Conceiçao ‘immediately’ called Veiga to Juventus from Chelsea Francisco Conceiçao reveals he ‘immediately’ called his compatriot Renato Veiga when he heard Juventus were interested: ‘I know his quality.’ Veiga has moved to Turin from Chelsea on loan until the end of the season. ............ “When I heard he could move to Juventus, I immediately called him to say he would join a big club that would help him develop,” said Conceiçao. “I tried to convince him. I know his quality, and I think he can help us.” Conceiçao will meet more familiar faces tomorrow as Benfica will visit the Bianconeri at the Allianz Stadium in the Champions League Round 8. ............ “We know Benfica’s strength, but we want to give a reply and show who we are.” Juventus recently lost their first league game this season and will be looking to bounce back on Wednesday. “It’s always difficult when you don’t win, but we are in a process. We are a young team, and we train every day to raise the bar,” said Conceiçao. “It’s a competition that everyone dreams of playing.” ............ “I want to help the team win, and I work every day for this.” Conceiçao is on loan at Juventus from Porto, but the Bianconeri have a ‘gentlemen’s agreement’ to make his move permanent for €30m at the end of the season. “I don’t know what the future has in store, but I want to help the club 100%,” concluded Conceiçao. “I am happy here, and I have settled in well. I focus on myself, and I hope to continue like this.” . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/conceicao-immediately-called-veiga-juventus/

Pavan says the media is working hard to sink Juventus Massimo Pavan has shed light on the media’s portrayal of Juventus, pointing out the criticism and scrutiny the Bianconeri consistently face. As one of the most successful clubs in Italian football history, Juventus are no stranger to being in the spotlight. Their status as a publicly traded company ensures their decisions and actions are visible to all, but their dominance over the years has also made them a target of envy and, often, unfair treatment in the media. ............ Pavan addressed what he perceives as the unjust treatment of the club: “Nobody is happy with the standings and the lack of victories, but someone wants to sink us in the media. It’s clear that the specious cases with Vlahovic. Six months of saying that a deputy Vlahovic was needed, now he arrives and Vlahovic should always play, so why did they take him? And then the bullshit about Xavi that came out today is sensational.” Pavan’s remarks underline the inconsistent narratives surrounding Juventus in the press. Whether it’s the handling of Dusan Vlahovic’s situation or broader discussions about the club’s decisions, there seems to be a constant attempt to portray the Bianconeri in a negative light. ............ .

Giuntoli wants an Englishman to replace the next midfielder Juventus sell Juventus remains highly active in the current transfer window, with further squad changes expected before it closes. The Bianconeri have been among the busiest clubs in Italian football during this period, reflecting their determination to address shortcomings from the first half of the season. After failing to meet expectations earlier in the campaign, the club appears committed to reshaping the squad to improve performances and results. ............ In midfield, two notable names—Nicolo Fagioli and Douglas Luiz—have reportedly attracted interest from clubs across Europe. Juventus would not stand in the way of either player leaving if an attractive offer arrives. The club is already making contingency plans to replace them should a departure occur. One name linked as a potential incoming signing is Chelsea’s Carney Chukwuemeka. The English midfielder, considered one of the brightest young talents in Europe, has struggled for playing time under Enzo Maresca this season. Juventus, while negotiating a deal for Renato Veiga, reportedly enquired about the possibility of signing Chukwuemeka. Chukwuemeka is a dynamic and creative midfielder who has shown flashes of his potential despite limited opportunities at Chelsea. His ability to contribute both offensively and defensively makes him an exciting prospect. However, his age and relative inexperience mean he would need time to adapt to life in Turin and prove himself as a regular in the starting XI. ............ .

Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic rejects Al Nassr move Serie A side Juventus have seen Al Nassr come forward for Dusan Vlahovic, who is having a difficult time at the club. The Serbian has been linked with a move to Arsenal in recent days, as poor form and the lack of progress about a new deal has led to uncertainty about his future at Juve. Al Nassr have tried to take advantage of this and they made an offer for him. Stefano Pioli was the man behind the move but Vlahovic’s response was a rather firm ‘no’, despite the riches on offer. The striker didn’t take the move into consideration at all. ............ . Read more -> https://www.getfootballnewsitaly.com/2025/juventus-dusan-vlahovic-rejects-al-nassr-move/

Juventus is actively making plans to replace Vlahovic now Every football contract has an expiry date, which is why it is rare to see players spend their entire careers at one club. While some players move frequently, others see a transfer to a major team as an opportunity to settle and build a legacy. Many of the current Juventus players would likely be eager to remain at the club for as long as possible, cementing their place at one of Europe’s most storied teams. However, this sentiment might not apply to Dusan Vlahovic, whose future at Juventus has become increasingly uncertain. The Serbian striker, once seen as a crucial part of the Bianconeri’s plans, now finds himself facing significant challenges to regain his place in the starting XI. ............ Juventus are now actively exploring potential replacements for Vlahovic, with plans to reshape their attacking line next summer. The shortlist reportedly includes high-profile names like Victor Osimhen, who has been in stellar form for Napoli, and Joshua Zirkzee, a promising young striker making waves in Europe. ............ Once a rising star and a pivotal player for Juventus, he now faces the prospect of being phased out of the team entirely. The striker must consider his future carefully, as his importance to the club has diminished in recent months. ............ .

Preview: Juventus vs. Benfica - prediction, team news, lineups With playoff places on the line, two former European Cup winners meet on Wednesday evening, as Juventus and Benfica clash in the Champions League. Coming into the league-phase finale, Juve have already confirmed a place in the knockout rounds but are one point shy of the top eight, while last week's incredible loss to Barcelona means Benfica could still be eliminated. Match preview Juventus may have claimed 12 points from seven games so far, but after winning their first two fixtures in the inaugural league phase, the Italian giants have managed just a single success from the next five - most recently drawing 0-0 away to Club Brugge. That result in Belgium was Juve's 16th stalemate across all competitions this season, and more than half of their matches have ended all square; however, only victory will do if they are to snatch automatic entry into the Champions League's last 16. Amid a sea of draws, Thiago Motta's men have at least proven tough to beat, but they suffered a third loss of the 2024-25 campaign last weekend, when former Juventus boss Antonio Conte led his current club to maximum points at Stadio Maradona. The Bianconeri's first Serie A defeat of the season came at the hands of league leaders Napoli, despite a debut goal from new signing Randal Kolo Muani, who had only completed his loan move from Paris Saint-Germain a few days earlier. Not only did that setback against one of their traditional rivals leave them fifth in the domestic standings, but it also confirmed a certain frailty. Motta's side have now let some 17 points slip through their fingers, leaving the ex-Bologna boss with the third-lowest win percentage of any permanent manager in the Turin club's history. Now, his team head into a vital continental contest against bogey club Benfica, to whom Juventus have lost six times in eight previous meetings - they have only been beaten by Real Madrid more times in UEFA competition. ............ Team News © Imago After boldly throwing Randal Kolo Muani straight into a Serie A grudge match against Napoli, Thiago Motta must look elsewhere for his central striker on Wednesday, as the French forward is not eligible to play for Juventus in the league phase. Due to what Motta has termed "technical issues", top scorer Dusan Vlahovic has found himself out of favour - despite netting four goals in six Champions League games this term - so Nico Gonzalez may again operate as a false nine, as he did against Club Brugge. The hosts' attacking options have recently been boosted by Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceicao returning from injury, which only leaves long-term absentees Arkadiusz Milik, Juan Cabal and Bremer on the sidelines. ............ Juventus possible starting lineup: Di Gregorio; McKennie, Kalulu, Gatti, Cambiaso; Luiz, Thuram; Yildiz, Koopmeiners, Mbangula; Gonzalez Benfica possible starting lineup: Trubin; Araujo, Otamendi, Silva, Bah; Aursnes, Luis; Di Maria, Kokcu, Schjelderup; Pavlidis We say: Juventus 2-1 Benfica Benfica are averaging two goals per game in this season's Champions League, but Juventus can usually keep things tight - it is just a matter of whether they find any rhythm in the final third. If the hosts are able to break through a suspect visiting defence, then they should go on to win, leaving the endangered Eagles awaiting news from elsewhere. .

