Araujo says ‘yes’ to joining Juventus? Juventus have ramped up their efforts to secure the services of Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo, as the Turin giants look to bolster their backline in the January transfer window. The Uruguayan center-back should have already given his approval to a potential move to the Bianconeri, signalling his readiness for a new challenge. ............ Araujo, who holds a Spanish passport, could be Juventus’ first acquisition of the winter market. The defender’s willingness to join Juventus stems from his current situation at Barcelona, where he faces uncertainty regarding his playing time. Having recently returned from a long-term injury that side-lined him for most of the season, Araujo made his comeback appearance just days ago, completing a full 90 minutes. ............ Araujo’s current contract with Barcelona runs until 2026, with an annual salary of €6 million. ............ .

Niclas Füllkrug becomes latest option in Juventus’ hunt for a new striker It is January, and that means Juventus finally having the chance to address the depth issues that Thiago Motta has dealt with for much of the 2024-25 season. ............ Juventus have added West Ham striker Niclas Füllkrug to their list of options up front to try and sign during the winter transfer window. He is now the third striker to be linked with a move to Juventus this month, along with Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee and Paris Saint’Germain’s Randal Kolo Muani. Much like a potential move for Kolo Muani, the 31-year-old Füllkrug would likely arrive on loan for the second half of the season — something that West Ham are considering this month. Described as Germany’s “unsung hero” during his country’s run at last summer’s European Championship, Füllkrug made a big-money move from Borussia Dortmund to the Premier League following his exploits during the tournament worth a reported £27 million. However, things certainly haven’t gone as well with West Ham as they did when playing for Germany on German soil a few months earlier. ............ .

Why did key Juventus man visit the J Medical centre today? This morning, news emerged that Dusan Vlahovic had visited the J Medical Centre, leaving Juventus fans surprised, as they had expected only Francisco Conceicao to make an appearance. ............ However, supporters can breathe a sigh of relief, as Il Bianconero has provided clarity on why the Serbian striker stopped by the medical facility. According to their report, Vlahovic’s visit was purely routine, and it had nothing to do with a new injury. The striker spent only a few minutes at the centre, and he is expected to be fully fit and available to feature in Juventus’ next game. ............ .

Man United offered chance to sign Juventus star in Joshua Zirkzee swap proposal? Manchester United have reportedly been offered the chance to sign Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic in a potential swap deal involving Joshua Zirkzee. The Netherlands international has struggled to produce his best form since he completed a £35.3m move from Bologna in the summer transfer window. ............ The Italian giants have offered the Red Devils the opportunity to sign Vlahovic in a proposal which would see Zirkzee reunite with former Bologna boss Thiago Motta. Zirkzee impressed under Motta at Bologna last season, scoring 11 goals and providing five assists in 34 Serie A matches to help the club achieve Champions League qualification. The swap proposal would provide Juventus with an instant replacement for Vlahovic, who is out of contract in the summer of 2026. ............ While there is no doubt about Vlahovic's goalscoring talents, the Serbian is not quite as mobile as Zirkzee and may struggle to contribute to their build-up play away from the penalty box. Vlahovic would also likely want guarantees over starting opportunities, meaning that Rasmus Hojlund would have to settle for a bench role. With all that in mind, Man United may be reluctant to push for Vlahovic and may be keen to persist with Zirkzee in the second half of the season. .

Juventus eye Niclas Füllkrug as potential striker addition Juventus are actively seeking to bolster its attacking options during the current transfer window, with several names emerging as potential targets. Among these is Niclas Füllkrug, the German International currently at West Ham United, who has caught the attention of the Bianconeri. Füllkrug, who will turn 32 in February, joined West Ham in the summer following a successful season with Borussia Dortmund, where he played a pivotal role in their run to the UEFA Champions League final. However, his time in England has been challenging. This season, he has made only nine appearances in the Premier League, scoring two goals and providing one assist. His limited playing time has raised questions about his future at the club. ............ The Italian side are reportedly open to acquiring players on loan or those nearing the end of their contracts due to financial constraints after significant summer spending. ............ .

