“Open to negotiations” – Lille president give Juventus major Zhegrova boost

 

 

Juventus now have a clear path to sign LOSC Lille winger Edon Zhegrova following the latest comments made by the president of the French club.

 

The Bianconeri have already recruited the Kosovan’s former teammate, Jonathan David, but they didn’t have to negotiate a deal with the Ligue 1 side, as the Canadian had run down his contract before arriving in Turin as a free agent. ............

 

The good relations between the two clubs further flourished with the appointment of Damien Comolli as Juventus General Director, as the latter shares an amicable rapport with Lille president, Olivier Letang. ............

 

“Edon Zhegrova will not sign for Olympique Marseille,” insisted Letang in his interview following his club’s stunning 7-1 victory over Lorient.

“However, if an offer comes in from another club, we are open to negotiations.” ............

Openda arrive to complete Juventus transfer

 

 

Imminent Juventus signings Edon Zhegrova and Lois Openda are only hours away from finalising their respective transfers. ............

 

Openda is a Belgian striker who has been identified by the club as an alternative to Randal Kolo Muani after failing to find an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain, much to the French player’s dismay.

 

The 25-year-old is thus finalising his transfer from RB Leipzig. He is expected to sign on loan with an obligation to buy worth €45-50 million. ............

Official: Juventus sign Edon Zhegrova

 

 

Juventus have completed the signing of Kosovar winger Edon Zhegrova from Lille, for a fee of around €15 million plus a further €3 million in bonuses. ............

 

26-year-old winger Zhegrova joins the Old Lady after the club deposited his contract with the league, making the Kosovar international’s move to Turin official.

 

On their official website, the Bianconeri welcomed the winger: “Zhegrova brings flair, speed and a technical repertoire that will enhance Juventus’ attacking potential. Capable of playing on both flanks, he will be a new weapon in coach Igor Tudor’s arsenal.” ............

 

According to various outlets, one of the major factors in getting a deal over the line was the player’s desire to join Juventus, as the Kosovar becomes the latest of a number of strong signings the club have gifted head coach Igor Tudor with this season. ............

 

Alongside today’s deadline day pursuit of Lois Openda, Juventus have signed Jonathan David and Joao Mario, alongside completing permanent deals for Francisco Conceiçao and Michele Di Gregorio.

Official: Lois Openda signs for Juventus

 

 

Juventus have completed the signing of Belgian forward Lois Openda from RB Leipzig, for a reported fee in the region of €40 million. ............

 

Later this evening, the side confirmed the deal on their official website, welcoming the Belgian: “His energy, enthusiasm and technical qualities will now be at the service of Juventus, in a new adventure that Openda is embarking on with determination and a desire to win.” ............

 

Obstacles in the club’s pursuit of Kolo Muani led the Bianconeri to give up on the Frenchman, instead pursuing a deal for Openda – which general manager Damien Comolli wrapped up quickly.

 

Juventus will reportedly pay around €40 million for the 25-year-old, who completed his medical tests this afternoon ahead of the transfer deadline. ............

Zhegrova: ‘Juventus can win many titles with our quality’

 

 

Edon Zhegrova says it is ‘a dream’ for him to wear the Juventus jersey after the transfer from LOSC, believing they ‘can win titles with the quality that we have.’ ............

 

A formal statement confirms Juventus paid €14.3m to LOSC, payable over four instalments, plus €1.2m in add-ons. There are also a further maximum of €3m in performance-related bonuses. ............

 

“It’s like a dream for me, an amazing moment for me and my family. I feel honoured to wear this shirt, and I am going to wear it with a lot of pride. I’m going to give my best to this team,” Zhegrova told the official Juventus website.

 

“My preferred position is right winger. My style of play is dribbling, scoring goals, giving assists, helping my team with my quality.” ............

 

Has the 26-year-old set himself any particular targets for this season?

 

“Scoring a lot, winning many titles, and I think with this team, we can win titles with the quality that we have.”

 

Zhegrova will probably be able to make his debut for Juventus in the Derby d’Italia against Inter, which is coming up straight after the break for international duty.

 

“To the Bianconeri fans, I cannot wait to meet you all at the stadium. Let the show begin!”

Balerdi is furious after his club failed to allow him to join Juventus

 

 

Juventus demonstrated genuine interest in signing Leonardo Balerdi during the summer transfer window, and the Olympique Marseille captain was reportedly open to a move to Turin.

