Demiral to stay with Juve squad https://www.football-italia.net/141053/demiral-stay-juve-squad Jul 21, 2019 Juventus will be able to call on Merih Demiral in China after the defender was granted a visa. Demiral was initially due to return to Turin after Juve’s International Champions Cup opener against Tottenham Hotspur in Singapore on Saturday, having been denied entry into China. However, the Bianconeri tweeted on the morning of their clash with Spurs that he would be travelling with the squad to face Inter in Nanjing on Wednesday. The 21-year-old, a recent €18m arrival from Sassuolo, could make his debut for the Old Lady at 12:30 BST today.

Demiral on United radar https://www.football-italia.net/140967/report-demiral-united-radar Jul 19, 2019 Juventus defender Merih Demiral has reportedly emerged as a target for Manchester United. Turkish-Football.com cites an unnamed source close to Demiral, who claims United have made enquiries for the stopper. Juve have already made it clear that they will only consider selling the 21-year-old for a considerable profit, already turning down a loan proposal from Milan. However, United appear to view him as a younger and cheaper alternative to Leicester City's Harry Maguire. Atletico Madrid have also been credited with an interest in the Turk, but they have recently splashed out on Mario Hermoso and Felipe to replace Diego Godin and Lucas Hernandez. Demiral joined Juve for €18m earlier in the month after a successful loan spell at Sassuolo but faces competition from Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci and now Matthijs de Ligt in the Old Lady's central defence.

Official: Juventus sign Demiral https://www.football-italia.net/140378/official-juventus-sign-demiral Jul 5, 2019 Juventus have officially purchased Turkish defender Merih Demiral from Sassuolo for €18m, with a contract to June 2024. A statement was released this evening confirming the deal, which has been largely done for several weeks now. “Juventus Football Club S.p.A. announces that the agreement with U.S. Sassuolo Calcio S.r.l. for the definitive acquisition of the registration rights of the player Merih Demiral has been finalized for a consideration of € 18 million payable in four financial years. “Juventus and the player have signed a 5-year contract of employment until 30 June 2024.” Demiral only turned 21 in March, but already has six senior caps for Turkey. He joined Sassuolo from Alanyaspor on loan with option to buy for €7m in January 2019, making an immediate impression, including two Serie A goals.

Juventus meet Demiral and Pogba https://www.football-italia.net/139137/juventus-meet-demiral-and-pogba Jun 9, 2019 Juventus director Fabio Paratici was in Turkey last night to discuss the €15m Merih Demiral deal and meet with Paul Pogba. According to La Stampa, Paratici was in the stands for Turkey’s 2-0 victory over France in a Euro 2020 qualifier last night, to watch both Demiral and Pogba. The Bianconeri have practically agreed terms with Sassuolo for the 21-year-old Turkish defender at €15m plus bonuses, despite Atletico Madrid recently reportedly making the Neroverdi a €25m offer. The intention had been to leave him at Sassuolo for another year to mature, but the fantastic performance against World Cup winners France may well have changed their minds. Meanwhile, La Stampa also reports that Paratici was in Konya last night to watch over France international Pogba, who remains a possible transfer target this summer. It’s suggested the pair might’ve had the opportunity to exchange a few words after the game. If Pogba does leave Manchester United this summer, then he has offers on the table from Real Madrid and PSG too.

Juventus invest €15m in Demiral https://www.football-italia.net/138644/juventus-invest-€15m-demiral May 28, 2019 There are growing reports Juventus have agreed a €15m deal with Sassuolo for Turkey international defender Merih Demiral. According to Tuttomercatoweb, Goal.com and more, the two clubs reached an agreement today and he will sign a five-year contract after he returns from international duty. Demiral is just 21 years old and only joined Sassuolo from Alanyaspor in January. It was a loan with option to buy for €7m, so the Neroverdi are doubling their money in just six months. He scored two goals in 14 Serie A appearances, representing Fenerbahce, Alcanenense and Sporting CP in his career. Juventus raised the €15m by selling Riccardo Orsolini to Bologna, again after his loan spell with option to buy.

