Kelly or Hancko – Which defender is better for Juventus?

 

Juventus wanted to sign Lloyd Kelly as a free agent from Bournemouth in the summer, but he chose to join Newcastle United.

 

The Englishman could be on the move again this month after failing to establish himself in the Newcastle team. ............

 

Another defender that Juve wants to sign is David Hancko from Feyenoord, and both have a similar profile, meaning Juve wants them for almost the same reason.

 

Like Hancko, Kelly is a left-footed defender adept at playing as a centre-back or as a left-back, so they both offer the Bianconeri versatility, which Thiago Motta values in his players.

 

Juve is struggling to sign both stars after Newcastle United and Feyenoord rejected loan approaches for both players. ............

 

Hancko gets more game time now and is probably up to speed with the season, meaning he can contribute immediately.

 

However, Kelly is a fine player who should also not need much time to get up to speed if he completes the move to the Allianz Stadium. ............

Juventus’ Double Defensive Mission: Giuntoli Targets Kelly and Veiga as Chelsea Eye Douglas Luiz

 

Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli is on a dual mission to bolster the club’s defence before the transfer window closes. The Bianconeri are pursuing Newcastle’s Lloyd Kelly and Chelsea’s Renato Veiga, with Giuntoli recently traveling to London to accelerate negotiations.

 

Progress has been made in talks for Kelly, who offers versatility as both a full-back and centre-back. Newcastle have opened the door for a loan with an option to buy, but Juventus is cautious about exceeding their budget. The English defender’s ability to play multiple positions makes him an attractive target for the Italian giants.

 

Simultaneously, discussions are ongoing with Chelsea regarding Portuguese defender Renato Veiga. During these negotiations, the name of Douglas Luiz has emerged as a point of interest for the London club. Chelsea is keen on a loan deal for the Brazilian midfielder, while Juventus prefers a permanent transfer to generate funds. ............

 

Amidst these defensive pursuits, Juventus is also finalizing the arrival of Randal Kolo Muani. Giuntoli expressed optimism about the transfer, stating, “I believe everything will be resolved shortly. They’re completing the final documents, and we should have it done by tomorrow at the latest.” ............

 

Giuntoli emphasized the club’s focus on strengthening rather than selling. “We don’t want to conduct outgoing transfers, but rather enhance the squad”. ............

Juventus sets a new asking price for exciting youngster

 

Juventus have reportedly set a new asking price for Samuel Mbangula, a player who has continued to impress as part of their team this season.

 

The Belgian youngster has risen through the ranks of Juve’s Next Gen squad, a system the club has relied on heavily to develop new talents. ............

 

Earlier in the season, reports suggested Juventus valued Mbangula at around €8 million. However the club now considers the player to be worth significantly more. The report claims Juventus will not entertain offers below €30 million for the Belgian, underlining the progress he has made and his growing importance to the team. ............

 

Selling Mbangula at this stage would be a difficult decision for Juventus, given his impact and the likelihood that his value could increase further with continued development. While his market value has soared, the club should prioritise retaining him to ensure long-term stability and success. ............

Kolo Muani gets all-clear for Juventus as PSG sell Bernat

 

Paris Saint-Germain have sold Juan Bernat to Villarreal, therefore allowing Juventus to register Randal Kolo Muani for the showdown with Napoli. ............

 

This is due to the fact PSG have already filled their limit of players available out on loan abroad and could not legally release another until that was resolved.

 

They needed to sell someone and Sky Sport Italia report that has now happened, with Bernat’s contract terminated by mutual consent so he can sign a six-month deal with Villarreal, where he was already on loan. ............

 

This means Kolo Muani should be available for Juventus in the Serie A showdown with leaders Napoli on Saturday. ............

Juventus, Chelsea agree to loan deal for Renato Veiga

 

For the second time in a week, Juventus have turned toward the country of Portugal to provide themselves with some much-needed depth in defense.

 

This one, however, is much more of a short-term fix.