“Vlahovic doesn’t have great technique” – Capello explains why Motta desperately needs Man Utd star Fabio Capello believes Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee has what it takes to solve many problems for Juventus. ............ In recent months, the Dutchman has been heavily linked with a move to Turin. The Old Lady is looking to sign the struggling forward on loan from Man Utd. While it remains to be seen if the Serie A giants will be successful in their attempts, Capello is absolutely in favour of the rumoured move. The legendary Italian manager considers Zirkzee as the ideal profile to unlock the style of football that Motta has been trying to implement since his arrival at Continassa. The former Real Madrid, Juventus and England manager believes the Netherlands international can succeed where Dusan Vlahovic is failing, mainly due to his different attributes. “Zirkzee is the player who sews together the whole game that Thiago Motta would like to play,” said the 78-year-old in his interview. “Vlahovic does not have great technique, he is more of a penalty area man. If you don’t get him into the penalty box, it becomes difficult for him to play. “When Motta takes him off, it is because he believes that Vlahovic is not part of the game system that he wants, it is both a tactical and technical choice.” ............ .

Ci sono abituati, ci sono abituati ......

Ecco perché é importante che in dirigenza ci siano persone che hanno esperienza in bianconero da ex-calciatori. Mi auguro che l'organizzazione all'interno della Juventus sia ancora quella che racconta Vieira in questo video.

Juventus & PSG could trade their strikers in sensational swap deal Several reports between Italy and France claim an exchange deal between Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus could be brewing. In recent weeks, Randal Kolo Muani has been omitted from Luis Enrique’s plans, suggesting that a January departure will be inevitable for the France international who never truly found his feet in Paris after making a €95-million switch from Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer of 2023. Even with Kylian Mbappe departing Le Parc des Princes last summer, the 26-year-old still struggled for relevance. ............ The Bianconeri are primarily linked with Joshua Zirkzee and Giacomo Raspadori, but Kolo Muani naturally landed on the shortlist due to his peculiar situation in the French capital. This could prompt an exchange deal between Juventus and PSG who are long-time admirers of Dusan Vlahovic. ............ The Serbian striker no longer enjoys the same aura he once had in Turin, especially after a series of underwhelming displays this season, and an unsavoury clash with the supporters. Moreover, the striker’s contract will expire in 2026, and the two parties haven’t been able to find any breakthrough in their renewal talks, leaving the club in a delicate situation. Therefore, many believe the Bianconeri would jump on the opportunity to offload the Serbian international before his contract expires. ............ .

Juventus winger expected to miss Torino Derby – Medical tests scheduled next week Juventus will likely have to do without their influential winger Francisco Conceicao in the Derby della Mole against Torino. ............ While Kenan Yildiz proved to be an excellent replacement on the right wing for Thiago Motta, Conceicao’s injury remains a big blow for the Bianconeri given his excellent and dynamic displays down the flank which rendered him an instant fan favourite in Turin. Moreover, Juventus are about to embark on a gruelling gauntlet in January with clashes against Torino, Atalanta, Milan, Club Brugge, Napoli and Benfica all taking place this month. Therefore, Motta will be desperate for depth across the field, and the last thing he needs at the moment is another untimely absence. ............ Conceicao will undergo medical tests at the J|Medical Centre on Tuesday to detect the extent of his injury, while the technical staff will be crossing their fingers hoping that the results don’t reveal anything serious. Nevertheless, even if the winger were to avoid a lengthy absence, the source doesn’t expect him to make a swift recovery for Saturday’s Derby showdown against Torino. Hence, Motta will have to resort to the likes of Yildiz, Nico Gonzalez and Samuel Mbangula on the wings, in addition to the returning Timothy Weah. ............ .