OFFICIAL: Cancelo for Danilo and €28m https://www.football-italia.net/141824/official-cancelo-danilo-and-€28m Aug 7, 2019 Juventus have officially sold Joao Cancelo to Manchester City for €65m, while signing Danilo for €37m. The two full-backs both underwent medicals with their new clubs over the last 24 hours. A statement released by Juventus confirmed Danilo has signed a contract to June 2024 and the €37m will be payable in three instalments. It also noted that Manchester City have three instalments to pay the €65m and that this registers a €28.6m profit for the Bianconeri. For 25-year-old Portugal international Cancelo, it is the fourth transfer in five years after Benfica, Valencia, Inter and Juventus. He joined the Bianconeri last summer for €40.4m and played 34 games in all competition, contributing one goal and five assists. As for Danilo, the 28-year-old Brazilian moved from FC Porto to Real Madrid in 2015, then joined Manchester City for €30m two years later. He had only 22 official games for City last season, with one goal and one assist, as he fell out of favour with Coach Pep Guardiola. “Juventus Football Club S.p.A. announces that these agreements have been finalized with Manchester City Football Club: “Definitive acquisition of the registration rights of the player Danilo Luiz da Silva for a consideration of € 37 million payable in three financial years. Juventus and the player have signed a 5-year contract of employment until 30 June 2024; “Definitive disposal of the registration rights of the player João Pedro Cavaco Cancelo for a consideration of € 65 million to be paid in three financial years. The economic effect is positive for about € 28.6 million, net of solidarity contribution and auxiliary expenses.”

Danilo arrives for Juventus https://www.football-italia.net/141761/danilo-arrives-juventus Aug 6, 2019 Manchester City full-back Danilo has arrived in Turin as part of an exchange with Joao Cancelo, but his Juventus medical will be tomorrow. He landed at the Caselle Airport in a private jet, as confirmed by the official Juventus Twitter account. Cancelo is undergoing his medical today in Manchester, making the switch to City in exchange for Danilo plus €30m. Danilo is primarily a right-back, although he can also play on the left side of defence. He is expected to sign a five-year contract worth €4m per year plus bonuses. The 28-year-old Brazilian joined Manchester City from Real Madrid for €30m in the summer of 2017. With this transfer to Juventus, Danilo is reunited with his former FC Porto teammate Alex Sandro. 185 people are talking about this 750 people are talking about this

Juve warming to Danilo https://www.football-italia.net/141531/reports-juve-warming-danilo Aug 1, 2019 Speculation is intensifying that Juventus are prepared to take Manchester City full-back Danilo in part exchange for Joao Cancelo. City have resumed talks for Cancelo in recent days, although Juve did not seem keen on the idea of receiving Danilo plus cash. However, Sky Sport Italia and Fabrizio Romano both claim the Bianconeri are now ‘willing to consider’ the Brazilian. It now remains to be seen how much the Old Lady value Danilo, with Romano specifying they want a deal to be worth a total of €60m (£55m). The 28-year-old joined the English giants in the summer of 2017 for €30m (£26.5m) and has gone on to win two Premier League titles.

Juve to keep Khedira? https://www.football-italia.net/141994/reports-juve-keep-khedira Aug 11, 2019 Juventus have reportedly decided to keep Sami Khedira after he convinced new boss Maurizio Sarri of his worth. Khedira was expected to move on after Juve signed fellow midfielders Aaron Ramsey and Adrien Rabiot. However, Sky Sport Italia claims he is no longer on the market, having worked his way into Sarri’s plans. That is echoed by Goal.com’s Romeo Agresti, who explains the Coach is ‘appreciative’ of the German’s quality. The 32-year-old is contracted to the Bianconeri until 2021 after signing a new deal last summer. Moves to Arsenal and Wolverhampton Wanderers did not materialise before Thursday’s deadline for English clubs and he scored during the Old Lady’s 2-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid yesterday. Therefore, Blaise Matuidi is likely to be the midfielder that departs Turin this month.

