. What didn’t change was the team’s attitude, which is a testament to how Spalletti has this team working mentally. A result like Saturday’s could’ve seen Juventus come in with a serious lack of energy, especially at the Mapei Stadium, a bogey ground where they hadn’t won since 2022. But after a brief moment at the beginning of the game, they looked like the same guys who blitzed Lecce for 90 minutes. Just like the weekend, Juve are playing quicker passes and look far more willing to make a riskier pass into a dangerous area as opposed to simply moving the ball around laterally. Spalletti has improved this team’s mindset and tactical setup in a relatively short amount of time, and as we head into the ritorna the team looks better positioned to battle near the top of the table than they did when Spalletti took over. LOOKING AHEAD Juve head back home to kick off the ritorna with a Monday home game against Cremonese, who they beat 2-1 in November. Then They take a trip to Cagliari before Champions League play resumes with a critical home match against Benfica. .

McKennie’s father labels Juventus exit rumours as clickbait Weston McKennie’s father hints that his son won’t necessarily leave Juventus at the end of his contract in June: ‘Stop with this clickbait BS!’ ............ The American midfielder’s contract expires at the end of the season, and according to Sky Sport Italia, the Bianconeri are unwilling to offer him a new deal. Previous reports suggested that the two parties were unable to reach an agreement due to agent fees, but the player’s representative has already denied this. Now, the midfielder’s father has also denied that McKennie’s Juventus exit in the summer has already been decided. ............ McKennie has become a regular Juventus starter under Luciano Spalletti, scoring three goals and providing three assists in 14 appearances under the Italian tactician. ............ .

Jonathan David is happier that Juventus won than his goal Jonathan David delivered an impressive performance as Juventus beat Sassuolo last night, a result that will have felt particularly satisfying following his missed penalty against Lecce. The striker appeared confident and composed, showing signs that he is settling into his role within the squad at a crucial point in the season. The Canadian forward is beginning to build momentum after enjoying a sustained run of form under Luciano Spalletti. ............ At the beginning of the season, David found opportunities limited. When he did feature, the team struggled to perform at its usual level, and his own contributions in front of goal were limited. Adjusting to life in Italy proved challenging, and these early difficulties led Juventus to continue relying heavily on Vlahovic, the player David had effectively been signed to replace. ............ In recent weeks, David has repaid the faith shown in him by his manager with increasingly assured performances. His movement, link-up play, and growing composure have added a different dimension to Juventus’ attack. Against Sassuolo, his contribution was not only measured in goals but also in his overall influence on the match. Speaking after the game, David underlined his priorities by saying, “Yes, everything’s fine. I had to score that goal. I’m happy, but the important thing is that we got back to winning ways straight away.” ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/jonathan-david-is-happier-that-juventus-won-than-his-goal/

How close is Juventus to give McKennie a new contract? Weston McKennie has long been one of the standout performers in the Juventus squad and continues to deliver strong performances under Luciano Spalletti. His versatility and reliability have made him a valuable asset, particularly for a team that often relies on players capable of adapting to different tactical demands. Wherever the American midfielder is deployed, he consistently performs to a high standard. ............ However, Juventus are also aware of the wider market interest in the midfielder. Given his consistent performances, McKennie is likely to attract attention from numerous clubs. Losing such an important player on a free transfer would represent a significant setback, and the club are determined to avoid that scenario if possible. ............ While Juventus are eager to retain McKennie, negotiations over his future appear to be complicated. Fans are increasingly anxious for clarity, knowing that this could be his final season at the club if an agreement is not reached. The uncertainty has added pressure on the club to resolve the situation in a way that protects its long-term interests. McKennie currently seems more likely to leave than stay, as the American is seeking higher wages than Juventus is prepared to offer. This difference in expectations has placed his future in doubt, despite his importance to the team. ............ .

