Manchester City midfielder offered to Juventus Juventus have reportedly been offering the services of Manchester City legend Ilkay Gundogan, so they now have a decision to make. The Bianconeri have recently sent Douglas Luiz back to the Premier League after agreeing a loan with an obligation to buy with Nottingham Forest. Therefore, the management is expected to add a replacement in the middle of the park. ............ The 34-year-old is widely considered one of the best central midfielders of his generation. After making a name for himself during his spell at Borussia Dortmund, he joined Man City in 2016, and went on to establish himself as an essential player in Pep Guardiola’s tactical jigsaw. ............ The experienced midfielder still has another year on his contract, but he has already become an afterthought at Guardiola’s court. The Spanish manager left him on the bench in the club’s first two Premier League fixtures of the season. Therefore, Man City would be willing to release Gundogan on favourable terms which would pave the way for his transfer to Juventus. Nevertheless, it remains to be seen if the Bianconeri will decide to pursue the Germany international, or opt for a younger profile. ............ .

Como tells Juventus to pay €70 million for their target Juventus are continuing to explore options in the transfer market, and one of the players who has caught its attention is Nico Paz. The midfielder enjoyed an impressive campaign with Como last season, establishing himself as one of the brightest young talents in Serie A. His progress has not gone unnoticed, and the Bianconeri are among the clubs monitoring his situation closely. Como benefited significantly from the influence of Cesc Fabregas, whose coaching helped to shape the performances of several players, including Paz. Under his guidance, the youngster flourished and became a central figure in the team’s success, playing a vital role as the club adapted to life in Serie A following their promotion. His maturity and technical ability drew attention from across Europe, with Real Madrid also keeping a close eye on his progress. ............ Juventus have now approached Como to explore the possibility of securing Paz’s services during this transfer window. However, their ambitions appear to have been met with resistance. Como has communicated a clear stance, placing a €70 million valuation on the midfielder. This figure is seen as a strong message that the club have no intention of selling their prized asset. For Juventus, the price tag poses a significant obstacle. ............ While Juventus admire Paz’s talent, the reality is that the club may be better served by pursuing alternative midfield options. ............ .

PRENDILO, PRENDILO MAX!

Tudor provides update on Bremer and Kolo Muani ahead of Juventus season opener On Sunday evening, Juventus kick off their 2025-26 Serie A campaign at the Allianz Stadium, welcoming Carlos Cuesta’s Parma as Igor Tudor’s Bianconeri look to get their season off to a winning start. Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Tudor underlined the excitement of returning to competitive action, “These are great emotions. I like when you play and there is something at stake. I don’t like pre-season, the friendlies. The team is ready, we want to start well. The players have trained well and the feelings are positive.” ............ “Koopmeiners played a great match in Bergamo, he’s important for us, he’ll have a big season, even if a lot has already been said about him.” ............ Manuel Locatelli confirmed to be keeping the captain’s armband: “I’m happy he is here with us, he’s the captain. We’ll start again with the captain. The vice-captain will be Bremer, then there are Yildiz, Thuram and Gatti. This is the group of captains and this is the hierarchy.” ............ “Everyone moved well but we lacked a bit of freshness in this preparation, even with two good wins. I expect more freshness and always something extra. We must push forward with as many players as possible but without losing balance or risking counters. Over time, the connections and understanding will improve, but we must always stay sharp.” Jonathan David, one of the Old Lady’s new signings this summer, earned specific praise from the coach: “He’s a good player, very focused, applied and that is what I like from strikers. When you tell him something, he does it. In the area he moves well, he is always dangerous. I’m happy with him. A good guy, a real professional.” ............ “I’m happy with the squad I have. The market is complicated but I focus on coaching. I trust my club, they know my thoughts. This is a good group of players and good guys.” ............ “For five years Juventus haven’t finished first or second. Saying we will be first, second or eighth doesn’t change a thing – they’re just words. These games of ‘favourites’ make me laugh. It’s smoke. The only thing that matters is working well. They say we are worth of fourth, fifth or sixth – that can only be a motivator.” . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/tudor-juventus-parma-press-conference/

