Antonio Conte is believed to be an admirer of the Juventus academy graduate and sees him as a player with the qualities to thrive at the top level. ............ While Juventus and Napoli negotiate the final terms of the deal, Miretti has agreed a four-year contract with the option of a further season.

Timothy Weah leaves the Juventus camp to complete Marseille move Timothy Weah is finally on the verge of completing a move to Olympique Marseille, bringing an end to a prolonged transfer saga that has extended over several weeks. The American winger has been available on the market since the conclusion of the season, with Juventus actively seeking a new destination for him. ............ There has finally been a breakthrough in talks, and the player has been granted permission to leave the Juventus training camp in order to complete his transfer to Olympique Marseille. This development suggests the move is now in its final stages, with only formalities such as medical examinations remaining before official confirmation. ............ The situation now appears to be resolved in a manner that satisfies all involved. ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/timothy-weah-leaves-the-juventus-camp-to-complete-marseille-move/

Manchester United rejects the chance to sign Juventus star Juventus and Dusan Vlahovic are currently exploring options for the striker’s future, as the Serbian international seeks a club where he can secure regular playing time in the upcoming season. With his contract set to expire next summer, the situation has become increasingly urgent for all parties involved. ............ Among the few clubs with the financial strength to complete a transfer of this magnitude is Manchester United. The English side are reportedly in the market for a striker, and their primary target has been Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig. However Manchester United have declined the opportunity to sign Vlahovic, despite being in a position to meet Juventus’ valuation. ............ Vlahovic will continue to compete for Juventus in the short term, but with his future unresolved, the club must work swiftly to identify a new solution. ............ .

Three Juventus outcasts could end up at Besiktas this summer Besiktas could offer Juventus a large hand in their quest to offload their fringe players, as the Turkish giants are reportedly interested in three unwanted Bianconeri. ............ The Istanbul-based giants have witnessed their blood rivals Galatasaray and Fenerbahce making waves on the market, so they’ll be looking to strengthen Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s ranks with quality players to remain competitive. The first name on the list is Arthur Melo, who hasn’t featured for Juventus in a competitive fixture since 2022. ............ The second Juventus player mentioned in the report is Tiago Djalo who is coming off a disappointing loan spell at Porto. ............ Finally, Arkadiusz Milik has been out of action since suffering a knee injury in June 2024. ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/juventus-milik-djalo-arthur-besiktas/

Tudor will have the final say on the future Juventus midfielder Juventus are currently negotiating with Napoli for the possible transfer of Fabio Miretti, but Igor Tudor will hold the final word on the matter. ............ In recent days, the two clubs were said to be closing in on a final agreement, with Napoli reducing the gap between their offer and Juve’s asking price. The Southerners are reportedly willing to pay a maximum of €15 million, while Damien Comolli is hoping to drive the figure up, as he did in the negotiations with Olympique Marseille for Timothy Weah. But Juventus are also waiting for a final answer from Tudor who has been keeping a close eye on Miretti in pre-season. ............ Tudor gave Miretti a starting role in the first friendly of the summer against Reggiana, suggesting that he plans to put him to the test before passing a final judgement. Nevertheless, the source notes that the Italian’s playing role could raise an issue. Miretti ideally plays as a box-to-box midfielder in a three-man midfield. But in Tudor’s 3-4-2-1 formation, he would have to either adjust to playing in the double pivot, or as an attacking midfielder, a role he performed last season under Patrick Vieira. .

New Koopmeiners role at Juventus can transform strategy Juventus are trying to revitalise Teun Koopmeiners after a dismal debut season by taking him back to a deeper midfield role, similar to the one he had with Atalanta. The Netherlands international arrived last summer as a huge investment, costing €58.4m plus bonuses to poach from Bergamo. ............ Tudor is now experimenting with a tweak that could give Koopmeiners greater control and make the most of his characteristics. He struggled as a trequartista behind the striker, either in a 3-4-2-1 formation or the 4-2-3-1 system. The plan therefore is to pull Koopmeiners back into a deeper midfield role, where he can dictate the tempo and spray passes for his teammates. ............ In the most recent friendly outing against Reggiana, Fabio Miretti was used in the trequartista slot, with Koopmeiners joining Manuel Locatelli in the two-man midfield. .