“Perfect” Giancarlo Marocchi reacts to Juventus win against Sassuolo Juventus beat Sassuolo 3-0 last night to return to winning ways following their draw against Lecce in the first match of 2026. In recent weeks, Juve have shown clear improvement, which made the failure to secure victory against Lecce a surprise to many observers. This fixture, therefore, represented an important opportunity to correct that setback and quickly regain momentum. The men in black and white are fully aware of the importance of maintaining consistent results, particularly when facing opponents outside the league’s traditional elite. ............ From the opening minutes, Juventus approached the match with authority and intensity. Their structure without the ball and fluid movement in attack prevented Sassuolo from settling into its usual rhythm. By closing down passing lanes and pressing high, Juve ensured that Sassuolo were unable to create meaningful chances, while also allowing their own attacking players to operate with confidence. ............ The performance drew praise from former player Giancarlo Marocchi, who assessed the display. He said, “Juventus better? Yes, because Sassuolo can lose, but they can’t let themselves be dominated like that, because usually they’re all compact at the back and try to do something up front. Instead, Juventus were perfect in the first half, even in terms of pace. In the second half, despite playing a bit slower, they always controlled the game. It’s starting to be a long run, because even in the draw against Lecce, they should have won because of created chances. Before that, they beat Bologna and Roma.” ............ .

Sassuolo 0 - Juventus 3: Initial reaction and random observations Juventus may have taken a 1-0 lead into the half against Sassuolo on Tuesday night, but it was certainly looking like one of those cases in which you were just left wanting a little more. You wanted another goal, not to be in a situation where one mistake — a lot like we saw against Lecce just three days ago — was suddenly changing the scope of the game no matter how much Juve had dominated the opening half. Less than 20 minutes into the second half, all of that changed. And changed quickly, too. All within less than two minutes, Jonathan David sett up Fabio Miretti’s first goal of the season and then the Canadian striker jumped on a wayward pass and converted what proved to be the final piece of Juventus’ 3-0 win over Sassuolo at the Mapei Stadium. It was Juventus’ first win over Sassuolo on their home field since 2022, putting to bed at least some of the boogeyman-like feeling that comes with heading to this part of Emilia-Romagna. But after a dominant yet completely frustrating 1-1 draw with Lecce on Saturday, Juventus responded with a strong showing against a Sassuolo side that has already taken points off clubs like AC Milan and Bologna so far this season. ............ With Roma and Como winning prior to Juventus taking the field on Tuesday night, it was crucial for the Bianconeri to keep things where they were entering the final game of the andata. That’s exactly what happened, and because of it Juve will now have nearly a week off to rest up and face Cremonese with full knowledge that they are in fourth place (albeit on goal differential) entering the second half of the season. That’s a better kind of situation in which Luciano Spalletti arrived around 2 1/2 months ago. It’s far from where a lot of us probably still want them to be, but Juventus are showing signs of turning things around slowly but surely — even if it comes with a result like we saw just three days ago. But when it comes to what Juventus did Tuesday night, it was a lot of the same kind of statistical domination that we saw against Lecce. Juventus barely allowed Sassuolo to have much of anything going forward. The Juventus defense limited Sassuolo to just three shots in each half, with most of those not being on frame until the final minutes of the game when things were pretty much sealed. ............ Same goes for the fact that somebody like David, who was one of the biggest goats and rip to shreds in the Italian media following the draw with Lecce, rebounded in about as strong of a way as he possibly could have. It was arguably one of his all-around best games, if not the best since coming to Juventus. He needed it. He needed it badly considering what this season has been like for him and the kind of game he just had. The whole squad needed it, too, because they know how important David could be for this team going forward if he plays like that. They celebrated with him like they are very well aware of that fact. Even Spalletti got in on the celebrations after David’s goal made it 3-0. Is that a sign that things are good? I would like to believe so — especially when you consider just how things were feeling surrounding David just a few days ago. ............ RANDOM THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS Three points and a clean sheet. Those are always words I can support around here. A Juventus team that has struggled to consistently score goals all season just handed Sassuolo their worst loss of the season. ............ Seeing this team celebrate around Jonathan David in the way that they did was refreshing. I mean, when is the last time you’ve seen somebody like Spalletti sprint down the sideline all the way to the corner flag just to celebrate a goal with his players? It’s probably been a good amount of time. You know David needed that kind of game in the worst possible way. It wasn’t just the goal and the assist to Miretti, either. David was doing a little bit of everything to help Juventus put Sassuolo on the back foot. The man’s defensive contributions were pretty impressive, too. This was the kind of game in which we envisioned from David when he first arrived. Hopefully this ends up being a potential sign of things to come rather than a one-off performance when he returns to his struggles next time out. Six different Juventus players, including David, had two tackles against Sassuolo. Who led Juventus in tackles? Oh just the guy who has played every minute of every game this season, Pierre Kalulu. That guy just continues to be steady as they come. ............ Miretti had a good game. Seeing him take to this advanced role under Spalletti has been a positive development knowing just how much Juve need somebody other than Yildiz to be threat in the final third. Who led Juventus in key passes? Jonathan David. Just how many key passes did David finish with? That would be six. SIX KEY PASSES! ............ Personally, I would like Juventus to win more games by a 3-0 scoreline. That sure would do a lot more for my overall stress level when it comes to this team. Good win. Let’s just leave it at that. Personally, that’s a good development after we saw this team do what it did over the weekend against a team hovering around the relegation zone.

