How UEFA exclusion changes Juventus’ transfer strategy Following the confirmation of Juventus’ exclusion from European competitions for the 2023-24 season by UEFA on Thursday evening, there could be a need to alter the team’s strategy in the transfer market. Juventus have also been hit with a €10m fine, which could rise to €20m if certain financial fair play requirements aren’t met within the next three years. It is expected that Juventus will also lose out on up to €80m in revenue through their lack of European football next season. Given that Juve also posted significant losses for the last three financial years, largely in part to the results of the Covid-19 pandemic, and now that they have to operate with UEFA’s financial requirements looming over them, the club will face a difficult challenge in raising funds this season. ..... The Old Lady now only have Serie A and the Coppa Italia to contend with and without European football, will play somewhere between two and 12 games fewer than last season. So, not only is there a need to raise funds, but there is also a feeling that a smaller squad would do the trick this season. Calciomercato writes that as a result, more young players, including the likes of Fabio Miretti, Koni De Winter and Andrea Cambiaso, will be allowed to move out on loan compared to previous seasons. Big names who may have previously been considered unsellable, such as Federico Chiesa, Gleison Bremer or Dusan Vlahovic could also now move on if suitable offers arrive before the close of the window. ....

Juventus banned from European football next season Italian football team FC Juventus will to challenge the UEFA's decision to remove the club from European competition next season. The club's president, Gianluca Ferrero, "regrets" the decision and remains "firmly convinced of the legitimacy of our actions", but decided "not to appeal this judgment". The UEFA Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) has found Juventus guilty of breaking Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules, namely in providing fictitious information on the amount of player transfers and underreporting employee spending and salaries. These movements allegedly increased the club's capital by 700m euros. Juventus will have to pay a 10 million euro fine. ......

Urbano Cairo explains Bremer’s development before he moved to Juventus Gleison Bremer made his entry into Italian football back in 2018 when he joined Torino. He remained with Torino until last season when they transferred him to Juventus. ............. Torino’s president, Urbano Cairo, has provided insights into Bremer’s development during his time at the club under the guidance of two different managers. He said: “Bremer, my biggest plus? Maybe yes. He’s a great player, strong, powerful. He grew under Mazzarri, even if, at the beginning, he didn’t play much, but he trained him. Then Juric helped him a lot.” .............

JUVENTUS 2 - 2 MILAN (PEN 4-3)

Three Juventus things learned in friendly win against Milan Juventus emerged victorious after prevailing on penalties over Milan in their first pre-season friendly in the USA. The Soccer Champions Tour match finished 2-2 after 90 minutes as Bianconeri defenders Danilo and replacement Daniele Rugani cancelled out goals from Malick Thiaw and Olivier Giroud. Matias Soule struck the winning spot kick as Juve won 4-3 on penalties at the Dignity Health Sports Park in the city of Carson, Los Angeles County. Juve had been scheduled to face Barcelona in the first game of the Soccer Champions Tour but the Catalan club called the game off due to a bout of viral gastroenteritis in their squad. It was an early morale boost for coach Massimilano Allegri as he fielded a strong starting line-up before making wholesale changes just before the hour mark. ..... Chiesa excels on the wing Italian international Federico Chiesa was deployed alongside Moise Kean up front in a 3-5-2 formation but constantly drifted out to the left flank. It’s not the first time Allegri has used the hugely talented 25-year-old as a central attacker. .... Promising start for Weah Only so much can be gleaned from a non-competitive fixture yet the American international added a different dimension for Juve on the right wing. Purposeful, speedy and direct he set up Chiesa with a precise cross in the opening period and looked a potent attacking outlet in a 59-minute run out in the home stadium of MLS club LA Galaxy. ..... Set-piece worries Both Milan goals came from dead ball positions as the Juventus back-line was easily outmanoeuvred in an entertaining first half. While hardly a major concern at this stage of pre-season the defensive trio of Federico Gatti, Gleison Bremer and Danilo didn’t exactly cover themselves in glory as the Rossoneri twice took the lead. There were early signs of rustiness before Juve eventually changed their entire starting 11 just before the hour mark. .....

Allegri satisfied with Juventus display against Milan in pre-season friendly Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri said that he was satisfied with his team’s performance during their penalty shootout win over Milan during their pre-season friendly in Los Angeles in the early hours of Friday morning. The two sides had been held at 2-2 after regular time at the Dignity Health Sports Park, regular home of LA Galaxy, thanks to goals from Danilo, Malick Thiaw, Olivier Giroud and Daniele Rugani. Juve then pipped the Rossoneri on spot kicks, with Matias Soule delivering the winner in sudden death. Following the cancellation of their scheduled friendly with Barcelona on Saturday, this was the first official pre-season friendly of the summer for Allegri and his team. Speaking after the final whistle, the Bianconeri boss said: “We had a good workout, Milan already had a match under their belts. Winning helps, the guys performed well. Last year we finished third in the standings, that’s a good place to build from. ....