Tudor trials two Juventus tactics ahead of Borussia Dortmund test Juventus are currently in Germany to continue their pre-season preparations and head coach Igor Tudor has reportedly tested two different systems ahead of an upcoming friendly against Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund. The Bianconeri have two more pre-season friendlies on their fixture list ahead of their Serie A opener against Parma on August 24, firstly against Bundesliga giants Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park on Sunday, and then against Atalanta in Bergamo the following weekend. ............ Tudor has tested two different formations during the early sessions of the team’s training camp in Germany. ............ First is the 3-4-2-1 that Tudor typically employed during his first few months in charge at the back end of the 2024-25 season, and second was a slightly different set-up, in a 4-2-3-1, similar to how Thiago Motta used to line up before his dismissal last season. Both systems have seen summer signing Jonathan David start as the sole centre-forward. The 4-2-3-1 saw Kenan Yildiz star in his preferred role as the ‘no.10’, with room for the likes of Francisco Conceicao and Teun Koopmeiners to play in supporting trequartista roles either side of him. ............ .

Juventus expect to complete fourth summer signing this week after making breakthrough Juventus are closing in on sealing an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain for the transfer of Randal Kolo Muani. The Bianconeri have already poached the services of Jonathan David on a free transfer, brought back Francisco Conceicao on a permanent basis, and also signed Joao Mario from Porto while sending Alberto Costa in the opposite direction. ............ Damien Comolli and Co. have clearly identified Kolo Muani as their preferred target to fill in the void upfront, as the latter managed to convince Igor Tudor during his loan spell last season. ............ The Old Lady may have finally found a breakthrough in the negotiations. The two parties are ironing out the last details in an agreement that would see Kolo Muani join Juventus on loan for €10-15 million, with an obligation to buy set at circa €30 million. ............ Juventus now expect to finalise Kolo Muani’s move this week, and have him at Tudor’s disposal on Monday, August 11th, when the team returns from the training camp in Germany. ............ .

Juventus lining up O’Riley and Bissouma as Hjulmand’s alternatives Juventus are still determined to find a way to sign Sporting CP captain Morten Hjulmand, but are simultaneously keeping an eye on several other midfield targets, including two Premier League stars. The Bianconeri have identified Hjulmand as the main target to bolster Igor Tudor’s midfield department. ............ Hjulmand has already said yes to Juve’s proposal, so the club must now negotiate a deal with Sporting who are only willing to offload the 26-year-old for a transfer fee worth €60 million (the figure inserted in his release clause), while the Bianconeri are only willing to offer €40 million. ............ Juventus are following several other midfielders whom they consider fallback options in case they fail in their mission to sign Hjulmand. ............ The source mentions another Denmark international in Matt O’Riley, a 24-year-old Fulham youth product who made a name for himself at Celtic before moving to Brighton last summer. However, he remains tied to the Seagulls with a contract running until 2029. On the other hand, Tottenham’s Yves Bissouma represents a more affordable option, given that his deal with the Spurs will expire next season. The 28-year-old Mali international is renowned for his strong physical presence and seamless ability to win back possession. ............ .