 

Juventus and Chelsea have agreed to a short-term loan deal for Portuguese defender Renato Veiga. The 21-year-old center back who can also play on the left had only signed with Chelsea from FC Basel last summer in a move worth €14 million, but he had only made a combined 13 appearances between the Premier League and the UEFA Conference League, thus making him very much available to make a January loan move. Juventus reportedly beat out the likes of Borussia Dortmund and others to secure Veiga’s services through the second half of the 2024-25 season.

 

Juventus will reportedly pay a loan fee of around €4.5-€5 million to secure Veiga’s services for the next six months — which probably speaks more to the Bianconeri’s desperation to finally secure an option behind Federico Gatti and Pierre Kalulu more than anything else. Chelsea are reportedly covering Veiga’s salary for the next six months and agent fees. ............

 

Veiga would simply give Juventus manager Thiago Motta an alternative to Federico Gatti and Pierre Kalulu — who have played the most minutes out of any Juve players in all competitions this season. ............

Kolo Muani freed for Juventus move and choses squad number

 

Randal Kolo Muani’s move to Juventus is expected to be announced on Thursday as his move from PSG has now been ‘unblocked’, and the Frenchman has already decided which squad number to take at the Allianz Stadium having trained with his new teammates at the start of the week. ............

 

Kolo Muani’s move to Juventus is expected to be announced on Thursday. 

 

The Frenchman has decided to wear the no.20 shirt for the remainder of the 2024-25 season.

Official: Juventus sign Kolo Muani on loan from PSG

 

Juventus have finally been able to officially announce the signing of Randal Kolo Muani on loan from Paris Saint-Germain after red tape delays.

 

The deal is a dry loan until June 30, so there is no option to buy at the end of the season. ............

 

Just hours later, Juventus were finally able to announce the arrival of Kolo Muani.

 

It means the France international will be available for Saturday’s Serie A match against leaders Napoli.

 

The 26-year-old came through the FC Nantes academy and shot to fame at Eintracht Frankfurt, earning a €95m transfer to Paris Saint-Germain in September 2023.

 

He scored two goals with one assist in 14 competitive games for PSG so far this season.

Kolo Muani: ‘Proud to be at legendary Juventus’, ‘Motta made me want to sign’

 

Randal Kolo Muani says that he is ‘proud’ to be at a ‘legendary’ club like Juventus, and has explained how Thiago Motta managed to convince him to move to Turin from Paris Saint-Germain.

 

Juventus have officially announced the signing of the Frenchman on a six-month loan deal until the end of the 2024-25 season. ............

 

“I’m very, very happy to be here at this legendary club. I’m proud to wear these colours and play in front of the fans,” the France international said during his first interview with the club.

 

Asked which players from Juventus’s long list of French players he admires the most, he said: “There are lots of French players who have made history here. Zinedine Zidane, of course, David Trezeguet is another one I like a lot. A bit closer to our time, there’s Paul Pogba and also Khephren Thuram is doing very well here, so I’m delighted to be here.”

 

He also revealed what Thiago Motta said to convince him to join the Bianconeri: “I’ve been chatting for a while with the coach, he told me about the style of play here and that made me want to sign here. I can’t wait to start training and get out on the pitch.” ............

 

“I don’t have a preference between the two, I just prefer to be on the pitch,” he replied. “I’ll play wherever the coach puts me. If I had to choose, I would say as a centre-forward, that’s where I can express myself best.”

 

There was also a final greeting for the Juventus supporters: “I hope to see you soon in the stadium, ciao ciao.”

Juventus sensationally revive their interest in unhappy West Ham defender

 

Juventus are reportedly considering an onslaught for West Ham United defender Jean-Clair Todibo after courting him in the summer.

 

After missing out on their main target Riccardo Calafiori in favour of Arsenal, the Bianconeri turned to the French defender and were reportedly on the verge of finalizing an agreement with OGC Nice worth around 35 million euros.

 

However, the negotiations stalled in the final stages, and the former Barcelona man eventually lost patience, so he ended up accepting a move to West Ham. On the other hand, Juventus resorted to Pierre Kalulu. ............

 

Todibo would like to leave West Ham and start a new chapter elsewhere, and has now gained himself a not-so-new suitor in the shape of Juventus.

