“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.” ............

Zhegrova set for Juventus switch: the details

 

 

With not long left to go of the summer transfer window, Juventus have reportedly completed a deal to sign Kosovar winger Edon Zhegrova from Ligue 1 side Lille.

 

According to transfer expert Alfredo Pedullà, the deal has been done for a package in excess of €20 million, with €18-20 million plus bonuses, after the player pushed for a move to the Bianconeri. ............

 

Kosovar winger Zhegrova has had an impressive few seasons in France with Lille, playing over 100 times for the Ligue 1 side in all competitions since joining from Swiss side FC Basel in 2022. ............

 

With a medical looming tomorrow, the Old Lady will be keen to get the deal over the line before the window slams shut.

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. ............

Barcelona and Juventus have an identical list of defenders they are watching

 

 

Juventus and Barcelona are two of the most prominent clubs in European football, consistently competing for domestic and continental honours. The Bianconeri have established themselves as a reliable force across multiple competitions, while Barcelona continue to dominate the Spanish scene, having claimed major domestic success last term. ............

 

Looking ahead to the next transfer window, there are indications that both Juventus and Barcelona are setting their sights on defensive reinforcements. The two clubs have been linked with the same three defenders, signalling overlapping priorities in their recruitment strategies.

 

The players reportedly attracting attention are Lucas Beraldo of PSG, Murillo of Nottingham Forest, and Marc Guéhi of Crystal Palace. Each is regarded as a highly talented defender, and interest from other top European sides is likely to emerge before the window reopens. Juventus and Barcelona may therefore face competition if they decide to pursue these targets, reflecting the high calibre of the individuals involved. ............

 

The pursuit of these players illustrates the broader ambitions of both clubs, as they aim to strengthen critical areas of their squads in preparation for challenging campaigns on multiple fronts. Juventus, having demonstrated greater activity in the previous window, may seek to maintain its momentum, while Barcelona might look to supplement its roster to ensure sustained domestic and continental competitiveness. ............

Juventus is considering signing its own Kevin de Bruyne

 

 

This summer has already seen two of football’s most celebrated veterans make high-profile moves to Serie A, and Juventus is reportedly eager to ensure they do not fall behind their rivals. With Napoli securing Kevin de Bruyne on a free transfer after his departure from Manchester City, and AC Milan welcoming Luka Modric following his exit from Real Madrid, the league has attracted significant attention. Both players have quickly begun to make their presence felt, underlining the quality they still bring at the highest level. ............

 

In response, Juventus are believed to be targeting Bernardo Silva as their own marquee addition. The Portuguese international is approaching the end of his time at Manchester City, with no extension to his current contract expected. This situation opens the door for the Bianconeri, who view him as an ideal figure to strengthen the squad and maintain competitiveness against domestic and European opposition.

 

Juventus are convinced that Silva can still deliver significant value, even at this stage of his career. Despite his age, he continues to play a central role for Manchester City, starting regularly and demonstrating that he remains more than capable of performing at an elite level. ............

 

Silva’s potential willingness to embrace a new challenge may further encourage Juventus in their pursuit. His technical quality, creativity, and experience make him an attractive option for a team eager to respond to the bold signings made by their rivals. The prospect of seeing de Bruyne, Modric, and Silva all featuring in Serie A not only raises the profile of the league but also promises to enhance the level of competition across Italy. ............

Juventus rekindle interest in Saudi Pro League star amidst midfield woes

 

 

Juventus are reportedly considering launching a new onslaught for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic who currently plies his trade in the Saudi Pro League.

 

The Serbian rose to prominence during his time at Lazio between 2015 and 2023, cementing himself as one of the finest midfielders in Serie A at the time. ............

 

This season, Juventus started the campaign with limited options in the middle of the park, and it is already beginning to take its toll on the team.

 

As witnessed in Saturday’s draw against Hellas Verona, Igor Tudor was forced to field the exhausted Khephren Thuram and Manuel Locatelli, and then struggled to replace them, fielding the awkward duo of Teun Koopmeiners and Vasilije Adzic in the second half. ............