Capello explains why Allegri wants Vlahovic at Milan: “He knows what he’s doing” Retired Italian football manager Fabio Capello reveals the reasons that prompted Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri to pursue Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic. The Rossoneri are currently searching the market for a new centre-forward after parting ways with Luka Jovic and Tammy Abraham, leaving Santiago Gimenez as their solitary marksman. ............ During their time together in Turin, many things were said and written about the rapport between Vlahovic and Allegri, with many blaming the latter for the striker’s stalled development following his move from Fiorentina. Nevertheless, the Livorno native has been the striker’s main sponsor at Milanello, as he relishes a reunion with his old pupil. Hence, Capello insists that Allegri want Vlahovic at his disposal as he deems his characteristics ideal for his playing style. “It’s certainly not on a whim; Allegri is not that kind of coach,” said the former Milan, Juventus and Real Madrid manager. “Instead, I believe Max is convinced he needs an out-and-out striker who operates well in the box, rather than a ball collector. ............ “Dusan struggled to communicate with his teammates at Juve, but if he gets a good ball, he knows what he’s doing. The Livorno-born coach probably thinks the Rossoneri are already capable of developing their play and just need a reliable striker to convert those chances into goals. “We should remember that the Serbian is only 25 years old. He hasn’t yet reached the peak of his physical and mental maturity. Milan, thanks to his ups and downs at Juve, can sign him on favourable terms.” ............ .

Swap deal brewing as Milan offer Juventus a defender in exchange for Vlahovic Milan are still determined to sign Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, and they believe they can recruit him through a swap deal. ............ The Rossoneri’s interest in the former Fiorentina star mostly stems from Massimiliano Allegri’s presence, the manager who had also asked Juventus to sign him in January 2022. However, the player’s hefty wages remain the main stumbling block to Milan’s plans. ............ Malick Thiaw doesn’t seem to be at the heart of Allegri’s plans. However, the 23-year-old had shown promising signs in the past, especially during Stefano Pioli’s tenure. ............ Juventus have set their asking price for Vlahovic at €20 million, a figure that is just enough to prevent a capital loss on a player who was bought for over €80 million back in 2022. As for Thiaw, his estimated value is at €15 million, so the two clubs are now working on finding a formula. The report also reveals that the Rossoneri are willing to offer other fringe players if Thiaw doesn’t entice Juventus. This includes 27-year-old Algerian midfielder Ismael Bennacer. .

Kolo Muani rejected Man Utd & Spurs offers as he only wants Juventus Paris Saint-Germain wantaway Randal Kolo Muani only has eyes for Juventus, so he has reportedly turned down all other proposals. ............ Aside from the transitional period that followed the managerial change at Juventus, Kolo Muani was favoured over Dusan Vlahovic by both Thiago Motta and Igor Tudor. However, the striker returned to Paris following the expiry of his loan stint. Nevertheless, everyone at Juventus have been keen to find a new agreement with the European giants to bring Kolo Muani back to Turin. ............ In the meantime, other suitors have emerged, trying to seize the opportunity to overtake Juventus in the race. But Kolo Muani has already rejected the approaches of two Premier League clubs, namely Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur. ............ .

Done deal – Juventus & Marseille finally reach agreement on Tim Weah After several weeks of negotiations, Juventus and Olympique Marseille have seemingly reached the finish line, finding an agreement for the transfer of Timothy Weah. ............ In recent weeks, Juventus and OM have been engaged in direct talks. However, the negotiations witnessed several twists and turns, much to the dismay of Weah’s agent who accused an unnamed Juventus official of acting ‘vengefully’ when the Italian giants decided to raise their initial asking price. Nevertheless, Juve’s manoeuvre has seemingly paid dividends, as the two clubs have now reached an accord with the Old Lady getting favourable terms. According to several sources in Italy and France Weah will join Marseille on loan with an obligation to buy. The Ligue 1 giants will pay €1 million in loan fees, while the player’s purchase will cost them another €14 million, in addition to €5 million in bonuses. Moreover, Juventus will receive a sell-on fee in case of a future resale, but the percentage remains unknown. Therefore, Weah is now expected to leave the Bianconeri’s training camp in Germany and head to France to finalise the transfer. ............ .

