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. Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, wrote: “Nottingham Forest is delighted to announce the signing of Douglas Luiz, who joins from Juventus. ............ .

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

Joao Mario reveals Tudor’s demands and ‘main support’ at Juventus New Juventus defender Joao Mario reveals Igor Tudor’s demands made him feel ‘comfortable’ and admits his ‘main support’ in Turin is his compatriot Francisco Conceiçao. New Juventus signing Joao Mario was unveiled at an official press conference on Thursday. “The first days have been incredible. I’ve felt really good with this team so far. I’m part of a group with great quality, and settling in has been easy,” the Portuguese said. “We’ve worked hard to prepare ourselves in the best way for the season.” ............ “Juventus are a big club with a great history. I am proud to be here, and I’m motivated to help the team. I want to contribute to achieving as many victories as possible, which this club deserves. ............ “The coach’s demands are for an attacking style of football that makes me feel comfortable,” Joao Mario replied. “That has definitely helped my adaptation as well. I need to be an offensive player and help the team. I’ve tried to improve day by day, and I feel I have, but the goal is to keep improving. Serie A is definitely a competitive league with great intensity, which will help me improve defensively.” ............ “Francisco (Conceiçao) is my main support. I’ve known him for a long time,” admitted Joao Mario. “We used to play together on the right and spent a lot of time together. I’ve already built a good relationship with all my teammates, I’ve been welcomed really well, and I’ve bonded with everyone, on and off the pitch, which is very important to improve understanding and help the team. So, we’re prepared to approach the league in the best possible way.” ............ . Read more ->https://football-italia.net/joao-mario-tudor-demands-main-support-juventus/

Pedulla: Juventus pinpoint Chelsea outcast & Bundesliga star as Kolo Muani alternatives Juventus are no longer too confident about signing Randal Kolo Muani, so they have already identified two fallback options, including Nicolas Jackson. ............ The news circulating in the past 24 hours has been less reassuring, as PSG have seemingly raised their asking price, leaving the Serie A giants in a tough spot. According to Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla, Juventus don’t want to find themselves short-handed on the final days of the summer transfer window. Therefore, he reveals that the Old Lady has already lined up two alternatives to Kolo Muani. The transfer market expert believes that Juventus have enquired about Jackson, who is now surplus to requirements at Chelsea. ............ The 24-year-old has been put on the market, but the Club World Cup winners are seeking a substantial transfer fee, with some sources in the British media reporting an asking price tag of £80 million. ............ Pedulla also identifies Loïs Openda as another potential solution for the Bianconeri. The 25-year-old is a Belgian striker who rose through the ranks of Club Brugge. The centre-forward then had an experience at Lens before joining RB Leipzig in the summer of 2023 for €40 million. He has thus far made 91 appearances for the German club, scoring 41 goals and creating 18 assists. However, Openda wouldn’t come cheap either, as his value at €50 million, and also notes interest from Tottenham Hotspur. ............ .

Juventus optimistic about getting discount on Zhegrova Juventus are keen to sign Lille winger Edon Zhegrova, but they’re hoping to receive more favourable terms. The Bianconeri have already signed several players from the Ligue 1 side in recent years. They acquired the services of Timothy Weah in the summer of 2023, before snapping up Tiago Djalo six months later. The most recent case is Jonathan David who signed for the Serie A giants as a free agent after seeing out his contract with the French club. ............ The 26-year-old is a tricky left-footed winger who mainly plays on the right side before cutting to the middle. He is renowned for his fabulous technique and eye for goal. Nevertheless, Lille are determined to cash in on the player this summer, as his contract will expire next June. The club doesn’t want to lose another key star for free. ............ At the moment, Lille are seeking an asking price in the region of €20-25 million. However, the Serie A giants feel this would be an excessive figure for a player whose contract will expire in less than a year. Hence, Damien Comolli and Francois Modesto are optimistic about receiving a discount. While they would be happy to close the deal at €15 million, the two parties could reach a compromise somewhere down the middle. ............ .

Crystal Palace identify Lloyd Kelly as replacement for Marc Guehi Crystal Palace would reportedly turn to Juventus defender Lloyd Kelly if they end up selling Marc Guehi to Liverpool. ............ Palace would resort to Kelly as a like-for-like replacement for Guehi. The 26-year-old earned fame during his time at Bournemouth, before signing for Newcastle United as a free agent last summer. After failing to settle at St. James Park, the Magpies were happy to send him to Juventus in January, as they ended up banking a windfall worth €20 million. ............ In addition to Kelly, Juve’s defensive department contains Gleison Bremer, Federico Gatti, Pierre Kalulu, Daniele Rugani and Nicolo Savona. While Tudor seems satisfied with his current choices, Kelly’s departure would certainly shake things up, as a new signing would be needed at the back, preferrable a left-footed player. .

Atletico Madrid agree personal terms with Nico Gonzalez but Molina rejects exit Atletico Madrid continue to pursue more signings in the transfer market, with a move for Juventus winger Nicolas Gonzalez looking likely to be their next addition. It has been reported that Diego Simeone is keen for Los Colchoneros to bring in a new option out wide that can take on a defender. ............ Gonzalez has a ‘foot and a half’ inside Atletico Madrid. Juventus and Atletico are still discussing how to make the deal work, with a gap of €10m on valuation previously reported. It seems the 27-year-old is much closer to heading to Madrid than Nahuel Molina is to leaving it. ............ Both teams were also supposedly €10m apart on a valuation for Molina, but it seems the right-back will not be going to Turin even if they do reach an agreement. Molina has declined the opportunity to head in the opposite direction. ............ .

