Sabato explains why it is hard to predict the Juventus-Torino match Juventus will face Torino in Serie A this weekend, and the match is difficult to predict given the poor form of both teams. The Bianconeri were eliminated from the Super Cup and have struggled to secure victories in several games this season, with too many drawn results. This has limited their ability to accumulate wins, and as a result, they are not a team that many opponents would fear at the moment. The men in black and white must find a way to bring back that fear factor, and a brilliant victory over Torino could be the key to achieving that. ............ The Bianconeri are aware that failing to win this game would send the wrong message to fans, as nearly every top team would expect to beat Torino in their current state. Still, pundit Antonio Sabato believes it is an unpredictable encounter: “At the moment, two teams that aren’t doing well are facing each other. Torino hasn’t won for a while and are in bad shape, though this could be the match that turns things around. The Granata have already burned through a few turning points this year. Juventus, on the other hand, have created difficulties for themselves. They started well but are slowly going downhill. Both teams are struggling.” “Prediction? We can talk about derby statistics, which see Juventus as the favourite, but right now, the Bianconeri are not doing well, just like Torino, so it’s complicated to predict a result.” ............ .

Preview: Torino vs. Juventus - prediction, team news, lineups Aiming to continue their long dominance of the Turin derby, Italian giants Juventus will visit city rivals Torino on Saturday evening. Ahead of the 183rd clash between them since 1929, Juve are unbeaten in Serie A this season - and in 21 games against Toro. Match preview November's win at the Allianz Stadium brought up the Bianconeri's 19th straight home game without losing to their neighbours, extending a record run in the Derby della Mole. Juventus have also been tough to beat throughout this season, but they suffered just a second setback - and their first in domestic competition - in last week's Supercoppa Italiana semi-finals. ............ Thiago Motta's men have also endured plenty of frustration in Serie A so far, summed up by their most recent outing, a 2-2 draw with Fiorentina that saw the Viola draw level after 87 minutes. That result may have made it 18 league games unbeaten but also left them trailing behind Italy's top four as they approach the midpoint of Motta's first campaign. Losing to the old enemy is, therefore, totally unthinkable. After the reverse fixture ended 2-0 to Juve with goals from Timothy Weah and Kenan Yildiz, only a derby double will do. ............ Team News © Imago Both Dusan Vlahovic (muscular) and Francisco Conceicao (thigh) are doubts for the Turin derby, as they have been training individually this week. Juventus are already without Manuel Locatelli - who must serve a suspension - while long-term absentees Arkadiusz Milik, Bremer and Juan Cabal are still sidelined and Danilo seems bound for a mid-season exit. Meanwhile, Torino are hopeful that Saul Coco and midfield fulcrum Samuele Ricci can overcome injuries sustained against Parma. Perr Schuurs and Duvan Zapata are both out for the long term, with the latter's absence leaving misfiring strikers Che Adams, Yann Karamoh and Antonio Sanabria to battle for places up front. Torino possible starting lineup: Milinkovic-Savic; Vojvoda, Maripan, Coco; Lazaro, Ricci, Linetty, Sosa; Vlasic, Karamoh; Adams Juventus possible starting lineup: Di Gregorio; Savona, Kalulu, Gatti, Cambiaso; Thuram, Koopmeiners; Yildiz, Gonzalez, Mbangula; Vlahovic We say: Torino 0-1 Juventus Derby dominators Juventus can surely keep another clean sheet against Torino's ailing attack, so it could be a matter of making the breakthrough and then sitting tight to collect maximum points. .

