Mariani says a good January window could help Juventus improve

 

 

Juventus is facing mounting challenges in their pursuit of the Serie A title this season. Despite remaining unbeaten in the league, the Bianconeri’s inability to consistently secure victories has hindered their progress. While their unbeaten record may sound impressive, in reality, it holds little weight in the title race, where wins, not draws, define champions. ............

 

Juventus’ inconsistency is compounded by injuries that have disrupted the squad. While injuries are an unavoidable part of football, the team’s reliance on them as an excuse for subpar performances is a concern. For a club of Juve’s stature, depth and adaptability should offset such setbacks.

 

Pedro Mariani emphasised the importance of the upcoming January transfer window in shaping the club’s season:

“So today I see these three, immediately after Lazio and Juve, with the Bianconeri who, perhaps with some help in January, will try to find the right balance.”

 

The January window presents a critical opportunity for Juventus to address their weaknesses and bolster the squad. Reinforcements in key areas could provide the necessary edge to turn draws into victories and re-establish their title credentials. However, this requires smart, decisive action from the management. ............

Thiago Motta has identified his preferred defensive target

 

 

Thiago Motta expects Juventus to bolster their defensive ranks in the January transfer window as the Bianconeri face an uphill task to maintain their competitive edge this season. ............

 

Juventus understands that defensive stability is crucial if they are to achieve their objectives this term, and the upcoming transfer window presents a golden opportunity to address these issues. Reports indicate that the club has already identified potential targets and is working closely with Motta to find the ideal fit for his system.

 

Among the candidates, one name stands out: Benfica’s Antonio Silva. Motta is particularly intrigued by the skillset Silva brings to the table, and the Portuguese defender could be the answer to Juventus’ defensive woes. Despite a challenging season at Benfica, where he has fallen out of favour, Silva’s pedigree is undeniable. In previous campaigns, he was regarded as one of the most promising young defenders in Europe.

 

Juventus is reportedly optimistic that Silva’s current situation at Benfica could work in their favour. His limited playing time this season has potentially lowered his market value, making him a more affordable option for the Italian club. The youngster has all the attributes Motta values in a centre-back: composure on the ball, physicality, and tactical intelligence. ............

Juventus could sign another AC Milan defender this season

 

 

Juventus has recently found an unexpected transfer ally in AC Milan, and they may be set to add another player from their Serie A rivals in the upcoming transfer window. In the summer, Juventus secured Pierre Kalulu on loan from Milan, with an option to make the move permanent, and the defender has proven to be one of the standout players at the Allianz Stadium in recent months. Given the success of that deal, Juventus may now look to strengthen their defence even further by targeting another Milan player. ............

 

Juventus sees signing Tomori as a smart move to bolster their defensive options. The 27-year-old has enjoyed a solid spell in Serie A since his move from Chelsea, with his pace, composure on the ball, and strong aerial presence making him a valuable asset to Milan’s backline. Juventus believes he could be a good fit for their squad and would provide competition for their existing defensive options. ............

Sensational Exchange deal between Juventus & Napoli gaining steam

 

 

While it appeared to be an implausible scenario at first, Juventus and Napoli could end up swapping the services of Nicolo Fagioli and Giacomo Raspadori.

 

According to several outlets in the Italian media, the stars could be lining up for what would be a ground-breaking operation. As the source explains, the players involved are Italian internationals who find themselves in somewhat similar positions, with the lack of playing time being a common theme. ............

 

Fagioli has an ally at Napoli in the shape of the club’s transfer director Giovanni Manna who has a long-standing bond with the midfielder dating back to their time together at Juventus Next Gen. The 35-year-old also supported the player during his darkest period, renewing his contract while he was serving an eight-month ban. ............

 

For his part, Raspadori hasn’t been able to break into Conte’s plans. Nevertheless, he might just be the perfect solution for Motta’s attacking dilemma. The Euro 2020 winner can play as a centre-forward, thus offering cover for Dusan Vlahovic who has been playing non-stop this season, but can also feature as a second striker, or even on the wings. ............

Three positions Juventus should strengthen in January

 

 

The January transfer window presents Juventus with a crucial opportunity to strengthen their squad ahead of the second half of the season. ............