 

Juventus could attempt a move for Milinkovic-Savic, whose contract with Al-Hilal will expire next June.

 

The 30-year-old should thus be available for a relatively affordable price, even though his salary could represent an obstacle. ............

 

Milinkovic-Savic is reportedly seeking a new experience in Europe, and believes it is the right time to make his way back to the Old Continent. ............

Juventus will have a problem meeting the salary of Bernardo Silva

 

 

Juventus are reportedly targeting Bernardo Silva as their marquee signing for the summer of 2026, with suggestions that the midfielder may be open to such a move. The club’s ambition is clear, as they look to strengthen their squad by acquiring high-profile talent at the end of the season.

 

The landscape of Italian football has already shifted significantly, with Luka Modric now at AC Milan and Kevin De Bruyne playing for Napoli. ............

 

While Juventus are determined to secure Silva’s signature, they are not the only club pursuing him. Benfica, the team where Silva first developed his career, are also eager to bring him back. This emotional connection to his formative club could weigh heavily in the player’s decision-making process, particularly if Juventus are unable to match his current salary demands.

 

Financial constraints represent the most significant challenge to Juventus’ pursuit. The midfielder currently earns around ten million euros per season at Manchester City, a figure that would be difficult for Juventus to accommodate within their salary cap structure. Although Manchester City appear willing to let Silva leave as they begin to refresh their squad with younger players, the financial side of the deal could still prevent the Bianconeri from completing the move. ............

 

Juventus views Silva as more than just a reinforcement. His potential arrival would symbolise the club’s ambition to remain at the top level both domestically and in Europe. The men in black and white consider him the perfect fit for their tactical set-up and believe his creativity could provide the edge needed in crucial fixtures. ............

Martusciello urges Juve to sign Milinkovic-Savic: “He can do it all”

 

 

Juventus have been told to go after Al-Hilal star Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, as they look to strengthen their midfield department.

 

The Bianconeri sold Nicolo Fagioli to Fiorentina last January, while Douglas Luiz returned to England through the gates of Nottingham Forest in the summer. On the other hand, the Serie A giants didn’t make any additions to the middle of the park, only bringing back Fabio Miretti following a loan spell at Genoa. ............

 

Most observers are now expecting Juventus to address this issue in January, while several reports claimed that the club has revived their interest in Milinkovic-Savic.

 

The Bianconeri spent years chasing the midfielder during his time at Lazio, but he eventually joined Al-Hilal. However, the 30-year-old’s contract with the Saudi Pro League giants is set to expire in June, so he could be available on a cut price in January.

 

For his part, Giovanni Martusciello believes the former Serbian would be the ideal profile to bolster the middle of the park.

 

“Sergej is a great guy. He understands football. He likes to attack but doesn’t shy away from defensive play,” said the 54-year-old in his interview.

 

“He also has an imposing physique, with unique qualities. He can always bring something out of the hat when you least expect it.

 

“His numbers and goals speak for themselves. He’s coming off a few seasons in a league I’m unfamiliar with. But we’re talking about a complete, healthy and intelligent player. He has mental balance and would be able to handle the pressure of Juve.” ............

 

” If I’d had the opportunity, I would have advised him against going to Saudi Arabia. But these are personal choices. However, he has depth and ability, great motivation. He took this step knowing he would return to Europe at some point.

 

“He can play as a central midfielder or in a more attacking role. He knows how to exploit the space as he sees fit. He can do it all, really,” concluded the former Empoli manager.

Juventus is tracking 20-year-old Atalanta jewel

 

 

Juventus did not secure any signings from fellow Serie A clubs during the most recent transfer window, as Damien Comolli’s strategy was firmly focused on acquiring talent from abroad. However, this approach may change at the end of the current campaign, with reports indicating that the Bianconeri have turned their attention towards a promising young player within the Italian league. ............

 

Juventus are closely following the progress of Marco Palestra, who is currently on loan at Cagliari from Atalanta. The full back has impressed with his performances this season, establishing himself as one of the standout young wingbacks in Serie A. His form has not gone unnoticed, and Juventus view him as a potential long-term solution in their defensive ranks.