Dusan Vlahovic in doubt for Torino Derby – Likely replacement revealed Juventus might have to do without Dusan Vlahovic in the Derby della Mole clash against Torino on Saturday night. The Bianconeri will be eager to bounce back following their disappointing trip to Riyadh which ended with a defeat to Milan in the semi-final of the Italian Super Cup. ............ The Serbian is suffering from muscle fatigue which prompted a visit to the J|Medical Centre. While it remains to be seen if the 24-year-old will be fit enough to take part in the Derby showdown, many observers believe he’s unlikely to start the contest, but could be an option for the second half if he overcomes a later athletic test. Therefore, Thiago Motta could be left with the unpleasant task of improvising an emergency solution upfront, as Arkadiusz Milik has infamously been missing with a knee injury since June. But the manager has a clear idea in mind, as he believes Nico Gonzalez would be the best option available to lead the line against the Granata. The Argentine may be a winger by trade, but he has also featured in more central roles in the past, whether as an attacking midfielder or a striker. ............ .

Pavan gives his verdict on Juventus signing Araujo this month Massimo Pavan has shared his thoughts on the potential transfer of Ronald Araujo to Juventus this month. The Bianconeri have identified Araujo as a key target as they look to strengthen their defence in the current transfer window. Juventus are in need of reinforcements at the back and have been actively scouting top talent in recent months to bolster their squad. ............ The Uruguayan centre-back has built a reputation as a strong and reliable defender, excelling in battles against top attackers like Vinicius Junior in La Liga. His ability to handle such challenges makes him a promising candidate to succeed in Turin. Massimo Pavan believes Araujo would be a smart signing for the Bianconeri. He remarked: “Taking him on loan to evaluate his conditions seems like a good idea to me. If he is well, Araujo is an experienced player and would make up for Danilo’s departure.” ............ .

Juventus agree terms with 25-year-old Barcelona star Ronald Araujo is set to become Juventus’ first signing of January 2025 after the Bianconeri made significant progress in their discussions with the player’s camp. This development comes as Juventus looks to strengthen its defensive line for the remainder of the season, a need that has been evident due to its recent struggles at the back. Araujo has been plagued by injuries over the last couple of years, which have limited his playing time and consistency. The defender has only recently returned to action following his latest layoff. However, Juventus appears undeterred by his fitness record, believing he can make a significant impact once fully integrated into their squad. According to Juve FC sources, Juventus have agreed personal terms with the player, it is now just a case of agreeing terms with Barca. Barcelona are reportedly open to parting ways with Araujo, as the defender’s injuries have complicated his role within the team. Juventus are now focusing on negotiating a loan deal with the Catalan club that would include an option to make the move permanent at the end of the season. While financial terms are yet to be finalised, Juventus are optimistic about securing his signature in the coming days. ............ The 25-year-old defender has proven himself to be one of Europe’s finest when fully fit, earning a reputation for his physicality, tactical awareness, and ability to dominate in one-on-one situations. Araujo’s potential arrival in Turin could help address Juventus’ defensive vulnerabilities and provide a boost as they aim to compete for domestic and European honours in the second half of the season. ............ .

Luciano Moggi says Motta has not added anything to Juventus Juventus continues to struggle this season, with Thiago Motta yet to deliver the transformative impact expected of him when he was appointed manager at the start of the campaign. After a disappointing three-year spell under Max Allegri, Motta’s arrival was heralded as the beginning of a new and more promising chapter for the club. However, the Brazilian-Italian manager has been unable to reverse their fortunes so far, as the team struggles with inconsistency and poor performances. ............ Former Juventus executive Luciano Moggi has now weighed in on the team’s current struggles, expressing disappointment at Motta’s inability to revitalise the squad. Speaking following the loss to Milan, Moggi stated: “The other semi-final, Milan-Juventus, was won by Milan, despite both teams going through a difficult period. The substitutions made by the Milan coach were more effective than those of the Juventus coach, who has not brought anything good to his team so far.” This criticism highlights the growing concerns among fans and pundits about Motta’s suitability for the role. While Juventus brought in new players during the summer, the team has failed to gel under the new manager, and the lack of progress is becoming increasingly apparent. ............ .

