Official: Juventus sign Kolo Muani on loan from PSG Juventus have finally been able to officially announce the signing of Randal Kolo Muani on loan from Paris Saint-Germain after red tape delays. The deal is a dry loan until June 30, so there is no option to buy at the end of the season. ............ Just hours later, Juventus were finally able to announce the arrival of Kolo Muani. It means the France international will be available for Saturday’s Serie A match against leaders Napoli. The 26-year-old came through the FC Nantes academy and shot to fame at Eintracht Frankfurt, earning a €95m transfer to Paris Saint-Germain in September 2023. He scored two goals with one assist in 14 competitive games for PSG so far this season. . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/official-juventus-sign-kolo-muani-on-loan-psg/

Not just Veiga – Juventus & Chelsea discussing another player Juventus and Chelsea are working on finalizing their agreement for Renato Veiga, but their dialogue could also involve Douglas Luiz. The Bianconeri’s Football Director Cristiano Giuntoli reportedly blitzed to London to secure the Veiga deal. The 21-year-old Portuguese defender should seal a move to Turin in the coming days, signing for the Old Lady on a dry loan until the end of the season. But Chelsea have enquired about the availability of Douglas Luiz who had a difficult first of the season at Continassa. ............ However, the 26-year-old endured a miserable first half of the season between injuries and physical issues. While his situation has slightly improved as of late thanks to a few starting appearances, he remains far from the star who delighted Villa Park in previous years. As the source explains, Juventus are only willing to consider a permanent sale, as it would help them fund other operations on the market. They might also be open to a loan move if it includes an obligation to buy. ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/not-just-veiga-juventus-chelsea-discussing-another-player-douglas-luiz/

Conte: Napoli have ‘respect’ for Juventus, but ‘unbeatable teams don’t exist’ Antonio Conte believes that Napoli need the utmost respect for Juventus given that they are still unbeaten in Serie A this season, even if they have drawn 13 of their 21 league matches, but insists that Thiago Motta’s unbeaten league record has to come to an end ‘sooner or later’. ............ The Partenopei boss began his chat with the press with a moment of reflection given that it is now 14 years since he became head coach of Juventus. “14 years ago, well, most of my life in football was spent there, and it was great. A great lesson in every aspect. I try to be better, not just compared to those times, but also compared to 24 hours ago. We have a duty to improve every day. I feel much more complete as a coach, I’m 55 years old, I’ve had great experiences abroad at great clubs,” Conte said. ............ Juventus are the only team to still be unbeaten in Serie A after 21 matches, but the Bianconeri have drawn criticism for the fact that the majority of those matches have resulted in draws. Conte is not one of those critics, but he does warn that unbeatable teams ‘don’t exist’. “Juventus are unbeaten in 21 games, no team has managed to beat them, so all these comments are not quite right. Lots of those draws could have been wins, which is what has created this gap. Let’s not forget that last year we were 18-20 points off Juventus. ............ Unbeatable teams don’t exist, you have to lose sooner or later. Defeat is a part of life. They are a team with strong players and last year they picked up a lot of points near the top. They had an excellent transfer window, they are in the Champions League, they are a top club, like the Milan clubs, you always have to have a lot of respect. “You can’t hide there, but the goal is always to win.” ............ .

Thiago Motta frustrated with Juventus attackers: “I played six, but only one did well” Juventus coach Thiago Motta didn’t like what he saw from his attacking band in the Champions League contest against Club Brugge. ............ For his part, Motta was disappointed with the displays of his attacking options who failed to create much in the attacking third, whether those who started the contest, or the ones that came off the bench in the second half. The only exception was Samuel Mbangula who did enough against his former employers to earn a decent rating on the manager’s book, although the 21-year-old was hooked in the second half. “Mbangula was the only one who was decent,” said Motta. “I played six forwards, but only one, Mbangula, did well. “No one attempted a dribble or tried to attack in depth. Only Mbangula did it. I expected much more from the other five.” In the middle of the second half, the two wingers were replaced by Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceicao, but too little effect, while Dusan Vlahovic came in for Gonzalez in the final stretch, but it was another miserable cameo for the Serbian striker who can’t just catch a break these days. .