Serie A Preview: Juventus vs Parma – Team News Line-ups & Prediction After five years without a Scudetto, Juventus head into their 2025/26 Serie A season opener against Parma keen to make a statement. Allianz Stadium is the venue as the record-time Italian champions seek a winning start that could set the tone for a long-awaited title charge. Despite suffering a joint-low four league defeats last season, Juventus sneaked into the top four by the skin of their teeth. Indeed, a 3-2 win at relegated Venezia on the final weekend saw the Turin powerhouse beat Roma to a coveted fourth place by a single point. ............ Tudor’s fate in the dugout will likely depend on Juve’s ability to compete for the title. Beating Parma would be a perfect way to kick off the season, but the visitors won’t arrive at the Allianz Stadium to make up the numbers. Instead, they’ll look to impress on Carlos Cuesta’s touchline debut in Serie A. As the third-youngest coach to ever debut in the top flight, Cuesta has a point to prove this season. The 30-year-old ended his stint as Mikel Arteta’s assistant manager at Arsenal to replace Cristian Chivu in June. Like his predecessor, Cuesta’s sole mission is to keep Parma clear of a relegation battle. Match Preview Juventus Though Juventus made plenty of noise in recent transfer windows, they’ve seemingly decided to keep a low profile this summer. Except for the arrival of Jonathan David from Lille on a free transfer, Joao Mario remains the only other senior addition. Juventus paid Porto around €12 million to sign the Portuguese fullback. However, they had to splash north of €100 million to make the transfers of Francisco Conceicao, Nico Gonzalez, Lloyd Kelly, and Pierre Kalulu permanent. But one more reinforcement toward the end of the summer remains a genuine possibility. Defensive solidity was the key behind Juventus’ top-four finish last term, with only reigning holders Napoli (19) keeping more clean sheets than the Bianconeri’s 18 in Serie A. Furthermore, they were among the division’s fastest starters in 2024/25, breaking the deadlock in the second-most 25 matches. Against this backdrop, they let Parma draw first blood in both last season’s meetings, failing to take three points on each occasion (D1, L1). Nonetheless, they are still far ahead of the Crusaders in the all-time head-to-head record (W35, D19, L14). Parma ............ Team News Juventus are still without Juan Cabal, who missed the better part of last season due to injury. However, star center-back Gleison Bremer is back from a lengthy spell on the sidelines and will likely be at the heart of Tudor’s backline. Meanwhile, David should lead the line at the expense of Dusan Vlahovic. ............ Juventus vs Parma Potential Starting Line-ups Juventus (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly; Mario, Thuram, Locatelli, Cambiaso; Conceicao, Yildiz; David. Parma (3-4-2-1): Suzuki; Delprato, Circati, Valenti; Lovik, Bernabe, Keita, Valeri; Almqvist, Ordonez; Pellegrino. Juventus vs Parma Prediction Anything other than three routine points for Juventus would be a major disappointment for the Turin club. However, the Bianconeri should take all three points and uphold their 100% win ratio in opening-day matches against Parma in Serie A (W4). Prediction: Juventus to Win .

Gonzalez will take a pay cut to help Spanish club sign him Nicolas Gonzalez is reportedly eager to finalise a move to Atletico Madrid this summer following the Spanish club’s interest in his signature. The Argentine forward has struggled to make an impact at Juventus since joining them a year ago, and he is understood to be one of the players the Bianconeri are looking to offload during the current transfer window. Juventus have been waiting for offers for Gonzalez, and days ago, Atletico Madrid expressed interest in signing him. ............ Gonzalez is said to be keen for a deal to materialise, making concessions to facilitate the move. The attacker has agreed to reduce his salary, reportedly accepting 3 million euros per season, down from the 3.5 million euros per season he currently earns. This adjustment reflects his willingness to prioritise the transfer and improve the likelihood of an agreement between the clubs. ............ The situation underscores the challenges of managing high-profile squad members who have not performed as expected, while also balancing financial considerations. Completing the transfer to Atletico Madrid would allow Juventus to reduce their wage bill and reinvest resources elsewhere, while giving Gonzalez the chance to revive his career in Spain. ............ .

Juventus wait for Crystal Palace offer for Kelly and target Arsenal defender Juventus are waiting for a formal bid from Crystal Palace for Lloyd Kelly and are planning to replace the English centre-back with Arsenal’s Jakub Kiwior. ............ The Old Lady is aware of Crystal Palace’s interest in Kelly, but is still waiting for an official offer. ............ Juventus could also receive Premier League offers for Nicolò Savona, a product of their academy, previously linked with Sunderland and Newcastle. Arsenal defender Kiwior is Juventus’ main target if Kelly leaves, but the ex-Spezia defender has attracted interest from other European clubs as well, especially Porto. .