Juventus 2 (4) - AC Milan 2 (3): Initial reaction and random observations THE WRATH OF CARLO PINSOGLIO HAS BEEN FELT BY THOSE AT AC MILAN The first friendly of the summertime is always a difficult one to try and read much in to no matter what the state of Juventus is at that time. It’s especially difficult to do just that when the team you write about doesn’t actually play its first friendly and its second friendly then becomes its first friendly as a result. .... Juve evened things up with rivals AC Milan twice in Southern California, ultimately beating them 4-3 on penalties thanks to a pair of big saves from Carlo Pinsoglio. Yes, that is very much something that you probably shouldn’t be surprised to read in a recap of things from a friendly played in the final week of July because, ultimately, if Pinsoglio — no matter how much we love him and want him to be the life of all of our parties — is having to do such a thing in a penalty shootout that actually counts then it signals just what kind of dire straights Juve may be in at the time. But come Thursday night, it was Juve’s No. 3 goalkeeper and a hodgepodge of PK takers who started things off on a winning note this summer even though the results probably don’t mean as much as some want you to believe. .... On this night, though, there were some good things that happened well before Pinsoglio was saving penalties and doing it with a giant smile on his face. Was the overall team performance all that great? No, not by any means. This was decent at times, but pretty not-great for a lot of other phases of the game. But when you see Federico Chiesa buzzing around and growing into the game like he did prior to his knee injury, that’s a good sign. When you see Timothy Weah, in his first appearance playing for the club that his legendary dad loves some much, is flashing his big-time speed and creating a good number of chances on the right wing, that’s a good sign. When you see Dean Huijsen at all of 18 years old showing absolutely no fear and going strong into challenges, playing with poise, taking a crack at goal and then scoring a penalty in the kind of fashion he did, that’s a good sign. When you see Federico Gatti unable to get his head to the ball and Milan scoring a pair of goals because of it, that’s ... wait, that’s not a good sign. ... Don’t lie, you know you at least cracked a smile when you saw everybody congratulating Pinsoglio after Matias Soulé’s penalty won it for Juventus. It’s a friendly, but for a guy like Pinsoglio to get a little bit of shine is never a bad thing no matter if the game counts or not. .... I’m guessing Pinsoglio being named man of the match is something he’s not going to let the likes of Tek Szczesny and Mattia Perin forget about — at all. Pinso won the day, that’s for damn sure. OK, OK. Federico Chiesa also won the day with how he played. And boy, as much as I want to contain my excitement after his performance because it was for all of about 50 minutes or so and there will certainly be transfer rumors involving him over the next few weeks, seeing him play with that pace, that aggressiveness and yet also that kind of control was certainly a great sight. Is Chiesa being fielded as a striker optimal? No, of course not. But Chiesa being at the center of the majority of good things Juve did in attack or on the counter, that’s a very good development. Seeing Chiesa with wide open spaces in front of him and then create a handful of scoring chances, that’s what you want from your most dynamic attacking player. We’ll see how things go going forward, but on this night we saw plenty of flashes of pre-injury Chiesa. ..... In all seriousness, it was a baptism of fire of sorts for Timothy Weah — not only was he looked to contribute to the attack but also had the task of trying to stop one of the most dynamic attacking forces in Serie A in the form of Leao. It wasn’t pretty, but I’m guessing that Weah is going to be watch a whole lot of film of this one to try and make sure his next meeting with Leao goes a little smoother. .....

Journalist argues that Bremer is not better than Rugani While some fans and analysts may view Gleison Bremer as the best centre-back at Juventus, journalist Andrea Bosco holds a different perspective, suggesting that Bremer is not significantly different from Daniele Rugani. ............... Bosco’s perspective is that neither Bremer nor Rugani inspire confidence, indicating that there might be concerns about both players’ performances despite their roles within the squad. ............... “The game isn’t there, Allegri talks about a point gained against Atalanta and from his point of view it’s also right. He knows that the team has disposal, net of wages, is poor. When Bremer gets the ball I’m terrified, he’s paid millions and in my opinion he’s not stronger than Rugani. He wasn’t the right man to increase the quality of Juventus’ defence.” ............... Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/journalist-argues-that-bremer-is-not-better-than-rugani/

Tottenham willing to submit offer for Gleison Bremer Tottenham Hotspur are keen on having Gleison Bremer in their ranks. Ange Postecoglou is looking to bolster his defence further and has his eyes set on the 26-year-old Juventus star. .............. The 26-year-old made a name for himself while playing for Italian club Torino. During his four-year-long stay at the club, he went from strength to strength and managed to put in some exceptional performances. His performances didn’t go unnoticed as Juventus came calling last summer. The Brazil international has been an instant hit since joining the Italian gains. He has already featured in 48 matches and has contributed towards six goals. .............. The Brazil international is an important part of Juventus’ first team and they won’t let go of the 26-year-old with ease. As a result, Spurs are ready to table an offer of more than €40 million for the services of the former Torino defender. ..............

Juventus is preparing for a UEFA ban in European competitions Juventus is currently awaiting feedback from UEFA regarding an investigation into their use of capital gains and potential breach of Financial Fair Play regulations. The European governing body’s investigation comes as a result of years of poor decision-making by the club’s previous board of directors, which has led to troubles for the team in recent times. ...... With the possibility of a UEFA ban in mind, Juventus is already preparing for the worst-case scenario and anticipating a ban from European competitions. The club’s mindset is to be prepared not to participate in the Conference League if necessary. ......