 

During the summer transfer window, they invested heavily in new players. However, the spending appears to have been concentrated on just one area of the team.

 

Juve allocated more resources to the midfield than to any other position, yet the midfield still seems inadequate. ............

 

Central Defense

 

The loss of a key player like Bremer is a significant blow. Juventus would undoubtedly be in a better position if he were still fit.

 

Signing a defender during the upcoming transfer window could ease the pressure on the team. ............

 

Striker

 

Juventus might be one of the only top European clubs relying on just one striker, having taken the risky decision not to sign another forward during the last transfer window.

 

Their justification—waiting for Arkadiusz Milik to regain fitness—seems questionable. Depending solely on the Polish international is unlikely to yield the improvements the team needs. ............

 

Left Wing

 

Thiago Motta introduced Samuel Mbangula in his first match as Juventus manager. The young Belgian has been alternating with Kenan Yildiz on the left wing.

 

While both players show promise, Juventus needs an experienced winger to solidify this role. Acquiring a seasoned player in January could provide the team with more consistency and stability on the left flank.

Serie A giants Juventus are keen to sign Milan defender Fikayo Tomori and want to seal their move quickly.

 

Milan and Juve could meet each other on the negotiation table right after they play their games in the Supercoppa Italiana. ............

 

Juve are looking to close the move as soon as they can once they return from Saudi Arabia and want to get a deal done for a package that could be upto €25 million.

 

It could be an initial loan deal with the obligation to buy, with manager Thiago Motta already having given approval for the move.

Jorge Mendes on Antonio Silva: “He wants Juventus and Juventus want him”

 

 

Talented young Benfica defender Antonio Silva is set to make a strong push for a move to Juventus in the January transfer window. The Italian giants have identified the 21-year-old Portuguese centre-back as their primary target to bolster their defence, which has been hit hard by injuries to key players Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal. ............

 

The Portuguese defender, born in 2003, is seen as the ideal reinforcement for Juventus’ backline. Silva is expected to push Benfica to allow him to move to Italy on loan in January and don the black and white stripes of Juventus.

 

Jorge Mendes, Silva’s agent, has confirmed the player’s desire to join the Turin-based club. ............

 

“He wants Juventus and Juventus wants him. Now it’s up to Benfica to decide. We need a bit of patience, we have to wait a few days. These things can change in 5 minutes during the transfer window, which is still closed for now. He’s an important player, there were several clubs interested in him, but let’s see what Benfica decides as they have the final say.”

 

Mendes also commented on another of his clients, Francisco Conceicao, who is already at Juventus: “His future is at Juventus. He’s very happy to be there, and the club is also happy with him. It will be a relationship that continues for a long time.”

Spanish club steps up interest to completing Arthur’s transfer

 

 

Arthur Melo has had a frustrating first half of the season, remaining entirely redundant as he failed to secure a team to play for. ............

 

The midfielder is now being linked with a potential move to Spain, where three clubs have reportedly expressed interest in signing him. Among these, Real Betis stands out as the most determined suitor.

 

Real Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini is said to be eager to work with the former Barcelona star, reportedly urging the club’s hierarchy to finalise a deal for the 28-year-old when the transfer window opens. Arthur’s previous experience in La Liga, coupled with his technical skills, has made him an attractive prospect for the Andalusian side as they aim to strengthen their midfield. ............

 

For Arthur, a move to Real Betis could represent a much-needed opportunity for redemption. The report suggests that the midfielder would be delighted to join Pellegrini’s team, as it would not only bring him back to competitive football but also place him under a manager who values his abilities. Tuttojuve further notes that Betis could ramp up their efforts to secure Arthur’s signature in the coming days, reflecting their seriousness about the transfer. ............

Juventus 'reject Marcus Rashford transfer' with Old Lady 'more interested' in Red Devils teammate

 

 

Rashford has been left out of Man United's last four matchday squads and is widely expected to leave Old Trafford in January, with the England international recently expressing a desire to seek pastures new.

 

According to The Sun, Juventus were recently contacted to discuss Rashford, but the Turin giants made it clear that they would not be interested in signing the Red Devils academy product at this moment in time.