Juventus targets RB Leipzig Openda as an alternative Kolo Muani Juventus are reported to be facing further challenges in their efforts to secure the signing of Randal Kolo Muani, and the club has now begun to consider alternative targets as the transfer window nears its conclusion. The French forward remains the priority, but contingency planning has become necessary with negotiations proving difficult. ............ Paris Saint-Germain, as Ligue 1 and Champions League holders, have been obliged to enter discussions with Juventus, and while there has been considerable dialogue between the clubs, an agreement has not yet been finalised. With only a few days remaining before the market closes, the lack of progress has left Juventus with little choice but to evaluate other options. ............ RB Leipzig’s Loïs Openda has been identified as a potential alternative should the pursuit of Kolo Muani ultimately fail. The report indicates that the Belgian striker is considered to have a strong profile that could complement the team effectively, offering qualities that would benefit the squad in several ways. Additionally, Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku has reportedly been proposed to the club as another possible solution. ............ .

Juventus identifies an alternative to Edon Zhegrova Juventus are reportedly keen to sign Edon Zhegrova from Lille during the current transfer window, and the Kosovo international has expressed a strong desire to join the Italian side. ............ Aware of the potential risk in their pursuit of Zhegrova, Juventus have identified an alternative option to strengthen their squad. The club has set their sights on AC Milan’s Alexis Saelemaekers as a viable alternative should the Lille deal fail to materialise. Saelemaekers has been involved in several pre-season games for Milan this summer, yet the Rossoneri is reportedly open to his sale if the right offer is made. Juventus view him as a suitable replacement for Zhegrova, providing them with a contingency plan to reinforce their squad without delay. ............ The ongoing situation highlights the complexities Juventus face in the transfer market, where timing and negotiation are crucial. While Zhegrova remains the preferred target, the club’s proactive approach in identifying alternatives such as Saelemaekers demonstrates their determination to strengthen the squad regardless of potential obstacles. For the Bianconeri, the next few weeks will be decisive. Securing either Zhegrova or Saelemaekers will allow Juventus to enhance their options on the flanks and address areas of need ahead of the competitive season. ............ .

Juventus sets their asking price for defender they want to sell Juventus are reportedly looking to sell Tiago Djalo this summer, with Besiktas expressing interest in the Portuguese defender. Since his arrival at the club, Djalo has not featured in the Bianconeri’s long-term plans, and he spent the previous season on loan at FC Porto. ............ The Bianconeri are actively seeking a solution to facilitate his departure, and Besiktas have now emerged as a potential destination. Juventus are reportedly willing to sanction a transfer and has communicated its asking price to the Turkish club. The Bianconeri require five million euros to complete the deal. ............ While Djalo’s time at Porto did not unfold as expected, a move to Besiktas could provide him with the chance to revive his career and gain regular playing time. Juventus, for their part, appear motivated to finalise the transfer and remove a player who no longer fits into their plans. ............ .

Caratteristiche tecniche di Moreira secondo wikipedia Esterno sinistro in grado di giocare su entrambi i lati dell'attacco, Moreira è descritto come un giocatore dotato di una grande velocità, esplosivo e tecnicamente dotato, eccellendo soprattutto nel dribblare gli avversari. È paragonato a grandi fantasisti del calibro dell'ex nazionale portoghese Nani.

No, non é disponibile a lasciare la squadra del Paradiso per la Juve. Non sará come Lukaku peró si avvicina con il suo 1,88 per 80 kg.

LOSC warning Zhegrova is not closer to Juventus move Lille President Olivier Letang confirmed talks with Juventus for Edon Zhegrova, but insisted ‘the door was a little more open then than it is today.’ ............ In a press conference today, LOSC President Letang laid out the situation from his point of view. “He trained with us, he’s here and at the disposal of the coach,” said Letang. “This is because there’s a good chance he will be with us this season. I know (Juventus director) Damien Comolli very well, we’ve spoken several times since he took over at Juventus. “It’s true we had some discussions a few weeks ago. The door was perhaps a little more open then than it is today. My position is that Edon is staying with us this season. “Besides, at this moment, we have not received an offer. The Italian media tend to get carried away. There is no agreement at all and no discussion of Edon departing for Italy.” ............ The Italian media has reported that Zhegrova agreed personal terms with Juventus and would give them the preference for the next step in his career. ............ .