Juventus legend warns Thiago Motta: “You can’t buy character at the supermarket” Former Juventus winger Franco Causio urges Thiago Motta to bring his A-game in order to succeed in Turin. ............ Moreover, Juve returned early from Riyadh after their disappointing participation in the Italian Super Cup. Despite taking the lead in the first half through Kenan Yildiz, Motta’s men failed to kill off Milan, allowing their opponents to complete a second-half comeback that sent them packing. Therefore, Causio notes that the team still lacks character – amongst other aspects – but warns Motta that it will be up to him to restore the team’s strong personality, as it isn’t something that can be bought on the market. “You can’t buy a team’s character at the supermarket, the coach has to bring it to the group, especially if it’s a young team like Juventus,” said the 75-year-old Bianconeri legend. “Motta needs to do some soul-searching, he’s good and deserves time, but everyone makes mistakes and he still has to grow as a coach.” ............ “I think he’s made some mistakes so far in managing substitutions as well as in giving few certainties with so many rotations when he has more options at his disposal. “But it’s clear that he has many extenuating circumstances, from injuries onwards, and that it’s right to give him time.” .

Blow for Juventus as Arkadiusz Milik suffers injury setback Juventus striker Arkadiusz Milik has reportedly suffered a new injury blow which will rule out of action for an additional period of time. ............ In recent months, the former Ajax and Napoli striker has been tipped to return in January, with Juventus Football Director Cristiano Giuntoli labelling him as the club’s January signing, suggesting that further additions to the attacking won’t be required if the experienced striker manages to regain his fitness for the second half of the campaign. ............ Milik hurt himself again just when his return to action seemed imminent. As the source explains, the Poland international is now dealing with a calf injury which will keep him on the sidelines for additional time, without revealing an exact timetable. So if the club’s hierarchy was having any doubts, this blow should confirm the dire need for reinforcement upfront, as it is becoming evident that relying on Milik amidst his seemingly never-ending ordeal is a doomed plan. ............ .

Padovano insists Juventus were unlucky against AC Milan Juventus suffered a painful exit from the Italian Super Cup at the hands of AC Milan in a match they seemed destined to win. ............ Despite the disappointment, former Juventus forward Michele Padovano offered a more optimistic perspective on the performance. He said: “I think it was a game, in my opinion, played very well by Juventus. They were very unlucky. In my opinion, for an hour they dictated the rules of the game, playing well. However, unfortunately, as often happens to Juventus, they are unable to close out the games, and in my opinion, this can always be a danger against big teams like Milan. It is against small teams, let alone against Milan excellent Juventus, and I continue to see the glass half full in the Juve project.” Padovano’s remarks highlight a familiar issue for Juventus this season—the inability to finish off games. While they played well for large portions of the match, their failure to maintain focus and composure against a high-calibre opponent like Milan proved costly. ............ .

A me invece sembra che esprima concetti molto interessanti. Parla di qualche giornalista che butta fango su Motta perché amico di Allegri. E non sono solo i giornalisti che si comportano cosí.

Key Juventus star risks not playing against Torino due to fitness worry Francisco Conceição was a late withdrawal from Juventus’ lineup in their Super Cup semi-final clash against AC Milan, pulling up during the warmup just before kick-off. The Portuguese attacker’s unexpected injury forced a reshuffle in the starting XI, with Kenan Yildiz stepping in to replace him. ............ The timing of Conceição’s injury could not have been worse for Juventus. Early indications suggest the problem may be significant, leaving the club concerned about his availability for upcoming matches. While the team awaits the results of medical tests to determine the severity of the injury, the report adds that it is unlikely the winger will be fit for the next game. Juventus face Torino in the first Turin derby of 2025 next weekend, a match that carries immense importance following their disappointing Super Cup exit. Fans are already disheartened by the team’s failure to progress, and they will demand a strong response against their city rivals. A win is not just desirable—it is essential to restore confidence and keep pace in the league. Conceição has been one of Juventus’ standout players this season, contributing significantly with his creativity and attacking flair. However, the team cannot afford to rely too heavily on individual players. The derby against Torino will be a test of the squad’s depth and resilience, especially with Conceição’s availability in doubt. ............ .