La Repubblica: Juventus agree deal with Barcelona for Ronald Araújo Juventus have made a decisive move to bolster their defence by securing the services of Ronald Araujo from Barcelona. According to recent reports from La Repubblica, the Uruguayan defender is now poised to make the switch to Turin. The Bianconeri had already received the player’s approval a few days ago, and now they have reportedly reached an agreement with Barcelona. ............ Following this development, Barcelona has given the green light for Araujo’s departure. The 25-year-old is expected to arrive in Turin next week for medical examinations and to sign his contract with Juventus. While further confirmation is awaited, this move would address Juventus’ most pressing defensive need: finding a replacement for Gleison Bremer. Araujo is known for his one-on-one defensive skills, aerial ability, and good pace, making him an ideal fit for the Bianconeri’s backline. ............ .

Juventus breathe a sigh of relief: Medical tests confirm no lesions for Conceiçao Francisco Conceiçao underwent medical examinations at JMedical, Juventus’ medical center, following concerns about his fitness. The Portuguese winger had been forced to withdraw from the starting lineup just before the Supercoppa Italiana semi-final against Milan in Riyadh due to discomfort in his right leg flexor. The tests, which lasted just over half an hour, have confirmed the initial diagnosis: there are no lesions to the muscle. This news comes as a relief to the Bianconeri, who were anxious about the extent of Conceiçao’s injury after he left the field in tears before the match against his father Sergio’s Milan side. Juventus will now monitor Conceiçao’s condition day by day to determine if he can recover in time for the upcoming Turin derby against Torino. ............ The 22-year-old winger’s availability is particularly significant given the team’s recent setback in the Supercoppa. ............ .

Danilo tells Juventus he wants to move to Serie A rivals Danilo has now made it clear to Juventus that he wants to join Napoli, following weeks of speculation about his future. The defender has effectively been removed from the club’s plans as Juventus looks to make room for new signings in the January transfer window. He was notably left at home when the rest of the squad travelled for the Super Cup, an indication that his time at Juventus is coming to an end. Danilo has reportedly accepted his situation and is ready to move on. ............ Danilo’s preferred destination is Napoli, a move that has been widely speculated in recent weeks. The report claims that the defender has now formally requested that Juventus allow him to join Napoli, and talks between the two clubs are expected to intensify in the coming days. ............ Although selling to a rival may seem like a bold decision, the club may see this as the right opportunity to let Danilo go. Given his contract situation, if Juventus waits too long, Danilo could run down his deal and eventually join Napoli on a free transfer. ............ .

Araujo says ‘yes’ to joining Juventus? Juventus have ramped up their efforts to secure the services of Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo, as the Turin giants look to bolster their backline in the January transfer window. The Uruguayan center-back should have already given his approval to a potential move to the Bianconeri, signalling his readiness for a new challenge. ............ Araujo, who holds a Spanish passport, could be Juventus’ first acquisition of the winter market. The defender’s willingness to join Juventus stems from his current situation at Barcelona, where he faces uncertainty regarding his playing time. Having recently returned from a long-term injury that side-lined him for most of the season, Araujo made his comeback appearance just days ago, completing a full 90 minutes. ............ Araujo’s current contract with Barcelona runs until 2026, with an annual salary of €6 million. ............ .

Niclas Füllkrug becomes latest option in Juventus’ hunt for a new striker It is January, and that means Juventus finally having the chance to address the depth issues that Thiago Motta has dealt with for much of the 2024-25 season. ............ Juventus have added West Ham striker Niclas Füllkrug to their list of options up front to try and sign during the winter transfer window. He is now the third striker to be linked with a move to Juventus this month, along with Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee and Paris Saint’Germain’s Randal Kolo Muani. Much like a potential move for Kolo Muani, the 31-year-old Füllkrug would likely arrive on loan for the second half of the season — something that West Ham are considering this month. Described as Germany’s “unsung hero” during his country’s run at last summer’s European Championship, Füllkrug made a big-money move from Borussia Dortmund to the Premier League following his exploits during the tournament worth a reported £27 million. However, things certainly haven’t gone as well with West Ham as they did when playing for Germany on German soil a few months earlier. ............ .