Locatelli excited for ‘new energy’ at Juventus Juventus captain Manuel Locatelli has revealed there is a “new energy” at the Bianconeri, as the Old Lady prepare for their opening fixture of the new Serie A season against Parma on Sunday. ............ “On Sunday, we kick off,” the central midfielder said as he began answering the questions, “We are very excited to get started. We cannot wait for the league to begin and we will be in front of our fans.” Locatelli then confessed his thoughts on Juventus’ 2024-25 campaign, which was overall disappointing despite the Bianconeri qualifying for the Champions League, “Last year was certainly a long season but now we have got new energy. We had a good pre-season and I think the work we did in Germany was useful – so we are happy and full of energy to start this new campaign.” ............ When asked about Tudor, Locatelli replied “The coach is very fired up. He is definitely different to the managers we’ve had before. He asks for a lot of intensity, a lot of discipline but I think the most important thing is that he knows the DNA of this shirt… so we are already starting from a solid base.” ............ Locatelli scored the winning goal from the penalty spot in Juventus’ 3-2 final day victory over Venezia last season; a victory that saw the Bianconeri pip Roma to Champions League qualification by just one point. When asked about his decisive goal, the captain responded: “That ball was incredibly heavy, of course. However, I am the captain of this team and in these moments, I have to take responsibility. So I am very excited and proud of what I did. “It was a big responsibility but now we have a whole season ahead of us to play, a season full of new goals. That penalty helped us qualify for the Champions League but I am very happy and proud of the work we did together as a team.” .

Preview: Juventus vs Parma - prediction, team news, lineups Again hoping to reclaim the Serie A title, fallen giants Juventus will kick off another league campaign on Sunday evening, when they welcome Parma to Turin. The Bianconeri endured more strife last season, before salvaging a precious top-four finish; meanwhile, their Gialloblu counterparts successfully avoided relegation. Match preview Previously Serie A champions for nine straight years, Juventus have now failed to claim top spot in Serie A since 2020, only scraping into fourth place last term following yet another year of turmoil. The Turin club also made an early exit from the Champions League, as a repeated failure to convert draws into wins continually cost them dear: equalling a club record, they drew 20 games across all competitions. Almost inevitably, Thiago Motta was sacked before completing his first season; having been hired to replace Motta in March, interim boss Igor Tudor - a former Juve defender and assistant - impressively steadied the ship. After more boardroom ineptitude meant they failed to secure the signature of either Antonio Conte or Gian Piero Gasperini, Tudor was invited to extend his contract and lead Juventus into the new-look Club World Cup. Following some solid performances in the United States, where Juve went out in the last 16 to Real Madrid, a shortened pre-season schedule finished with last week's 2-1 win over Atalanta. Movement in the transfer market has been limited, as the Bianconeri continue to pay for past mistakes, but Jonathan David's arrival from Lille should inject some life into a misfiring front line. ............ Juventus pre-season form: D W W Parma form (all competitions): W Team News As an endless contract saga - and some shoddy finishing - has seen Dusan Vlahovic slip down the pecking order, Jonathan David is set lead the front line for Juventus. The Canadian striker has scored at least 15 goals in all of his last four Ligue 1 campaigns, and with Randal Kolo Muani still awaiting the chance to turn last season's loan into a permanent move, he will spearhead Juve's attack. Having followed another loanee, Francisco Conceicao, in joining the club from Porto this summer, Joao Mario may start on the right flank. While Nicolo Savona, Juan Cabal and Fabio Miretti are all ruled out by injury, Brazilian centre-back Bremer makes a welcome return. ............ Juventus possible starting lineup: Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly; Mario, Thuram, Locatelli, Cambiaso; Conceicao, Yildiz; David Parma possible starting lineup: Suzuki; Delprato, Circati, Valenti; Lovik, Bernabe, Keita, Valeri; Almqvist, Ordonez; Pellegrino ............ We say: Juventus 3-1 Parma To date, Juventus and Parma have faced each other four times on matchday one, with the Bianconeri winning all four games by an aggregate scoreline of 9-2. Juve will come out on top once again, as their new-look attack can hurt the visitors' dubious defence. .

Massimo Mauro backs Juventus to be tough to beat this season Juventus remain one of the leading contenders in Serie A, starting each season as one of the favourites to secure the league title. Despite a period of transition marked by changes in their squad, expectations among their supporters remain high as the transfer window nears its conclusion. ............ Another point of distinction for Juventus lies in their managerial stability. They are among the few leading Italian clubs that have not changed managers during the summer and are one of only two teams from last season’s top four that retained their coach. This continuity could serve as an advantage in a season where many rivals face the task of adapting to new leadership. Nonetheless, the onus remains on the squad to demonstrate its quality on the pitch against determined opposition. ............ Massimo Mauro offered his perspective on the club’s prospects: “Juventus is at the same point as a month ago, but they have a coach who hasn’t put a foot wrong. He’s there to solve the team’s problems. He’s treated everyone equally and he can’t do more than that. It will be a difficult Juve to beat, they will have pride and enthusiasm, as is their old habit, as is in their DNA: this will be the guarantee of a good championship when the team is complete, in a market with so many difficulties buying and selling.” ............ .