Grosso: ‘Juventus deserve credit’ for crushing Sassuolo Fabio Grosso admits ‘Juventus deserve credit’ for dominating the performance against his Sassuolo, but it’s ‘part of the growth process’ for a newly-promoted team. ............ They were unlucky on the opening goal, as Tarek Muharemovic’s deflection took the Pierre Kalulu cross past Arijanet Muric, who it seems Juventus knew would stray off his line and leave the net vulnerable. However, Juve dominated throughout with numerous chances, making it stick in the second half with Fabio Miretti and Jonathan David pouncing on defensive errors. ............ “We had prepared it in a different way to how we actually played, but Juventus deserve credit for that,” Grosso said. “We emerge defeated, but it is part of the growth process, we will recharge our batteries and learn from this. ............ Juve deserve credit for taking control, as in these games you need to raise your level and hope the opponents are not at 100 per cent.” ............ .

Spalletti: ‘David felt team protect him, but Juventus still at 80 per cent’ Luciano Spalletti believes Jonathan David ‘sensed’ the Juventus squad protecting him after the ‘insults’ over his missed penalty, but the coach is still not satisfied with a 3-0 win over Sassuolo. ............ Notably, the entire squad ran over to celebrate with David, including Spalletti and everyone who was on the bench, despite the rumours he hadn’t bonded with his teammates. “Everyone had taken a firm stance, because it’s different when you are inside a situation, so when you receive all those insults and comments, I would’ve been surprised if the team hadn’t acted as a shield to protect him,” Spalletti said. “He sensed that during the last few days, and put in a great performance tonight. Seeing as he scored a goal too, that just confirmed how many friends he has in the locker room.” ............ It was a dominant overall performance from the Bianconeri, who kept Sassuolo pinned back into their own half. “The team worked well when Sassuolo tried to build out from the back, we prevented them ever having superiority in midfield, though of course this means running some risks when defending. We have some very strong defenders and can afford that, but what made the difference was dominating the game, so when Sassuolo did attack, they were tired and had been chasing us around, so weren’t that effective. “At times we played without a centre-forward, as David would drop further back and create the space for Miretti to run into, so they did that very well.” ............ “The last two performances have been great, but we still need to understand certain things, and do it as quickly as possible, because there are times when our attitude is no better than the bare minimum,” insisted Spalletti. “We tend to only show 80 per cent of our capabilities and no more, we don’t go determined enough into the challenges, we had three or four corners where we didn’t even manage to get it into the box. When you are away from home, you can’t be so wasteful, as we have players who are so good in the air and aren’t getting the service on set plays.” ............ .

David: ‘What hurt me the most, but I appreciate Juventus celebration’ Jonathan David reveals what ‘hurt me the most’ after criticism of the missed penalty, as he ‘appreciates’ the Juventus celebrations this evening after a goal against Sassuolo. The Bianconeri needed a boost after their disappointing weekend 1-1 draw with Lecce, where Jonathan David’s weak attempted Panenka penalty was saved. ............ “I think it’s a good goal, it comes at the right time for myself and the team,” David sayd. “At the end of the day, the most important thing is that we get back on the winning track.” When David scored, the entire squad ran over to celebrate the end of his 16-match Serie A goal drought, including coach Luciano Spalletti and the players who were on the bench. “Yeah, I saw him there. It’s a nice touch, everyone here is so supportive of me and the team, so it’s a great omen that everyone can celebrate together. I really appreciate this,” smiled the Canadian. ............ “What hurt me the most after the missed penalty was that it felt like a loss, even though we drew. That’s what hurt me the most, as winning is the most important thing. After that, I know the games come fast, so I try to pass to the next game and focus on that. “When I take penalties, I try to change and keep the goalkeeper guessing. I didn’t hit this one the way I wanted, and that’s why it didn’t go in.” ............ . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/david-what-hurt-most-but-i-appreciate-juventus/