The free fall – Why Vlahovic could soon become third choice at Juventus While he was an omnipresent figure in the Juventus starting lineup at the start of the season, Dusan Vlahovic could be set for a major fall from grace. The Serbian bomber is the club’s biggest investment since signing Cristiano Ronaldo, and is currently the highest earner in Serie A with a net salary of 12 million euros per year. So despite being the club’s leading goalscorer in each of the most recent campaigns (and the current one), most fans and pundits believe he hasn’t done enough to justify these hefty figures. ............ Nico Gonzalez is proving to be a more convincing option for Motta, despite his almost non-existent goal contribution. ............ And while Gonzalez hasn’t been prolific in front of goal, many have noted that the team plays better with him in the lineup, as at least they manage to move the ball smoothly in the attacking third and maintain possession. Moreover, Randal Kolo Muani has been training with his new Juventus teammates in recent days. ............ Hence, the Frenchman’s arrival could push Vlahovic further down the pecking order, potentially leaving him third on the list. .

Official: Juventus secure spot in Champions knockout stage Juventus have officially qualified to the knockout stage of the Champions League despite settling for a disappointing draw against Club Brugge. The Bianconeri have thus far collected 12 points from the first seven matchdays of the Europa League stage, registering three wins, three draws and one defeat. ............ At the moment, Juventus sit 17th in the 36-team table, but their 12 points is enough to secure a spot in the knockout stage. With 25th-placed Man City only having 8 points in the tally, the Old Lady is certain to finish among the Top 24 sides. The Bianconeri will end their group-stage campaign by hosting Benfica at the Allianz Stadium, and they’ll be gunning for a victory in an attempt to break into the Top 8 which will allow them to qualify directly for the Round of 16, otherwise, they will have to go through a play-off round with two more matches added to their already congested schedule. Nevertheless, even a victory over the Portuguese giants might prove insufficient on that front, as it will hinge on the results of the other fixtures. ............ .

Kolo Muani freed for Juventus move and choses squad number Randal Kolo Muani’s move to Juventus is expected to be announced on Thursday as his move from PSG has now been ‘unblocked’, and the Frenchman has already decided which squad number to take at the Allianz Stadium having trained with his new teammates at the start of the week. ............ Kolo Muani’s move to Juventus is expected to be announced on Thursday. The Frenchman has decided to wear the no.20 shirt for the remainder of the 2024-25 season. .

Napoli vs. Juventus: Head-to-head record and past meetings Napoli and Juventus lock horns in one of the most eagerly-anticipated fixtures in the Italian football calendar on Saturday evening. A rivalry that began when Napoli rose to prominence with Diego Maradona in their ranks in the 1980s, this is essentially a battle between north and south, with Juve the biggest club in the north, and Napoli representing the south. Intense title battles between the two took place in the 1980s, as well as the 2010s, but the two also shared a season in Serie B back in 2006-07, with both winning promotion, and they have competed at the top table ever since. ............ Head-to-head record Previous meetings: 183 Napoli wins: 47 Draws: 51 Juventus wins: 85 Despite the domination Juventus enjoyed in Serie A throughout the 2010s, Napoli have always proven a difficult opponent for the Bianconeri, especially in recent years. Both sides recorded a win on home soil against each other in the 2023-24 campaign, but Napoli held Juventus to a 0-0 in Turin when they met in September. ............

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. ............ .

C'é anche da dire che vincendo il City raggiungerebbe a 11 punti il Brugge. Potrebbero anche fare un biscotto e passare entrambe eliminando lo Stoccarda o lo Sporting.

Dai siamo seri. Hai visto come difende il Brugge? 19 risultati utili consecutivi. Non sará in ogni caso una passeggiata per gli inglesi.

Ma non mi sembra scontata la vittoria del City contro il Brugge.

Kolo Muani gets all-clear for Juventus as PSG sell Bernat Paris Saint-Germain have sold Juan Bernat to Villarreal, therefore allowing Juventus to register Randal Kolo Muani for the showdown with Napoli. ............ This is due to the fact PSG have already filled their limit of players available out on loan abroad and could not legally release another until that was resolved. They needed to sell someone and Sky Sport Italia report that has now happened, with Bernat’s contract terminated by mutual consent so he can sign a six-month deal with Villarreal, where he was already on loan. ............ This means Kolo Muani should be available for Juventus in the Serie A showdown with leaders Napoli on Saturday. ............ .