How much difference between Juventus and Atletico Madrid in Gonzalez talks Juventus and Atletico Madrid are continuing negotiations over a potential transfer for Nicolas Gonzalez, with the player keen on a move to Spain. The Argentine attacker has found himself out of favour since Igor Tudor replaced Thiago Motta, who had originally brought him to the club. His lack of playing time has fuelled speculation that his departure from Turin is now only a matter of time. ............ Juventus are open to selling Gonzalez in this window in order to create space for reinforcements. The Bianconeri are seeking a fee of €25 million for his signature. While this figure is lower than what they initially paid Fiorentina to bring him in, it is considered an acceptable valuation by Juventus given the circumstances. Atletico Madrid, however, view the asking price as excessive. The Spanish club are currently offering around €15 million, leaving a difference of €10 million between the two positions. For any deal to progress, this gap will need to be resolved through further negotiations. Both sides remain engaged in preliminary discussions, and there is cautious optimism that common ground could eventually be found. ............ For Gonzalez, the chance to join Diego Simeone’s side is a significant motivation. A move to La Liga would provide him with the opportunity to revitalise his career in a new environment, under a manager known for maximising the potential of hardworking forwards. Juventus, meanwhile, will be keen to ensure they do not undervalue an asset who, even if not a regular starter, remains a player of quality and potential. The coming weeks are expected to be decisive. ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/how-much-difference-between-juventus-and-atletico-madrid-in-gonzalez-talks/

Arthur expected to complete Gremio return today Arthur Melo is reportedly on the verge of sealing a loan move back to Gremio from Juventus, with the deal said to be close to completion and possibly finalised within hours. The Brazilian midfielder began his professional career with Gremio before making the switch to Europe, initially joining Barcelona. ............ Arthur has been out of Juventus’ long-term plans for several seasons. Despite joining pre-season training with the rest of the squad this summer under Igor Tudor, his involvement was not considered an indication of reintegration into the first team. ............ Gremio believe they have reached an agreement with Juventus and are confident of finalising the deal soon. The move would see Arthur rejoin his boyhood club on loan, giving him the opportunity to revive his career in familiar surroundings. The transfer, once completed, would represent a homecoming for the midfielder, offering him the chance to rebuild his form and consistency in an environment where he first made his name. ............ .

Official: Juventus sell Douglas Luiz to Nottingham Forest Juventus have officially announced the sale of midfielder Douglas Luiz to Premier League side Nottingham Forest in a permanent deal, just one year after he joined the Bianconeri from Aston Villa for a total package of €31.5m. ............ Douglas Luiz will technically move on an initial season-long loan deal at a cost of €3m, with a conditional obligation to buy set at €25m, which is payable over four instalments, plus bonuses of up to €3.5m, which if achieved, will take the full cost of the deal up to €31.5m. The Old Lady have decided to cut their losses on the Brazilian, who joined the club for a fee of €50m from Aston Villa last summer. ............ “Best of luck for the future, Douglas!,” Juventus wrote in a statement on the club website.

Juventus frustrated as PSG raise asking price for Kolo Muani The seemingly never-ending transfer saga of Randal Kolo Muani has reportedly taken a new turn, as Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain are still struggling to finalise the transfer. ............ In recent weeks, it has been constantly reported that Juve and PSG are very close to reaching a definitive agreement, and yet, the white smoke has yet to emerge. The Champions League winners have decided to raise their asking price to a whopping €70 million, a figure that the Old Lady certainly doesn’t intend to meet. As the source explains, the Serie A giants have been hoping to sign Kolo Muani on loan (for around €10m) with an obligation to buy set at €45 million. Nevertheless, PSG are gunning for higher figures, as they’re determined to avoid registering a capital loss on a player who cost them a transfer fee of €90 million upon his arrival from Eintracht Frankfurt just two years ago. ............ At this stage, it remains to be seen if Juventus will be able to solve this knot and reunite Kolo Muani with his Juventus teammates who have been waiting for his return. ............ .