Renato Veiga Nazionalità Portogallo Altezza 188 cm Peso 83 kg Calcio Ruolo Difensore Squadra Juventus Carriera Giovanili 2010-2013 Sporting Lisbona 2013-2019 Real SC 2019-2022 Sporting Lisbona Squadre di club 2021-2023 Sporting Lisbona B 31 (4) 2023 → Augusta 13 (0) 2023-2024 Basilea 23 (2) 2024-2025 Chelsea 7 (0) 2025- → Juventus 15 (0) Nazionale 2021 Portogallo U-19 6 (0) 2022-2024 Portogallo U-20 7 (1) 2024- Portogallo 4 (0) Biografia Suo padre Nélson era anch'egli un calciatore e militava nella nazionale capoverdiana. Caratteristiche tecniche Di piede mancino, il suo ruolo è quellodi difensore centrale, ma può giocare anche da terzino sinistro e, grazie alle sue abilità palla al piede, da mediano. Aggressivo e abile nell'interdizione, gli piace ricercare l'anticipo e preferisce difendere in avanti e ha una buona attitudine alla riaggressione, motivo per cui non fa fatica a staccarsi per tamponare le transizioni avversarie. Tende a cercare in maniera proattiva il recupero della palla e, grazie alle sue gambe lunghe che riesce a infilare dappertutto, gli piace lasciare la posizione per aiutare i compagni di squadra in raddoppio, oltre a creare spazi per in fase offensiva. Anche a causa della sua stazza per ovviare alla scarsa rapidità nel girarsi preferisce il controllo di suola per tenere il pallone sotto il corpo. Carriera Club Gli inizi Cresciuto nel settore giovanile dello Sporting Lisbona, il 31 gennaio 2023 viene ceduto in prestito all'Augusta fino al termine dell'anno solare. L'11 febbraio successivo ha esordito in Bundesliga, in occasione dell'incontro perso per 3-1 contro il Magonza. Il 15 agosto 2023 il prestito viene rescisso e, tredici giorni dopo, viene ceduto a titolo definitivo al Basilea. Chelsea e prestito alla Juventus Il 12 luglio 2024 viene acquistato dal Chelsea. Il 3 ottobre seguente realizza il suo primo gol per i londinesi nel successo per 4-2 in Conference League contro il Gent. Tuttavia con i londinesi ha trovato poco spazio, giocando principalmente nelle coppe, perciò il 27 gennaio 2025 viene acquistato in prestito oneroso fino al termine della stagione dalla Juventus. Con i bianconeri fa il suo esordio da titolare il 2 febbraio, in occasione della partita interna contro l'Empoli, vinta per 4-1. L'11 febbraio fa il suo esordio assoluto in Champions League, inserito nella formazione titolare in occasione del 2-1 casalingo contro il PSV Eindhoven. Nazionale Ha giocato nelle nazionali giovanili portoghesi Under-19 e Under-20. Il 30 agosto 2024 viene convocato per la prima volta in nazionale maggiore, con cui ha esordito otto giorni dopo nel successo esterno in Nations League contro la Polonia (1-3).

OFFICIAL: Juventus Sign Renato Veiga Juventus have officially announced the signing of Renato Veiga, a promising defender from Chelsea, as they bolster their squad for the remainder of the season. Following successful medical examinations at JMedical, Veiga is now set to wear the number 12 jersey, previously held by Alex Sandro. The agreement between Juventus and Chelsea involves a dry loan arrangement valued at €3.8 million, with additional costs amounting to €200,000. Performance-related bonuses could increase the total fee to €5.5 million by June 30, 2026. This strategic move comes as Juventus aims to strengthen their defensive line, particularly after recent injuries to key players. ............ . His versatility allows him to play both as a center-back and left-back, making him an ideal fit for Juventus’s current needs. Veiga’s arrival is seen as a significant boost for Juventus, who have experienced injuries to defenders Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal.