Motta admits Juventus were not creative enough to beat Club Brugge Thiago Motta has admitted that his Juventus team lacked creativity in their Champions League match against Club Brugge last night, ultimately failing to secure a win. ............ Despite Juventus’s confidence and aspirations for a positive result, the encounter was more challenging than anticipated. Brugge’s well-organised structure posed significant difficulties for the Binaconeri, restricting their attacking players to minimal opportunities. Throughout the game, Juventus struggled to break through Brugge’s disciplined defensive setup. It was not until late in the match that the visitors managed their first shot on target, while the hosts failed to register any attempts on target themselves. ............ “All the teams that have passed by here have had difficulty playing with this team that closes very well and defends very well, always leaving one more behind. We also had difficulties, without suffering but not creating something sufficient to be able to win the match. It’s a shame because we could have done better tonight, always respecting the opponent, and also without taking away credit from them who have created great difficulties for other teams during the whole match and also on the counterattack they took the lead not allowing the opponent to get back into the game. We instead suffered very little creating not enough to be able to win.” ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/motta-admits-juventus-were-not-creative-enough-to-beat-club-brugge/

Di Canio: Juventus ‘predictable’ and ‘too tidy’ against Club Brugge Former Lazio and West Ham star Paolo Di Canio criticised Juventus for being too focused on not ‘taking risks’ and playing ‘too tidy’ in the last third in Tuesday’s goalless draw in the Champions League against Club Brugge. According to the former player the Bianconeri’s difficulties in creating and capitalising on chances depend on their tendency to play safe, which often leads them to dominate possession without being able to convert it into clear opportunities. ............ Di Canio stressed how individual plays are currently Juventus’ only way to become less ‘predictable’. “I get not wanting to take risks in front of the defence, but in the final third, you can’t play it too clean,” the 56-year-old said analysing the match. ............ “They’re missing that one-on-one upfront and the killer ball. In the last 25-30 meters, Juventus are playing it too tidy, and they become predictable unless Mbangula, Yildiz, or Conceição manage to create something out of nothing.” ............ .

Locatelli impressed with Brugge’s system as he admits Juventus could have done more Manuel Locatelli has shared his thoughts on Juventus’ goalless draw against Club Brugge in the Champions League last night, acknowledging that the team could have done more to secure a better result. ............ The game unfolded as a highly tactical battle, with both sides focusing on defensive solidity, which stifled each team’s attacking opportunities. Juventus struggled to overcome Brugge’s well-drilled system that effectively neutralised the Bianconeri’s key attacking threats. Similarly, Juventus remained solid at the back, ensuring that Brugge also found it difficult to create clear chances. Reflecting on the match, Locatelli admitted that it was a tough contest but expressed optimism about the team’s qualification prospects. He said: “It was a difficult match. I think they prepared well: they were quite closed, but they pressed in a concentrated manner. With this point we can qualify for the playoffs, even if we have the last match at home against Benfica that we want to beat, since we are at home. I think it was a good match, even if we could have done more.” ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/locatelli-impressed-with-brugges-system-as-he-admits-juventus-could-have-done-more/

Juventus sets a new asking price for exciting youngster Juventus have reportedly set a new asking price for Samuel Mbangula, a player who has continued to impress as part of their team this season. The Belgian youngster has risen through the ranks of Juve’s Next Gen squad, a system the club has relied on heavily to develop new talents. ............ Earlier in the season, reports suggested Juventus valued Mbangula at around €8 million. However the club now considers the player to be worth significantly more. The report claims Juventus will not entertain offers below €30 million for the Belgian, underlining the progress he has made and his growing importance to the team. ............ Selling Mbangula at this stage would be a difficult decision for Juventus, given his impact and the likelihood that his value could increase further with continued development. While his market value has soared, the club should prioritise retaining him to ensure long-term stability and success. ............ .

Juventus player ratings v Club Brugge – Average marks across the team Juventus played a goalless draw against Club Brugge in the Champions League last night – here is our players’ rating.

Timothy Weah – 5,5 ............ Nicholas Gonzalez – 5.5 This was not a good day for Juventus’ attack; he should have done better. Substitutes Kenan Yildiz – 5.5 Juve expects so much when he comes on, but he didn’t make any difference today.

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”. ............ .