 

However, the report claims that Juventus are keen on Zirkzee, with the Netherlands international also being heavily linked with a departure ahead of the winter transfer window.

 

Zirkzee has scored just four times in 26 appearances for Man United this term and could return to Serie A in 2025, with Inter Milan and Napoli also believed to be interested in the ex-Bologna forward. ............

 

Zirkzee is currently involved for Man United, and despite his struggles, it would be a surprise to see the Dutchman leave in the winter window due to the team's lack of options in that area of the field.

 

Indeed, unless a replacement can be signed, which will be very difficult in the January market, then Zirkzee is likely to complete the season at Old Trafford before his future is discussed. ............

Juventus opens the door for three players to leave in January

 

 

Juventus has reportedly decided to cash in on Danilo during the upcoming January transfer window, just six months before the Brazilian’s contract is set to expire. The defender, who has served as the club’s captain, has been a consistent presence in the team, earning significant playing time in recent months. However, the Bianconeri appear prepared to part ways with him as they aim to reshape their squad. ............

 

One of the most serious suitors for Danilo’s signature is Napoli, who has reportedly been monitoring his situation closely in recent weeks. Juventus, aware of this interest, is now open to letting the experienced defender leave in January. ............

 

The report states that Nicolo Fagioli and Arthur Melo are two additional players Juventus is actively looking to sell. Both midfielders have struggled to establish themselves as indispensable members of the squad, making them expendable as the club seeks to rebuild. ............

Juventus is trying to lower Hancko’s asking price with a swap deal

 

 

Juventus is eager to secure the signing of David Hancko during the January transfer window as part of their plan to strengthen their defence for the second half of the season. The Bianconeri are looking to address vulnerabilities at the back and see Hancko as a versatile option who could significantly enhance their squad.

 

The 27-year-old defender, currently at Feyenoord, is particularly appealing to Juventus due to his ability to play in multiple positions. A left-footed player, Hancko can operate as a centre-back or as a left-back, offering tactical flexibility to manager Thiago Motta. This versatility makes him a highly attractive prospect, as it would provide the team with greater depth and options in crucial defensive areas. ............

 

Feyenoord is reportedly demanding a substantial fee for the Slovakian international, which could complicate negotiations.

 

To reduce the financial burden of the transfer, Juventus is exploring creative solutions. The club plans to include Facundo Gonzalez and Samuel Mbangula in the deal as permanent transfers. Both players are talented prospects, and their inclusion in the offer could help sweeten the deal for Feyenoord. ............

 

Hancko himself is reportedly open to joining a top European club like Juventus, and the Italian giants are optimistic that Feyenoord will accept their proposal. The defender’s experience, composure, and tactical intelligence make him an ideal target for Juventus, especially as they look to solidify their defensive ranks in pursuit of silverware. ............

Tacchinardi discusses how many players Juventus needs to sign in January

 

 

Juventus is expected to be one of the busiest clubs in the January transfer window as they aim to strengthen their squad and finish the season on a high note. The Bianconeri have faced a challenging first half of the campaign, remaining unbeaten in Serie A but needing more victories to truly compete for the league title.

 

To address their shortcomings, Juventus plans to reinforce key areas in the squad when the transfer window opens. ............

 

While speculation surrounds the names Juve might add to their roster, former club star Alessio Tacchinardi has weighed in on what the team truly needs before the window closes. Tacchinardi offered his perspective on the areas requiring urgent attention. He stated, “How many defenders do we need? At least two. We’re expecting a difficult January. Giuntoli must make the difference. For me, the Douglas Luiz situation needs to be monitored. If he’s not at his best, if I believe in you, I’ll ask you to come even with just one leg. I haven’t seen much chemistry with Danilo either. With them and their relationship with Motta, something doesn’t add up. I don’t know if it’s nerves or if something happened. If Danilo leaves, Juve needs a player right away. Not like Koop who arrived at the last minute. We need 2 slash 3 players.” ............

 

With all eyes on sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli, Juventus fans remain confident that decisive moves will be made. Everyone involved in decision-making at the Allianz Stadium is aware of the importance of bolstering the squad next month. Whether it’s the defence or other positions, new signings are essential if Juve is to compete for silverware in the latter half of the season.