 

The Bianconeri’s interest is further driven by the fact that they failed to bring in a new right back during the summer, despite the departure of Timothy Weah. Identifying Palestra as a potential replacement, Juventus appear prepared to strengthen their pursuit when the season concludes. ............

 

While Juventus may be considering an approach, Atalanta is reportedly unwilling to sanction Palestra’s departure. The Bergamo-based club are said to regard him as one of their most valuable prospects for the future and remains determined to keep him within their project.

 

Atalanta have historically been reluctant to part with their brightest talents, especially to direct domestic rivals, and this situation is unlikely to be an exception. Nonetheless, player ambition can often influence such scenarios, and should Palestra be tempted by the opportunity to join Juventus, he may push for a move. ............

Juventus identify priority for January transfer window

 

 

Juventus are determined to strengthen their midfield department in January, with ex-Lazio star Sergej Milinkovic-Savic among their top targets.

 

Juventus are prepared to welcome midfield reinforcements in the January transfer window, as club directors have realised that there’s a quality gap in the middle of the park compared to direct domestic rivals. ............

 

Juventus had been chasing a new central midfielder during the summer transfer window, but ended up signing mostly strikers as they welcomed Jonathan David, Lois Openda and Edon Zhegrova, as well as right wing-back Joao Mario. ............

 

Milinkovic-Savic is a long-time Juventus target, and Comolli and Tudor feel the Serbia international could contribute to closing the quality gap with Inter, Milan and Napoli.

 

Juventus remain interested in Morten Hjulmand as well, but the Sporting CP captain is seen as a potential summer target rather than a possible reinforcement in the winter transfer window.

Not only Milinkovic-Savic; Juventus monitoring two other midfielders ahead of January

 

 

Juventus are already studying their midfield options ahead of the January transfer window, and their options go beyond Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

 

The Bianconeri’s lack of depth has already been exposed, with Igor Tudor struggling to find convincing options beyond Manuel Locatelli and Khephren Thuram. ............

 

In recent weeks, Milinkovic-Savic’s name returned in fashion, with Juventus identifying him as the ideal solution.

 

The Serbian playmaker has been a transfer target for the club since his time at Lazio. The 30-year-old currently plies his trade at Al-Hilal, but his contract will expire at the end of the season. ............

 

Italian journalist Ciro Venerato claims that Juventus have the opportunity to sign the creative midfielder in January, but they would first have to sell his countryman, Dusan Vlahovic.

 

“With the sale of Dusan Vlahovic, the midfielder Tudor wanted should arrive,” said the transfer market expert.

 

“The focus is on former Lazio player Milinkovic-Savic, whose contract with Al Hilal is also expiring. The arrival of his friend Inzaghi could create problems for the Old Lady, who has been pressing for months and is ready to offer him a lucrative three-year deal.” ............

 

Venerato also reveals that Juventus have also revived their interest in Al-Ahli’s Franck Kessie, in addition to Olympique Marseille’s Pierre-Emile Hojberg, although both players are considered fallback options. ............

Lille set asking price for Juventus target

 

 

Lille has long been recognised as one of Europe’s leading talent factories, consistently producing high-quality footballers who go on to excel at the highest level. The latest name emerging from their system is Ayyoub Bouaddi, an 18-year-old midfielder who is quickly becoming a vital part of their first-team setup. ............

 

Among those expressing interest is Juventus, which has increasingly shifted its transfer strategy towards signing and developing younger players. The Turin giants are eager to strengthen their squad with promising talent, and Bouaddi is considered a potential long-term asset. For the player himself, the opportunity to join a historic club such as Juventus would undoubtedly be an attractive prospect, even if some observers believe it may be too early for such a move.

 

Lille, however, are well aware of the interest their young midfielder is generating. The French side, often regarded as a selling club, has set an asking price to reflect his potential and importance. ............

 

Lille are prepared to sanction Bouaddi’s departure for a fee in the region of €30 million. This valuation signals their willingness to cash in should the right offer arrive, but it also underlines the high regard in which the player is held. For Juventus, securing his signature would require making substantial funds available, though such an investment could prove valuable in the long term. ............