Man City sends a loan request to Juventus for struggling midfielder Juventus had high expectations for Douglas Luiz when they signed him during the summer transfer window. The Brazilian midfielder had been one of Aston Villa’s standout performers, leading the Midlands club to an unlikely Champions League qualification last season. His stellar performances attracted interest from several top clubs, with Juventus ultimately securing his services in a deal involving cash and players. ............ Despite flashes of brilliance, his performances have fallen short of expectations, leaving fans and pundits questioning whether he is the right fit for Juventus’ system. Amid his struggles, reports now claim that Manchester City is keen to bring the Brazilian back to the Premier League. City has approached Juventus with an offer to take Luiz on loan for the remainder of the season. However, Juventus swiftly rejected the proposal, signalling their intent to retain the midfielder until at least the summer. While Juve’s decision to decline the loan offer suggests they still see potential in Luiz, it also highlights their current focus on other transfer dealings. The club is reportedly prioritising the sale of other players, such as Nicolo Fagioli, as they look to balance their squad and finances. ............ .

Locatelli reacts to suggestions of Juventus’ lack of desire to win games Manuel Locatelli found himself at fault for one of AC Milan’s goals as they knocked Juventus out of the Super Cup last night, a result that left many fans and analysts disappointed. Juventus were expected to at least reach the final, given their strong start to the match, but after the first 60 minutes, things began to unravel. The Bianconeri, who had shown promise in the early stages, failed to maintain their momentum and were eventually eliminated, with Locatelli’s mistake proving to be one of the crucial turning points. ............ The current Juventus team has struggled with consistency this season, particularly in situations where they have been in winning positions but have failed to see games out. Fans have questioned whether the squad possesses the mentality and desire to consistently win, especially in high-pressure moments. Locatelli was not immune to such criticism, but he responded to the concerns with maturity and responsibility. He stated: “I have to analyse the game, you have to show your face when someone makes a mistake. I think everyone’s goal is to win, I think the coach spoke of obsession but it’s something that must be sought every day at Continassa. It’s something that is always there at Juve and an objective that we give ourselves, it’s the basis of our work.” Locatelli’s mistake, while costly, should not overshadow his generally excellent performances this season. He has been one of Juventus’ standout players, and it is unfortunate that his error occurred at such a critical time. Despite this, he remains an important part of the team, and his leadership qualities will likely be key moving forward. ............ .

How Yildiz stood out on a bad night for Juventus against AC Milan Kenan Yildiz once again demonstrated why he is one of the brightest talents at Juventus, delivering an impressive performance in their Super Cup semi-final clash against AC Milan. Despite the team’s disappointing result, the Turkish youngster was the standout performer for the Bianconeri and proved why he is a player the club should continue to build around. Remarkably, Yildiz wasn’t even in the initial starting lineup for the fixture. His inclusion came as a late adjustment after Francisco Conceição pulled up with an injury during the pre-match warmup. While this unexpected change could have disrupted the team’s plans, Yildiz seized the opportunity with both hands and delivered a performance to remember. The 19-year-old opened the scoring for Juventus, giving the team an early advantage and showcasing his eye for goal. Throughout the game, he remained Juve’s most dangerous player, constantly pressing for a second goal and carrying much of the team’s attacking responsibility on his young shoulders. However, despite his efforts, Juventus ultimately fell short, conceding two late goals that allowed AC Milan to overturn the scoreline and progress to the final. ............ For Juventus, the message is clear: Yildiz is a player they cannot afford to lose. His talent, work ethic, and potential make him a cornerstone for the team’s future. If the club can nurture his development and provide him with consistent opportunities, Yildiz could become a long-term asset at the Allianz Stadium. Ensuring his happiness and growth will be vital to keeping him committed to Juventus as he continues to flourish. ............ .