Juventus and Real Betis hit disagreement over Arthur Melo loan

 

 

Juventus and Real Betis have hit an impasse in their negotiations over Arthur Melo, with talks stalling due to differences in the terms of the loan agreement. The Brazilian midfielder has not featured in any competitive matches this season, having been made surplus to requirements by the Bianconeri. After failing to secure a move earlier in the year, Arthur is eager to find a new club for the second half of the campaign, and Real Betis has emerged as a potential destination. ............

 

The main point of contention is the structure of the loan deal. Juventus is reportedly seeking to include an option or an obligation for Betis to make the move permanent at the end of the season. However, Betis is not keen on adding such a clause to the agreement. The Spanish club is only interested in a simple six-month loan with no commitment beyond the current season.

 

Additionally, Betis is willing to cover the entirety of Arthur’s salary during his loan spell, which could help Juventus alleviate some of their wage burden. Despite this, the Bianconeri must now decide whether to accept Betis’ terms or hold out for a more favourable deal. ............

Journalist says Juventus need a mini revolution next month

 

 

Juventus will have a second opportunity to strengthen their squad when the January transfer window opens next month. The Bianconeri have faced a challenging season so far, losing some key players to injury and transfers, and there is now a pressing need to replace them. The club might also look to offload some of their current options in an attempt to balance the squad and finances. ............

 

As 2024 comes to a close, Paolo Paganini, a well-respected football commentator, shared his expectations for Juventus’ transfer activity in the upcoming window. He said: “With Danilo’s farewell, Juventus will necessarily have to expand the market. Two defenders, a striker, and a midfielder if Fagioli leaves. A mini-revolution, in short.” ............

 

The Bianconeri will need to be active in the market to bring in players who can make an immediate impact. While signing top-tier players next month may prove challenging, Juventus has the financial resources to make strategic moves if they are willing to make funds available. With the right investments, the club can bring in quality stars who can improve their chances of success for the remainder of the season. ............

Everton want Arthur but he says no because of one big reason

 

 

Arthur Melo has emerged as a target for several clubs ahead of the January transfer window, with Everton reportedly showing significant interest in signing the Brazilian midfielder. ............

 

Everton’s interest comes as no surprise, given their struggles in midfield this season and their need to strengthen the squad to avoid the threat of relegation. The Premier League side reportedly sees Arthur as a player who can bring experience and technical quality to their midfield. However, despite Everton’s declared intent to secure his signature, Arthur appears unwilling to consider a move to Goodison Park.

 

Arthur’s loyalty to Liverpool, where he spent a loan spell last season, is the primary reason he has dismissed the idea of joining Everton. While his stint at Liverpool was brief and injury-plagued, the midfielder reportedly holds the club in high regard and does not wish to play for their city rivals. This stance complicates matters for Juventus, who are eager to find a new home for the 28-year-old to reduce their financial burden and focus on players who can contribute meaningfully to the team. ............

 

Arthur’s situation underscores the complexities of the January transfer market, where both clubs and players face competing priorities. While Juventus is determined to offload him, the midfielder is equally keen to choose a club where he can revive his career without compromising his personal loyalties. It remains to be seen which club will step forward with an offer that satisfies all parties involved. ............

Juventus’ offer for young defender rejected – Formula & figures revealed

 

 

Juventus have reportedly made an opening bid for Antonio Silva but they received a swift rejection from Benfica who weren’t tempted by the figures.

 

The Bianconeri are looking to sign a new centre-back to make up for Gleison Bremer’s absence as well as Danilo’s seemingly imminent departure, and the 21-year-old has been one of the main names on the club’s shortlist, alongside Fikayo Tomori and David Hancko.

 

The Serie A giants feel they stand a good chance at landing Silva, especially thanks to their good rapport with his agent Jorge Mendes. ............

 

Nevertheless, the Benfica manager has recently insisted that the club’s young jewels, including Silva, aren’t for sale, and that any suitor who wishes to buy one of them would have to activate the player’s release clause. In Silva’s case, that would be 100 million euros. ............

 

The Bianconeri proposed a loan until the end of the season for 5 million euros with an option to buy the defender at the end of the season for 30 million euros.