Player ratings: Sassuolo 0-3 Juventus: David redemption, defensive errors Jonathan David was awarded the player of the match award after providing an assist and a goal in just over a minute as Juventus picked up a 3-0 victory on the road against Sassuolo in Serie A on Tuesday night. ............ Sassuolo: Muric 6; Walukiewicz 5 (Odentahl n/a), Idzes 4, Muharemovic 4, Doig 5; Thorstvedt 6 (Fadera 5.5), Matic 6 (Lipani 6), Kone 5.5; Iannoni 5 (Vranckx 6), Pinamonti 5, Lauriente 5 (Pierini 6).

Juventus: Di Gregorio 6; Kalulu 7, Bremer 6, Koopmeiners 6; McKennie 6.5 (J.Mario 6), Locatelli 6, Thuram 6, Cambiaso 6 (Cabal n/a); Miretti 7 (Zhegrova n/a), Yildiz 7 (Adzic n/a); David 7.5 (Openda 6). Best Juventus player: Jonathan David 7.5 – What a brilliant way to respond after a difficult weekend for the Canada international. He earned his fair share of criticism after a particularly poor display against Lecce last time out, but bounced back with an assist and then a goal for himself within the space of two minutes in the second half, which didn’t just change the game, but ended it. A big breakthrough for David, who had not scored in Serie A since the opening weekend of the 2025-26 season. Coach: Luciano Spalletti – Juventus enjoyed the lion’s share of possession and looked threatening each time they ventured forwards in the first half. They were rewarded with a stroke of luck 17 minutes in, but it had felt like that goal was coming. It was a similar situation in the second half as well before it went 2-0 and then 3-0 in quick succession. Spalletti held his nerve to keep David on as well – his assistant had suggested subbing him off for Openda a few moments before the Canadian’s assist and goal. .

Juventus thrash Sassuolo to earn first win of 2026 Juventus secured their first win of 2026 with a convincing 3–0 victory over Sassuolo, delivering a performance that underlined their quality. The Bianconeri were aware they faced a difficult task, given Sassuolo’s strong home record against them, and understood that a focused and authoritative display would be required to return to winning ways. Coming off a disappointing draw against Lecce, a match many expected Juventus to win, the emphasis was firmly on making amends. From the opening stages, Juventus played with intensity and purpose. ............ Juventus’ pressure was eventually rewarded when Tarik Muharemovic put the ball into his own net, handing the visitors the opening goal. The lead was deserved, as Juventus had dictated the tempo and forced Sassuolo into mistakes. They continued to press in search of a second goal, although the hosts responded by tightening their defensive shape to avoid further damage before the break. ............ Sassuolo emerged after the interval with renewed intent, sensing an opportunity to get back into the contest. However, Juventus remained composed and quickly reasserted its dominance. Their second goal arrived through Fabio Miretti, who finished well after being set up by Jonathan David. Momentum firmly swung in Juventus’ favour, and just a minute later, David added his name to the scoresheet to make it 3–0. That goal effectively ended the contest, allowing the Bianconeri to see out the remainder of the match with confidence and control. ............ .

Serie A | Sassuolo 0-3 Juventus: David breaks drought in style Jonathan David made up for last week’s error with a goal and assist as Juventus swept Sassuolo aside, plus Fabio Miretti and a Tarik Muharemovic own goal. The Bianconeri caught Roma in fourth place at the weekend, despite a disappointing 1-1 draw with Lecce. Jonathan David missed a dire penalty in that game, but kept his spot. ............ Kenan Yildiz robbed Sebastian Walukiewicz to really trouble Arijanet Muric with a powerful strike at the near post, Andrea Cambiaso firing the rebound onto the side-netting, then Khephren Thuram also tested the goalkeeper soon after. Juventus took the lead with a bit of luck, as Muric was off his line and unable to scramble back when Tarik Muharemovic deflected the Pierre Kalulu cross from the right into his own net. ............ Muric denied Thuram at the near stick after a quick passing move involving David and Cambiaso, then Fabio Miretti ballooned over off balance from 12 yards on a David roll across. Juventus finally made their dominance count when a long Michele Di Gregorio ball was knocked down and sent Miretti through, out-running two defenders to fire past the on-rushing Muric. ............