Youngster open to joining Napoli as Juventus set their asking price Juventus midfielder Fabio Miretti is reportedly open to signing for Napoli who are looking to add him to Antonio Conte’s squad. ............ In recent weeks, Napoli emerged as the frontrunners in the race to sign the young midfielder. The club’s sporting director, Giovanni Manna, is familiar with Miretti, having overseen his rise during their time together at Juventus. The Italy U21 international has now given his consent for the move. Therefore, Napoli must now finalise an agreement with Juventus who are seeking a transfer fee of €15 million. ............ This figure would constitute a pure capital gain for Juventus, and would give them an important boost in their quest to sign some of their summer transfer targets. But at the same time, the Bianconeri aren’t entirely keen to sell Miretti. In other words, the Turin-based giants are willing to sell the midfielder for the right price, but wouldn’t mind keeping him if they don’t receive an appropriate offer. .

Nottingham Forest trying to tempt Juventus outcast with lucrative offer Nottingham Forest are determined to acquire the services of Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz, as they’re reportedly willing to break the bank. The Brazilian has been dropped from Igor Tudor’s plans after a miserable first year at the club, marred by injuries and uninspiring performances. ............ In recent weeks, several Premier League clubs have been linked with the former Aston Villa star who left an indelible mark on the English shores. Everton and West Ham have been mentioned as potential destinations, but Nottingham Forest have recently emerged as the player’s staunchest suitors. Forest’s sporting director, Edu, recently met with the midfielder’s agent, Kia Joorabchian, to discuss a potential deal. ............ The EPL side is preparing an enticing offer for Douglas, as they’re willing to offer him a salary higher than the one he currently earns at Juventus. The Brazilian’s wages in Turin are worth circa €5 million per year. However, Forest still have to find an agreement with Juventus by offering them more convincing terms. The Reds have offered a loan with an option to buy, while the Bianconeri insist on including an obligation hinging on easily achievable objectives. ............ .

Igor Tudor names unwanted players Juventus squad for Germany Juventus have made several players available for transfer as they no longer feature in the plans of their current manager. These individuals are expected to find new clubs before the season begins, given that they are not considered part of the project either in the short term or beyond. ............ The team is currently preparing for the upcoming campaign with a short training camp in Germany, and several players who are expected to depart have still been included in the travelling squad. Tudor has taken the full senior squad on the trip, which includes players such as Arthur Melo and Douglas Luiz. Despite speculation surrounding their future, they remain involved in training and team activities. This contrasts with last season’s approach, when several players were effectively isolated from the first-team group ahead of expected transfers. ............ This summer, by keeping these players active within the squad and involved in preparations, Juventus may increase its chances of securing appropriate deals. The continued involvement of those expected to leave allows them to maintain match fitness and visibility, potentially leading to smoother transfers in the coming weeks. .

“Some players” Tudor reacts to Juventus draw against Reggiana Igor Tudor has shared his thoughts following Juventus’ 2-2 draw against Reggiana in their pre-season friendly earlier today. The fixture marked the Bianconeri’s return to action as they prepare for the new campaign, with the players aiming to regain match sharpness after their summer break. The Bianconeri have only recently resumed pre-season training, while Reggiana had already begun their preparations and played a prior fixture. ............ The manager approached the match with a clear plan to rotate the squad, fielding two different teams in each half. This strategy allowed him to assess a broader range of players and gauge their fitness levels individually. ............ “Today was a good test for us. The intensity of the training we did this week was noticeable, and as a result, there was obviously a lot of fatigue. Physically—as is normal at this time—some players are a little ahead and some are a little behind: today was a very useful workout. I’m happy for Gleison’s return; it will certainly take some time and he’ll need to play some matches to get back to his level. I’m satisfied with these first few days of training.” ............ While the draw may not reflect the club’s ambitions for the season ahead, it served its purpose as a preparatory fixture. Juventus supporters will be hopeful that the squad continues to make steady progress and delivers stronger performances in the upcoming matches. .