Renato Veiga arrives for Juventus medical ahead of transfer from Chelsea Chelsea defender Renato Veiga has arrived at the J| Medical Centre to undergo his medical tests ahead of his tranfer to Juventus. The two clubs reached an agreement in recent days over a dry loan until the end of the season which will cost the Bianconeri 4.5 million euros between fees and wages. The 21-year-old was pictured on Sunday night boarding a plane taking him from London to Turin. After landing in Italy last night, the player’s long day at Continassa has now begun, and his first stop is at the Juventus medical facility. ............

Chelsea’s Veiga expected in Turin today to complete Juventus loan Renato Veiga is expected to arrive in Turin today, with Juventus ready to announce him as their new January reinforcement after reaching an agreement with Chelsea upon a loan deal. After signing Alberto Costa from Vitoria SC about 10 days ago, the Bianconeri kept working to provide coach Thiago Motta with another player in a department plagued by serious injuries. Fabrizio Romano reported on Sunday afternoon that the 21-year-old is expected to travel from England to Turin later in the day, as Juventus are ready to make his signing official. ............ Romano also confirmed the Old Lady will pay around €5m for the straight loan, while the Premier League giants will keep paying the player’s salary for the next months before welcoming him back to Stamford Bridge in the summer. ............ .

Renato Veiga set to join Juventus on loan - but he'll be back at Chelsea in the summer Juventus will pay a €5 million (£3.8m/$5.2m) loan fee for Veiga’s services, with an additional €1m potentially due in bonuses based on performance. The agreement does not include a purchase option, ensuring Veiga’s eventual return to Chelsea later this year. ............ Chelsea had indicated their willingness to loan out Veiga, provided that both playing opportunities and financial terms were met. While Marseille and Borussia Dortmund were among the clubs initially interested in securing Veiga, Juventus ultimately met the criteria laid out by the Premier League side to lure him to Turin. ............ Veiga has struggled to secure consistent playing time at Chelsea. Despite making 18 appearances for the Blues this season, he has only started one Premier League match. Most of his contributions have come in the Conference League. ............ .

Juventus, Chelsea agree to loan deal for Renato Veiga For the second time in a week, Juventus have turned toward the country of Portugal to provide themselves with some much-needed depth in defense. This one, however, is much more of a short-term fix. Juventus and Chelsea have agreed to a short-term loan deal for Portuguese defender Renato Veiga. The 21-year-old center back who can also play on the left had only signed with Chelsea from FC Basel last summer in a move worth €14 million, but he had only made a combined 13 appearances between the Premier League and the UEFA Conference League, thus making him very much available to make a January loan move. Juventus reportedly beat out the likes of Borussia Dortmund and others to secure Veiga’s services through the second half of the 2024-25 season. Juventus will reportedly pay a loan fee of around €4.5-€5 million to secure Veiga’s services for the next six months — which probably speaks more to the Bianconeri’s desperation to finally secure an option behind Federico Gatti and Pierre Kalulu more than anything else. Chelsea are reportedly covering Veiga’s salary for the next six months and agent fees. ............ Veiga would simply give Juventus manager Thiago Motta an alternative to Federico Gatti and Pierre Kalulu — who have played the most minutes out of any Juve players in all competitions this season. ............ .