 

Manager Igor Tudor, who previously worked with the Argentine defender at Marseille, was keen on a reunion, an idea that Balerdi himself also shared. ............

 

According to reports, Balerdi was well aware of Juventus’s interest and was enthusiastic about the possibility of making the switch. He is said to have viewed the Bianconeri as the ideal next step in his career and strongly hoped the transfer could materialise. Even as the window progressed, he maintained the belief that an agreement might still be reached between the two clubs before the deadline.

 

However, Marseille held firm and refused to enter negotiations. Their reluctance effectively closed the door on any potential move, despite the defender’s growing desire to join the Italian giants. ............

 

Balerdi has been left furious by how the situation unfolded. The report suggests that he does not understand why Marseille denied him the opportunity and did not even allow Juventus the chance to present a formal offer. His frustration stems from a belief that the move could have been significant for his career development, particularly under a manager who knows his qualities well. ............

How Giovanni Manna lured Barido to Napoli this summer

 

 

Juventus have lost one of its brightest academy prospects, Francisco Baridó, to Napoli after being unable to secure his signature on a new contract. The highly rated Argentinian teenager had been seen as a player with the potential to eventually break into the Bianconeri first team, but his departure now represents a significant blow for the Turin side. ............

 

Juventus had been attempting for several months to secure Baridó on a long-term contract. However, their efforts were met with resistance, largely because Giovanni Manna, who Juventus had employed until last season, had already been in discussions with the player and his family about a possible move to Naples.

 

Manna, who played a key role in Baridó’s original move to Juventus, has since taken up a leading role at Napoli. This summer, he was involved in negotiations with Juventus for Fabio Miretti, although a deal between the two clubs could not be reached. Having failed in that pursuit, Manna redirected his efforts towards Baridó and ultimately succeeded in convincing him to join the Partenopei. ............

 

For Juventus, his departure is a reminder of the challenges they face in retaining young prospects at a time when rival clubs are increasingly aggressive in the market for emerging talent. Losing a player of Baridó’s quality at just 17 years of age will undoubtedly be seen as a setback for the Bianconeri, who had invested considerable effort in his progression. ............

The position Juventus failed to strengthen in the summer

 

 

Juventus have concluded what has widely been described as a successful transfer window, with the Bianconeri securing several important signings and strengthening their squad ahead of the new campaign. The men in black and white have already begun to show promising performances, fuelling optimism among their supporters. ............

 

One of the areas most improved over the summer was Juventus’ attack. The Bianconeri now boast some of the finest forwards in Serie A, giving Tudor a welcome dilemma in terms of team selection. With so many quality options available, the manager can adapt his strategies to suit both domestic and European fixtures, something that will be crucial as the season progresses.

 

However, it appears that not all areas of the squad were addressed to the same degree. Juventus could have done more to reinforce their wing-back positions, which are vital in Tudor’s tactical system. While the club managed to bring in several top players elsewhere, their lack of targeted reinforcements on the flanks has left questions about squad balance. ............

 

The report highlights that, although Juventus currently have defenders who can step into wide roles, some of them may lack the ideal attributes required for Tudor’s system. In particular, the profile of Lloyd Kelly was mentioned as not fully suiting the demands of a left-wing-back at the club. Given how important dynamic and technically proficient wing-backs are in Tudor’s preferred setup, this shortfall could become an issue over the course of a long season. ............

Why did Juventus fail to sign Jonathan Clauss?

 

 

Igor Tudor had been eager to secure the services of Jonathan Clauss during the summer transfer window, but the deadline passed without the defender joining the club.

 

Following the departure of Timothy Weah, Juventus found themselves short of options at right back, a position that required reinforcement to strengthen the overall squad. ............

 

While Juventus initially made enquiries about the possibility of signing Clauss, the club’s attention shifted to other targets. Efforts were concentrated on alternative signings, and negotiations for Clauss were not prioritised. As the transfer deadline approached and many teams struggled to complete last-minute deals, Juventus revived its interest and sought to explore the feasibility of bringing the defender to Turin.

 

The Bianconeri made an approach to Nice in the final stages of the window. They intended to secure Clauss on a loan arrangement, thereby filling the gap on the right side of defence. Despite this late effort, the proposal did not meet the expectations of the French side, who considered the player too important to release under such terms and at such a late juncture in the market. ............

 

While the outcome was disappointing, the emphasis must now turn towards optimising the existing resources within the squad. ............