No need to panic – Reggiana draw will not define Juventus’ season Juventus and Reggiana played out a 2–2 draw in what marked the Bianconeri’s first pre-season fixture of the summer. The match served as the initial step in Juventus’ preparations for the upcoming campaign, with further fixtures expected before the new season officially begins. ............ The current Juventus squad carries several uncertainties, with no clear distinction yet made between those who are part of the club’s future plans and those likely to depart. Nonetheless, head coach Igor Tudor utilised this friendly to assess the available options, rather than chase a definitive result. AC Reggiana entered the match having already played a pre-season fixture and approached the encounter with intent. Despite their sharpness, they were unable to defeat Juventus, who showed character in securing a 2–2 result. While the draw may not reflect the ambitions of a club of Juventus’ stature, it offered valuable insight into the early stages of their preparation. ............ The outcome of the match should not be viewed as a barometer for the season ahead. While supporters may be eager to analyse the result, it is important to recognise that the pre-season is a period dedicated to experimentation, conditioning and tactical fine-tuning. ............ .

Reggiana holds Juventus to a draw in Bianconeri’s first pre-season game With their rivals already well into pre-season preparations, Juventus fans were eager to assess their team’s readiness ahead of the new campaign. Having rested for several weeks due to their participation in the Club World Cup, the Bianconeri returned to action with limited time remaining before the season begins. Reggiana, a Serie B side, were chosen as their first opponents in what was expected to be a useful test of fitness and form. ............ Juventus showed signs of rustiness, a likely consequence of their extended break. Reggiana capitalised on this, with Natan Girma opening the scoring in the 22nd minute. It was not the start Juventus had envisioned, but they responded quickly through Francisco Conceição, who finished a move assisted by Jonathan David. ............ Dusan Vlahović found the net shortly after the restart to give Juventus a 2–1 lead. At that point, it seemed the Bianconeri might take control of the match. However, Reggiana refused to allow the game to slip away and continued to press forward with intent. Their persistence paid off late in the match when Cedric Gondo struck to bring the scores level once again, catching Juventus off guard and denying them a comfortable start to pre-season. ............ The match concluded in a 2–2 draw, offering mixed signals about the team’s current form. While there were encouraging signs in attack, the game also highlighted the need for improved defensive organisation and match rhythm. ............ .

Sporting Club insists on their asking price for Juventus target Morten Hjulmand has emerged as a key transfer target for Igor Tudor, who has been anticipating Juventus making a move to bring the Danish midfielder into his squad. Hjulmand is no stranger to Italian football, having previously played in Serie A during his time with Lecce. Since his move to Portugal, he has become a vital player for Sporting Club and is now regarded as one of the top midfield prospects in European football. ............ While Juventus have placed its own valuation on Hjulmand, Sporting are demanding a significantly higher fee. Although the player has a release clause set at 80 million euros, the Portuguese club has not asked the Bianconeri to meet that full amount. Instead, their current valuation of the player is around 50 million euros, which still exceeds what Juventus are currently prepared to pay. ............ Juventus are looking to complete the signing at a lower cost, but the negotiation process has become more rigid. The Bianconeri have been informed that they must pay the full 50 million euros if they are to secure the services of the Danish international. This firm stance from Sporting may complicate matters unless the Italian side is willing to raise their offer. ............ .

Juventus is now discussing a permanent sale for their wantaway player Juventus are now engaged in negotiations with Olympique Marseille regarding the permanent transfer of Timothy Weah, after initially rejecting the Ligue 1 club’s proposal for a loan deal. ............ Olympique Marseille have long been interested in signing the American international, although their initial approach was centred around a loan move. Juventus, however, were not willing to entertain a temporary deal and made it clear that only a permanent transfer would be considered. As a result, the Bianconeri left the door open for other interested parties, while remaining open to renewed discussions with Marseille should their position change. ............ Talks between the clubs are said to be advancing positively, with Juventus seeking a fee in the region of €13 million for the winger. The willingness of OM to meet these demands has brought the two sides closer to reaching an agreement. ............ .