From Rovella to De Winter: 13 Juventus players looking to impress in USA and lock spots for next season This summer, almost any Juventus player could leave the club for the right offer. This includes top stars like Dusan Vlahovic, Federico Chiesa and Paul Pogba. But aside from the big names, there are 13 players who are hoping to impress Max Allegri during the US tour and cement themselves a spot in next season’s squad. We begin with Weston McKennie who probably joined the US tour for marketing reasons. ..... On the contrary, Nicolò Rovella will likely remain in Turin following an exciting spell at Monza, unless the club receives an irresistible offer. For his part, Hans Nicolussi Caviglia could embark on another Serie A loan spell, potentially at Frosinone. The same goes for Fabio Miretti, especially if a new midfielder (like Franck Kessié) were to arrive. On the other hand, young wingbacks Samuel Iling-Junior and Andrea Cambiaso will likely remain at the club, unless Juventus receive lucrative bids. Young Argentines Matias Soulé and Enzo Barrenechea could leave Turin in search of additional playing time. .... As for Koni De Winter, he may take advantage of Leonardo Bonucci’s ousting to remain at the club as a backup option in defense. Finally, Allegri brought with him four Next Gen starlets in the shape of Dean Huijsen, Kenan Yildiz, Cyril Ngong and Giovanni Daffara. ......

Yildiz set to break into Juventus first team after impressing in pre-season Kenan Yildiz has emerged as a rapidly developing talent at Juventus ever since he joined the club from the U19 stage. The young player, who holds dual Germany and Turkish citizenship impressed during his time with the U19 team, leading to his promotion to the Next Gen side in early 2023. Currently, Yildiz is participating in pre-season training with the club’s first team, where he has been impressing the coaching staff with his performances. Juventus has been increasingly relying on the talents from their youth system in recent years to minimise expenses on major transfers. Yildiz has set his sights on earning a place in the first team and is putting in the effort to achieve that goal when the next season commences. ...... Juventus seems to have high hopes for the young talent and believes he has the potential to make significant contributions in the upcoming season. ...

Real Madrid star turns down Juventus approach Juventus is currently in the midst of an active pursuit of transfer targets, with Cristiano Giuntoli leading the efforts to bolster the squad and make it instantly competitive. Over the past two seasons, the Bianconeri haven’t performed at their best, and Giuntoli’s primary focus in this transfer window is to address any redundancy and complacency within the team before the start of the new season. Among the players on Juve’s shopping list is Real Madrid’s Lucas Vazquez. However, it appears that the Spanish winger is not particularly interested in the move. Despite discussions between Juventus, Vazquez, and Real Madrid, the player has turned down their approach. Real Madrid is willing to consider selling him now, given that he has only 12 months left on his contract. However Vazquez intends to leave the club as a free agent next summer. .....

“We’re fans before being owners” – John Elkann on eternal bond between Juventus & Agnelli family Following the club’s recent financial and legal troubles, some voices claimed that the Agnelli family are considering ending their tenure at the helm of Juventus. But on the eve of the 100th anniversary of the family’s takeover, EXOR CEO John Elkann came out to reassure the fans of the eternal bond between his family and the Turin-based club. Elkann is the grandson of the legendary Gianni Agnelli. He became the De Facto leader of the powerful family following the passing of L’avvocato in 2003. The 47-year-old isn’t the most popular figure amongst the club’s supporters, but he insists that he and the rest of his family are Juventus supporters before being owners. “Sure, we are the owners, but we’re fans first and foremost,” said Elkann in an interview with La Stampa. .... “There is a double thread of continuity that unites our family to Juventus in these hundred years, a visceral love, because it is linked to moments of family life and indelible memories. .... “As my grandfather used to say ‘Juventus means youth’. Youth means being projected towards the future. Its past is full of glory, but with the name it bears, it is the future that must be looked to.” Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/were-fans-before-being-owners-john-elkann-on-eternal-bond-between-juventus-agnelli-family/

Pogba cost more per minute last season than Neymar and Messi Almost exactly a year ago, Paul Pogba suffered his first injury after returning to Juventus, a situation that has cost the club dearly. The 30-year-old Frenchman returned to Turin on a free transfer last summer, signing a four-year deal worth around €8m net per season with €2m in add-ons. The hope was that he could enter the renaissance of his career after a difficult end to life with Manchester United. Things didn’t go to plan. Pogba suffered a knee injury in July last year and the resulting surgery in September kept him out of action until late February. After briefly returning, he suffered a muscle injury, sidelining him for another two months. Three cameo appearances followed before his season came to an end early due to a hamstring issue. ...... Considering that the Frenchman only saw 161 minutes of action across 10 total appearances last season, he earnt €49,689 for every minute spent on the pitch. No other player comes close to matching this, with Eden Hazard costing Real Madrid €38,265 per minute, and Neymar and Lionel Messi costing Paris Saint-Germain €13,124 per minute and €9623 per minute respectively.