Juventus plotting January move for Bayern Munich defender

 

 

Reports in Italy claim that Juventus are targeting a move for versatile Bayern Munich full-back Raphael Guerreiro during the January transfer window as Igor Tudor looks to bolster his options out wide. ............

 

The feeling is, however, that Juventus are currently slightly short in their wing-back department, where Andrea Cambiaso, Joao Mario and Juan Cabal are the only natural options.

 

Weston McKennie, a central midfielder by trade, and centre-back Pierre Kalulu have also been covering out wide on numerous occasions this season.

 

In an effort to provide Tudor with more options at wing-back, Juventus will look to secure a low-cost deal for Bayern Munich’s Guerreiro in January according to Wednesday’s reports. ............

 

Guerreiro has only appeared off the bench for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga this season, and Wednesday’s reports claim that the Bavarians will be willing to let him leave in January in order to avoid losing him for free at the end of the campaign. ............

Juventus prepare January onslaught for Molina who already regretted summer snub

 

 

Juventus have rekindled their interest in Atletico Madrid right-back Nahuel Molina who turned down the opportunity to join them in the summer.

 

The Bianconeri will be keen to bolster their wingback department, especially the right side, as Igor Tudor has been deploying Pierre Kalulu, a central defender by trade, in this particular role. ............

 

Last summer, Molina was expected to join Juventus when his compatriot Nico Gonzalez headed in the opposite direction. However, the move never materialised.

 

The 27-year-old preferred to stay at Diego Simeone’s court, as he didn’t want to jeopardise his place in the Argentine national team with a ‘risky’ move to Turin, especially with the World Cup looming on the horizon.

 

Nevertheless, Molina’s decision backfired, as he now finds himself an afterthought at Atletico. ............

 

The 2022 World Cup winner has earned only just over 150 minutes of playing time across all competitions this season.

 

Molina is now ready to reconsider his options, and a move to Juventus would be beneficial for both parties. ............

Juventus target Molina and Norton-Cuffy for January

 

 

Juventus will be looking for a new right wing-back in the January transfer window, and reports in Italy suggest the Bianconeri are interested in Nahuel Molina and Brooke Norton-Cuffy.

 

Juventus will need to add a new right wing-back to their squad in the January transfer window, as Pierre Kalulu has been playing out of position on the flank in the opening games of the campaign. ............

 

Molina remains a target for the Old Lady even if the Argentine snubbed a move to Turin over the summer.

 

The ex-Udinese defender opted to stay in the Spanish capital not to lose a spot in the Argentina national team for the World Cup, but, ironically, he’s been struggling for playing time this season. ............

 

Norton-Cuffy is a Juventus target for the winter transfer window, as the versatile English defender has been brought to Genoa by Marco Ottolini, who could become the new Juventus sporting director in the coming weeks.

Juventus eye free transfer for Milan goalkeeper Maignan after Chelsea attempt

Manchester United opens door for long-term Juventus target to leave

 

 

Juventus has maintained a long-standing interest in Joshua Zirkzee, and it appears that an opportunity has now emerged for the club to secure his signature. The Dutch forward first captured the attention of Juventus during his impressive spell at Bologna under Thiago Motta, where his technical ability, composure, and versatility in attack stood out. Following Motta’s appointment in Turin, the Bianconeri were keen to reunite the pair; however, Manchester United ultimately succeeded in completing the transfer, and Juventus subsequently dismissed Motta. ............

 

Manchester United has now decided to allow the striker to leave in the January transfer window. The club is reportedly open to either a permanent move or a loan deal, in an effort to reduce the number of players not contributing regularly. This development has alerted Juventus, who have long admired the 24-year-old’s qualities and see him as a potential fit for their attacking system under Igor Tudot. ............

 

Juventus has made several additions to strengthen their attack, yet they continue to evaluate opportunities to improve further. With Lois Openda and Jonathan David still adjusting to life in Turin, the Bianconeri remain open to exploring the possibility of adding another forward capable of providing depth and creativity.
