Gianluca Di Marzio has reported that Thiago Motta will be heading to Juventus, becoming the latest top Italian transfer expert to state that his appointment is essentially as good as done. This managerial change from Max Allegri to Thiago Motta will come as music to the ears of Juventini, who have been increasingly frustrated with "Mad Max" and his lethargic, ultra-defensive style. Juventus feel like yesterday's news in Italian football, plodding in third with more than 20 points separating them from the title, while Motta has made Bologna the "It" club and within a stone's throw of a fairytale Champions League qualification. It looks like Thiago Motta won't see the fairytale through, though, and will instead be tasked with saving Juventus from another dark period in their otherwi...

Once in the Serie A title race, Juventus have fallen a whopping 22 points behind bitter rivals Inter Milan, who already secured the league title this week. Worse yet, Juventus have fallen behind another rival, AC Milan, and are currently five points behind the Rossoneri. Milan are considering firing Stefano Pioli because they are so far behind their crosstown rivals, so Juventini are understandably hoping for a similar outcome for Max Allegri, who has been much less successful in his second stint for Juve than Pioli has been for Milan. Juventus will host Milan on Saturday on Matchday 34 of Serie A, hoping to close the gap on the Rossoneri in the table and maintain a hold on third place with competing top-four sides Roma and Bologna not far behind the Bianconeri. Here is a starting...

Juventus have to think about how they want to plan their goalkeeping situation in the long term, because even though they have two of the best keepers in Serie A, both men will be out of contracts before the 2025/26 season. Wojciech Szczesny has been one of the best goalkeepers in Italian football over the past several years since leaving Arsenal for Roma, where he saved 76.6 percent of the shots he faced in his final season before joining top dogs Juventus and winning three straight Scduetti. Although the Polish international is still excellent and has saved 76 percent of the shots he's faced this season, his backup, Mattia Perin, is arguably just as good. Both Perin and Szczesny will be free agents in the summer 2025 transfer window, and if Juventus want to cash in on one of the...

Juventus have been pushing to sign Monza star goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio this summer, with the long-term view of replacing both Wojciech Szczesny and Mattia Perin. Szczesny and Perin are two of the best goalkeepers in Serie A, but both men are on expiring contracts in 2025. Furthermore, Di Gregorio has outplayed both in the 2023/24 league campaign, with only Inter Milan star Yann Sommer boasting a higher save percentage in the Italian top flight. According to a report from Nicolo Schira, Juventus have reached an agreement in principle to sign Michele Di Gregorio from Monza this summer. Schira says the agreement is between the player for a contract worth two million euros per season and bonuses. The contract would keep Di Gregorio with Juventus through 2028/29, meaning the club...

Juventus do not necessarily need a new goalkeeper, but with the contracts of top Serie A keepers Wojciech Szczesny and Mattia Perin set to expire in 2025, the Bianconeri could cash in on one of them and sign someone as a replacement - or even upgrade. Szczesny and Perin have been two of the best in Serie A for years now, so signing someone who could conceivably be an upgrade on them isn't easy. However, Juventus may have found the right man. According to a report from Nicolo Schira, Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli recently met with Monza CEO Adriano Galliani, because the Bianconeri are "really interested" in signing goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio. Per Schira, Monza would like to receive 20 million euros in exchange for the 26-year-old, but Juventus could potentially ...