Sono d'accordo con te ma hanno preso Joao Mario che non é un terzino tradizionale per la difesa a quattro. Il difendere non é il suo punto forte. Invece é bravo quando si spinge in avanti. Lui stesso si paragona a Cancelo, un altro che non é proprio un terzino difensivo.

Personalmente penso che prendersi a pugni fra colleghi sia una cosa obbrobriosa al di lá dello scandalo sui media. A me non é mai passato per la mente di fare una cosa del genere. Ma purtroppo ci sono persone che credono di risolvere le questioni con la violenza piuttosto che con la pazienza e il dialogo.

Douglas Luiz sends 7-word message as he flies for Nottingham Forest medical Douglas Luiz thanked Juventus fans on Thursday morning, before flying out for his medical tests with Nottingham Forest. Douglas Luiz is on the verge of joining Nottingham Forest on an initial loan deal with an option to buy. ............ The Brazilian midfielder took a private flight from Turin Caselle Airport on Thursday morning. Reporters asked him to send a message to his former fans at Juventus, so he replied: ‘Un saluto a tutti, grazie per tutto,’ which means, ‘goodbye everyone, thanks for everything.’ ............ The ex-Aston Villa star will undergo medical tests with Forest in the coming hours before signing a €5m-a-year deal. ............ .

Romano reveals Juventus outcast set to leave the club on free transfer Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo could be on his way out of the club, with a return to Gremio looming on the horizon. The Brazilian began his playing career at the Porto Alegre-based club, before making his way to Europe through the gates of Barcelona in 2018. ............ While a transfer to Real Betis never materialised, Gremio suddenly emerged as a plausible destination. The Brazilian giants are determined to bring the 28-year-old back to the place that witnessed the dawn of his playing career. According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Gremio are currently embroiled in talks with Juventus, and both clubs are keen to find a solution. ............ The midfielder is tied to the Bianconeri with a contract valid until June 2027, and he currently weighs around €10 million on the club’s financial accounts. While his release would constitute a capital loss for Juventus, the club would be able to save more than €10 million in gross wages, hence why it represents an inviting opportunity for Damien Comolli and Co. .

Douglas Luiz flying for Nottingham Forest medical – Juventus market unlocked? Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz is reportedly heading to England to finalise his transfer to Nottingham Forest. ............ Luckily for Luiz, his positive spell at Aston Villa remains fresh in the memories of Premier League clubs, so several English top-flight clubs expressed their interest in his services. Nevertheless, Forest were the most determined, and eventually managed to reach an agreement with the player and Juventus. According to several sources in Italian football, Luiz will arrive in Nottingham on Thursday to undergo his medical. The Brazil international will then join Forest on loan with an option to buy, which would turn into an obligation under certain conditions, mainly related to the player’s number of appearances this season. ............ Juventus are expected to pocket loan fees in addition to a transfer fee next summer, which should be in the region of €30 million. Moreover, they’ll be able to chop Luiz’s name off the wage bill. Therefore, this transfer will allow the Serie A giants to pursue new signings, as their market has been blocked over the past few weeks. Thus far, they have only managed to sign Jonathan David and Joao Mario, in addition to buying Francisco Conceicao following his loan spell last season. Juve’s priority could be to recruit a direct replacement for Luiz in the middle of the park, and the first name on the list is Brighton’s Matt O’Riley. ............ .

Rabiot offers himself to Juventus with Chiellini contact Adrien Rabiot wants to return to Juventus and held talks with Giorgio Chiellini after the ugly split with Olympique Marseille, but Matt O’Riley of Brighton remains the favourite. ............ The Serie A side took this under advisement, but meanwhile director of sport Damien Comolli is working on Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder O’Riley as the ideal replacement once Douglas Luiz completes the transfer to Nottingham Forest. ............ He left Juventus as a free agent in 2024 when his contract was allowed to run down, but his experience at Olympique Marseille has already turned sour. He was officially put on the market this week following a brawl with teammate Jonathan Rowe, which it seems turned violent with punches thrown in the locker room. ............ .

Juventus must meet two conditions to sign Zhegrova Edon Zhegrova has already reached an agreement with Juventus, but the Bianconeri must lower Lille’s asking price and sell Nico Gonzalez. Juventus have targeted Lille star Zhegrova to strengthen their attack, but Italian sources claim the Serie A giants must meet two conditions to finalise the deal. ............ First of all, the Old Lady must sell Nico Gonzalez, who has attracted interest from Atletico Madrid. Juventus value the Argentine winger at €25/30m, but Atletico Madrid’s latest bid was worth €15m. The ex-Fiorentina star has already agreed to personal terms with the La Liga giants, but talks between the two clubs are ongoing. ............ Lille’s asking price is around €20/25m, but Juventus are working to bring it down, especially because the winger’s contract expires in June 2026 and he has already informed his club that he won’t extend it beyond this season. ............ .

Juventus captain Locatelli breaks his silence after improved Al-Ahli bid Juventus skipper Manuel Locatelli suddenly emerged as a transfer target for Al-Ahli, but he made his stance clear with a three-word message on social media. ............ Earlier this week, Fabrizio Romano revealed that Al-Ahli offered Juventus €25 million for Locatelli’s services, but it was swiftly turned down by the Old Lady. Nevertheless, it appears that this was merely the opening bid, as the Saudi Pro League giants are keen to bolster their squad with a top-notch midfielder. On Wednesday, it was reported that Al-Ahli returned with a new and improved offer. This time, the player decided to respond himself, albeit implicitly. Locatelli thus posted an image of himself celebrating with the Juventus fans as a story on his Instagram account, with the caption “Fino alla Fine”, which is a motto of the club. ............ Therefore, the message is hardly subtle, with the captain declaring his unquestionable desire to remain at Juventus for years to come. ............ .