Juve, è fatta per Pellegrini al Cagliari: andrà in prestito L'ex Roma ritorna alla corte di Maran dopo i sei mesi trascorsi nella passata stagione FONTE Gli esuberi di Maurizio Sarri iniziano a fare le valigie. Il primo a partire è il giovane Luca Pellegrini. Il suo però è solo un arriverderci: i bianconeri hanno raggiunto un accordo totale con il club sardo per il trasferimento in prestito secco, senza alcun tipo di riscatto fissato. Il terzino, arrivato poche settimane fa dalla Roma nello scambio con Spinazzola sarà in Sardegna nella giornata di lunedì per unirsi di nuovo alla squadra di Maran dove ha passato la seconda parte della scorsa stagione, collezionando 12 presenze.

Cagliari reach agreement with Juve for Pellegrini https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/cagliari-reach-agreement-with-juve-for-pellegrini-the-details-64583 Aug 11, 2019 It's all done for Luca Pellegrini.

At Cagliari, he will be able to play and grow with continuity in a team that aims high, based on the transfer market.Pellegrini is one of the six players that Sarri talked about, all of which are deemed surplus to requirements. The left-back arrived in the Spinazzola affair, with a valuation of about €22m.As Sky Italia explains, he will join Cagliari on a dry loan after the acceleration in the negotiations in recent days. In fact, the medical tests have already been scheduled, and everything is in place for the transfer.

Sarri: 'My Dybala opinion doesn't count' https://www.football-italia.net/141961/sarri-my-dybala-opinion-doesnt-count Aug 10, 2019 Maurizio Sarri hit out at Juventus for the “embarrassing situation” with players who need to be sold, while declaring his “opinion on Paulo Dybala counts for zero.” The Coach was his usual brutally honest self in a Press conference after the 2-1 International Champions Cup defeat to Atletico Madrid in Stockholm. “I am fairly satisfied with the performance and I liked the attitude, especially in the first half, against a team that was in better physical shape than us. “We should never concede a goal like the second, but that’s all part of pre-season work and training. We moved the ball around well technically in the first half and I’d not seen that for such long periods.” Sarri was asked what his ideas were for the transfer market and immediately cut off the reporter. “Sometimes, I get really astonished when I read your papers. You go on about Sarri’s choices, the choices of (director of sport Fabio) Paratici. “Did you look at the Juventus squad? We have to cut six players to fit into the Champions League list, which I haven’t read anywhere. Otherwise these choices might look insane. “We have to cut six players from the current squad and that puts me in a difficult position. The last 20 days of the market will be difficult for us, it’s an embarrassing situation, because we risk having to leave out players of a very high level. “It’s a situation we have to resolve and it is not just about the decisions made by Coach or club.” Dybala was on the verge of joining Manchester United and then Tottenham Hotspur, only for personal terms to stall everything, so Sarri was asked how he saw La Joya in the side? “Dybala only had two training sessions with me, so all evaluations are premature. Clearly, he can’t be at the top of his condition physically and that also affects what he can do as a False 9. “I think he has the characteristics to play in that role, but we’ll have to see how we can fill the penalty area with that solution. “As I said before, I can talk to Dybala all I like, but the market goes in a certain direction and my opinion counts for zero. We have to cut six players, that’s all there is to it. “I’d love to keep them all, but our problem is that we don’t have players who grew up at this club, there’s only one, so our entire Champions League squad will be 22 players with three goalkeepers. That forces us to make decisions on the market that we don’t want to make.” Sarri was asked if he thinks his Juventus will be ready for the opening Serie A game against Parma on the weekend of August 24. “Usually, I don’t start seasons well. Aside from Chelsea, where I think I set a record for going unbeaten at the start of a Premier League career, in Italy I always struggled in the early weeks.”

Juve frustrated by Khedira https://www.football-italia.net/141945/juve-frustrated-khedira Aug 10, 2019 Juventus are increasingly frustrated with Sami Khedira, as it’s reported he has turned down several moves to Besiktas, Fenerbahce, Wolves and MLS. The 32-year-old is under contract until June 2021 and has an option for a further year, but is not part of Coach Maurizio Sarri’s plans. According to Calciomercato.com, the Bianconeri are irritated that the German has refused every proposal put to him and his agents. That includes Besiktas, Fenerbahce, Wolverhampton Wanderers and several MLS clubs, while the only side he was interested in – Arsenal – did not materialise before the Premier League transfer deadline. This makes it increasingly likely that Juventus will try to terminate the contract by mutual consent, allowing Khedira to choose his own future and taking his €6m salary off the books.