Juventus’ Double Defensive Mission: Giuntoli Targets Kelly and Veiga as Chelsea Eye Douglas Luiz Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli is on a dual mission to bolster the club’s defence before the transfer window closes. The Bianconeri are pursuing Newcastle’s Lloyd Kelly and Chelsea’s Renato Veiga, with Giuntoli recently traveling to London to accelerate negotiations. Progress has been made in talks for Kelly, who offers versatility as both a full-back and centre-back. Newcastle have opened the door for a loan with an option to buy, but Juventus is cautious about exceeding their budget. The English defender’s ability to play multiple positions makes him an attractive target for the Italian giants. Simultaneously, discussions are ongoing with Chelsea regarding Portuguese defender Renato Veiga. During these negotiations, the name of Douglas Luiz has emerged as a point of interest for the London club. Chelsea is keen on a loan deal for the Brazilian midfielder, while Juventus prefers a permanent transfer to generate funds. ............ Amidst these defensive pursuits, Juventus is also finalizing the arrival of Randal Kolo Muani. Giuntoli expressed optimism about the transfer, stating, “I believe everything will be resolved shortly. They’re completing the final documents, and we should have it done by tomorrow at the latest.” ............ Giuntoli emphasized the club’s focus on strengthening rather than selling. “We don’t want to conduct outgoing transfers, but rather enhance the squad”. ............ .

Juventus in talks with Chelsea for young defender Juventus have reportedly joined Borussia Dortmund in the race to sign young Chelsea defender Renato Veiga. ............ Over the past few weeks, their main options have been Fikayo Tomori, David Hancko, Antonio Silva and Ronald Araujo, but they haven’t been able to find the breakthrough on any of these tracks for various reasons. Therefore, new names have surfaced on the scene in recent days, including the likes of Lilian Brassier and Thomas Kristensen. Juventus have set their sights on Veiga who is seeing little playing time at Chelsea. The 21-year-old is a Sporting CP youth product who had his breakout campaign last season at FC Basel, which earned him a move to Stamford Bridge in the summer. The Portuguese is a centre-back by trade, but is being deployed at left-back by Enzo Maresca, and often making appearances in the Conference League and the other cup competitions. ............ Moreover, Juventus are simultaneously following Newcastle United’s Lloyd Kelly, reveals Romano. After all, one new defender would not suffice at this stage. On Sunday, reports claimed that the Bianconeri are keen to sign the 26-year-old who has yet to cement himself as a regular starter with the Magpies. ............ . Read more ->

Motta has the players now, will he change his system? Juventus may still have work to do in the transfer market before the window closes, but they have already made efforts to bolster Thiago Motta’s squad this month. Motta enjoyed a significant transfer budget during the last window. Yet, his team’s performances so far suggest that further improvement is needed if Juventus are to deliver the success their fans crave. ............ In Serie A, Juventus maintained an unbeaten streak until this past weekend when Napoli brought it to an end. The defeat widened the gap between Juventus and the league leaders, raising fresh concerns about the team’s ability to challenge for the title. While injuries to key players hampered their efforts in the first half of the season, the club has responded by strengthening the squad during the January window. The question now is whether Motta’s current tactical approach can deliver the desired results. His system worked well at Bologna, where he achieved notable success despite limited resources. However, Juventus is a very different proposition, with players of higher calibre and expectations of consistent results. Sticking rigidly to the same tactics he used at Bologna might not bring out the best in this group of players. ............ Juventus has a history of pragmatic management, and the most successful coaches in the club’s history have been those who were willing to adjust their methods to maximise their team’s potential. If Motta can do the same, he has a strong chance of leading Juventus to success. But if he remains too attached to his previous methods, he risks falling short of the high standards expected at a club of this stature. .

L’Equipe: Juventus contact former Barcelona coach – Is Thiago Motta at risk? A report from France claims Juventus have made contact with Barcelona legend Xavi Hernandez, thus raising concerns about Thiago Motta’s future at the club. ............ Juventus are enduring yet another miserable campaign, laying 5th place in the table, 16 points adrift from league leaders Napoli who bested them on Saturday. So according to L’Equipe, the club’s directors have contacted Motta’s former Barcelona teammate Xavi to enquire about his availability, albeit for a future role rather than an immediate one. As the source explains, the Serie A giants have no plans to part ways with Motta in the near future, and a mid-season breakup is most probably out of the question barring any extraordinary events. Nevertheless, the management doesn’t want to be caught off guard at some stage. So if they were to decide to part ways with their current head coach at some point, they would like to have a clear plan in mind. ............ .