Why did key Juventus man visit the J Medical centre today? This morning, news emerged that Dusan Vlahovic had visited the J Medical Centre, leaving Juventus fans surprised, as they had expected only Francisco Conceicao to make an appearance. ............ However, supporters can breathe a sigh of relief, as Il Bianconero has provided clarity on why the Serbian striker stopped by the medical facility. According to their report, Vlahovic’s visit was purely routine, and it had nothing to do with a new injury. The striker spent only a few minutes at the centre, and he is expected to be fully fit and available to feature in Juventus’ next game. ............ .

Man United offered chance to sign Juventus star in Joshua Zirkzee swap proposal? Manchester United have reportedly been offered the chance to sign Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic in a potential swap deal involving Joshua Zirkzee. The Netherlands international has struggled to produce his best form since he completed a £35.3m move from Bologna in the summer transfer window. ............ The Italian giants have offered the Red Devils the opportunity to sign Vlahovic in a proposal which would see Zirkzee reunite with former Bologna boss Thiago Motta. Zirkzee impressed under Motta at Bologna last season, scoring 11 goals and providing five assists in 34 Serie A matches to help the club achieve Champions League qualification. The swap proposal would provide Juventus with an instant replacement for Vlahovic, who is out of contract in the summer of 2026. ............ While there is no doubt about Vlahovic's goalscoring talents, the Serbian is not quite as mobile as Zirkzee and may struggle to contribute to their build-up play away from the penalty box. Vlahovic would also likely want guarantees over starting opportunities, meaning that Rasmus Hojlund would have to settle for a bench role. With all that in mind, Man United may be reluctant to push for Vlahovic and may be keen to persist with Zirkzee in the second half of the season. .

Juventus eye Niclas Füllkrug as potential striker addition Juventus are actively seeking to bolster its attacking options during the current transfer window, with several names emerging as potential targets. Among these is Niclas Füllkrug, the German International currently at West Ham United, who has caught the attention of the Bianconeri. Füllkrug, who will turn 32 in February, joined West Ham in the summer following a successful season with Borussia Dortmund, where he played a pivotal role in their run to the UEFA Champions League final. However, his time in England has been challenging. This season, he has made only nine appearances in the Premier League, scoring two goals and providing one assist. His limited playing time has raised questions about his future at the club. ............ The Italian side are reportedly open to acquiring players on loan or those nearing the end of their contracts due to financial constraints after significant summer spending. ............ .

“Vlahovic doesn’t have great technique” – Capello explains why Motta desperately needs Man Utd star Fabio Capello believes Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee has what it takes to solve many problems for Juventus. ............ In recent months, the Dutchman has been heavily linked with a move to Turin. The Old Lady is looking to sign the struggling forward on loan from Man Utd. While it remains to be seen if the Serie A giants will be successful in their attempts, Capello is absolutely in favour of the rumoured move. The legendary Italian manager considers Zirkzee as the ideal profile to unlock the style of football that Motta has been trying to implement since his arrival at Continassa. The former Real Madrid, Juventus and England manager believes the Netherlands international can succeed where Dusan Vlahovic is failing, mainly due to his different attributes. “Zirkzee is the player who sews together the whole game that Thiago Motta would like to play,” said the 78-year-old in his interview. “Vlahovic does not have great technique, he is more of a penalty area man. If you don’t get him into the penalty box, it becomes difficult for him to play. “When Motta takes him off, it is because he believes that Vlahovic is not part of the game system that he wants, it is both a tactical and technical choice.” ............ .

Ecco perché é importante che in dirigenza ci siano persone che hanno esperienza in bianconero da ex-calciatori. Mi auguro che l'organizzazione all'interno della Juventus sia ancora quella che racconta Vieira in questo video.