 

Nevertheless, the Eagles weren’t impressed, so they were quick to turn down the offer, remaining true to the manager’s aforementioned words, at least for the time being. ............

Juventus Not Close to Any of Their Defensive Targets

 

 

Juventus have run into troubles in the negotiations for their primary defensive targets, Fikayo Tomori, Antonio Silva, and David Hancko. It’s unlikely any one of them will join in the first few days of January as they wanted to. ............

 

Thiago Motta considers Tomori an ideal reinforcement, but there have been no formal contacts between the two clubs yet. The Rossoneri are rigid and value the player despite his limited role in this campaign. His price tag is about €30M.

 

Moreover, Benfica didn’t take well Jorge Mendes explicitly nudging Antonio Silva toward Juventus. ............

 

Feyenoord haven’t opened to an initial loan for Hancko, but he’s eager to join a top team. ............

Juventus makes an offer to sign a second AC Milan defender in six months

 

 

The outstanding success of Pierre Kalulu at Juventus has inspired the club to pursue another AC Milan defender, as they look to strengthen their defensive options. ............

 

The Bianconeri have turned their attention to Fikayo Tomori, another talented AC Milan defender. The former Chelsea man has enjoyed a strong spell in Serie A and has proven himself to be a dependable and skilful centre-back. Juventus is reportedly keen on bringing Tomori to Turin during the January transfer window and has already submitted an offer to Milan for his services.

 

The proposal from Juventus involves signing Tomori on an initial loan deal with a clause to make the move permanent in the summer, contingent on certain conditions being met. However, AC Milan prefers a straightforward sale and has set their asking price at €25 million. For now, the Rossoneri have not accepted Juve’s offer, though negotiations could intensify as the transfer window approaches.

 

Tomori himself is reportedly open to the move, and a switch to the Allianz Stadium could mark the next step in his career. ............

 

While Milan may be reluctant to part ways with another key defender, Juventus seems determined to capitalise on the situation. If they manage to secure Tomori’s signature, it would be another significant coup for the club as they aim to fortify their team for the second half of the season and beyond.

Zirkzee subbed off after 33 minutes as Juventus rumours intensify

 

 

Manchester United striker and Juventus target Joshua Zirkzee went through a humiliating moment as he was replaced after just 33 minutes during his side’s 2-0 defeat at the hands of Newcastle, with the home crowd loudly cheering the decision as he walked off the pitch.

 

The Red Devils put in another dismal display under new coach Ruben Amorim, who was desperate to change something after watching his team concede twice in the opening 20 minutes, only to decide to replace the former Bologna striker with Kobbie Mainoo. ............

 

The Dutchman first headed straight to the tunnel before coming back and taking his place on the bench with the hood pulled over his head.

 

Asked to explain the decision after the game, Amorim admitted it was a ‘tough’ call but insisted that ‘it was important for him to come out’ as the forward was ‘suffering’. ............

.

As a result, Zirkzee is now likely to be even more willing to leave Old Trafford in January, with Teamtalk claiming that he has instructed his agents to evaluate proposals coming from Serie A clubs, who look particularly eager to bring the striker back to Italy. ............

Barcelona offers Juventus a player surplus to requirements

 

 

Juventus has reportedly been presented with an opportunity to sign Andreas Christensen from Barcelona as they work to reinforce their defence during the January transfer window. The Bianconeri have faced significant challenges at the back this season, losing two key defenders to injury and placing Danilo on the transfer list. ............

 

Barcelona has offered Juventus the chance to acquire Christensen. The Spanish club is exploring ways to free up squad space to register Dani Olmo permanently. Olmo had been temporarily registered during Christensen’s six-month injury absence earlier in the season. However, with the Danish defender now fit, Barcelona faces difficulties keeping both players on their books under financial and squad registration constraints.

 

Christensen is a proven defender with experience at the highest level, having previously impressed during his stints with Chelsea and Barcelona. His availability could give Juventus a reliable option to plug gaps in their defence. However, the decision may ultimately rest with Juventus manager Thiago Motta, who will need to determine if the Danish international fits into his plans and style of play. ............