Thiago Motta has third-worst record in Juventus history after Napoli loss Thiago Motta currently has the third-lowest win percentage of any permanent manager in Juventus’s history following the club’s 2-1 loss to Antonio Conte’s Napoli at the weekend. ............ In terms of points won, this is Juventus’s worst start to a campaign in 14 years with just 37 points from their first 22 matches of the 2024-25 season. The Old Lady has not got off to a slower start since 2010-11, when Luigi Delneri oversaw nine wins, eight draws and five losses for a total of 35 points from 22 games. As things stand, Thiago Motta has a win percentage of 38.71% with Juventus in Serie A. Only two permanent Bianconeri coaches have worse records: Alberto Zaccheroni with 38.10% and Sandro Puppo with 24.19%. ............ .

“Juventus Would Compete for the Scudetto with Conte”: Parolo’s Bold Claim Former Lazio midfielder Marco Parolo has stirred up debate with his recent comments about Juventus’ potential under Antonio Conte’s leadership. The discussion was sparked by a poll asking viewers where Juventus would be with Conte at the helm. The poll results revealed diverse opinions among fans: 33% believed Juventus would be leading Serie A, 41% thought they would be in contention for the Scudetto, and 17% placed them in the Champions League zone. Parolo weighed in on the debate, stating, “In my opinion, they would be fighting for the Scudetto, perhaps even leading the table.” However, former national team striker Luca Toni offered a more measured view: “Conte makes an impact and could have earned a few more points than Thiago Motta, but two years ago Napoli won the Scudetto. The team needed motivation, and Conte is perfect for making it perform at its best immediately.” ............ .

Danilo bids Juventus farewell, aims several digs at the management: “I can no longer be part of this project” Danilo saluted Juventus fans as his contract termination was made official on Monday. The former club captain bid the Bianconeri farewell with an open letter that included a few subtle digs at the management. The 33-year-old was a stalwart at the club in recent years and inherited the captain’s armband in the summer of 2023 having already cemented himself as the de facto locker-room leader. ............ For his part, the former Real Madrid and Man City star penned an open letter to the Bianconeri supporters, explaining how this farewell isn’t easy for him. “Dear Bianconeri, I don’t know where to start, I knew it would come but you’re never ready to say goodbye. Five and a half years have passed but for me it’s like a lifetime,” wrote Danilo. “It’s never easy to part with a love, a place that has given me so much, a shirt with great emotions, a club where I rediscovered the values that have accompanied me throughout my career and learned from my parents.” ............ “I learned from the great men in the locker room, and I too have become a teacher and defender of these values. Tooth and nail, as if they were part of me, like the teachings to my children who have also made Turin their home and have become great fans of these colours. “Perhaps it’s out of respect for these values that I can no longer be part of this project. It makes me proud that I have never changed my way of being, my way of defending the most important club in my career.” ............ “I apologize to our fans for the moments in which I may have disappointed, never for lack of commitment, dedication, or hard work. And I thank you for the welcome, the respect, and the bond built along the way. “I have always felt like your representative on the pitch. When I listened to the anthem you sing at the stadium I was moved, I was fired up, and these things you cannot buy with every imaginative project.” ............ “To conclude, it is right to quote a phrase that a certain gentleman named Andrea Agnelli once said: ‘Our awareness will be our challenge. To live up to the history of Juventus. We will recognize each other everywhere with a glance. We are the people of Juventus.’ Thank you for everything. A hug from the captain, goodbye.” Danilo is widely expected to return to his native Brazil and sign for Flamengo. .

West Ham & Juventus agree on transfer formula for unhappy defender Juventus are still pushing to secure the services of Jean-Clair Todibo who didn’t enjoy a great first half of the season at West Ham United.