 

The Bianconeri already have an agreement in hand for Chelsea youngster Renato Veiga who will join the club on loan until the end of the season, but Cristiano Giuntoli and company could return to London with a second defender in the bag.

 

The Bianconeri will reportedly keep an eye on the West Ham wantaway to understand if he could be a concrete solution. But in the meantime, they will continue to pursue Newcastle United defender Lloyd Kelly who is struggling for playing time this season, as well as Udinese’s Thomas Kristensen who remains on the shortlist. ............

Renato Veiga set to join Juventus on loan - but he'll be back at Chelsea in the summer

 

 Juventus will pay a €5 million (£3.8m/$5.2m) loan fee for Veiga’s services, with an additional €1m potentially due in bonuses based on performance. The agreement does not include a purchase option, ensuring Veiga’s eventual return to Chelsea later this year. ............

 

Chelsea had indicated their willingness to loan out Veiga, provided that both playing opportunities and financial terms were met. While Marseille and Borussia Dortmund were among the clubs initially interested in securing Veiga, Juventus ultimately met the criteria laid out by the Premier League side to lure him to Turin. ............

 

Veiga has struggled to secure consistent playing time at Chelsea. Despite making 18 appearances for the Blues this season, he has only started one Premier League match. Most of his contributions have come in the Conference League. ............

Chelsea’s Veiga expected in Turin today to complete Juventus loan

 

 

Renato Veiga is expected to arrive in Turin today, with Juventus ready to announce him as their new January reinforcement after reaching an agreement with Chelsea upon a loan deal.

 

After signing Alberto Costa from Vitoria SC about 10 days ago, the Bianconeri kept working to provide coach Thiago Motta with another player in a department plagued by serious injuries.

 

Fabrizio Romano reported on Sunday afternoon that the 21-year-old is expected to travel from England to Turin later in the day, as Juventus are ready to make his signing official. ............

 

Romano also confirmed the Old Lady will pay around €5m for the straight loan, while the Premier League giants will keep paying the player’s salary for the next months before welcoming him back to Stamford Bridge in the summer. ............

West Ham & Juventus agree on transfer formula for unhappy defender

 

 

Juventus are still pushing to secure the services of Jean-Clair Todibo who didn’t enjoy a great first half of the season at West Ham United.

 

The 25-year-old was one of the Bianconeri’s main tranfer targets to bolster the backline last summer. The club was one the verge of sealing an agreement with OGC Nice, but the player grew impatient when the talks hit a snag, so he decided to accept the Hammers’ proposal.

 

However, the Frenchman’s first few months in East London were underwhelming, to say the least. ............

 

Motta called Todibo in recent hours, personally inviting him to join his ranks.

 

Moreover, West Ham have reportedly agreed to send the former Barcelona man on loan with an option to buy, a formula that certainly pleases Juventus. ............

Renato Veiga arrives for Juventus medical ahead of transfer from Chelsea

 

 

Chelsea defender Renato Veiga has arrived at the J| Medical Centre to undergo his medical tests ahead of his tranfer to Juventus.

 

The two clubs reached an agreement in recent days over a dry loan until the end of the season which will cost the Bianconeri 4.5 million euros between fees and wages.

 

The 21-year-old was pictured on Sunday night boarding a plane taking him from London to Turin. After landing in Italy last night, the player’s long day at Continassa has now begun, and his first stop is at the Juventus medical facility. ............

 

Whatever the case may be, Veiga will be the Old Lady’s third signing of January after his compatriot Alberto Costa and Randal Kolo Muani. ............

OFFICIAL: Juventus Sign Renato Veiga

 

 

Juventus have officially announced the signing of Renato Veiga, a promising defender from Chelsea, as they bolster their squad for the remainder of the season. Following successful medical examinations at JMedical, Veiga is now set to wear the number 12 jersey, previously held by Alex Sandro.

 

The agreement between Juventus and Chelsea involves a dry loan arrangement valued at €3.8 million, with additional costs amounting to €200,000. Performance-related bonuses could increase the total fee to €5.5 million by June 30, 2026. This strategic move comes as Juventus aims to strengthen their defensive line, particularly after recent injuries to key players. ............

His versatility allows him to play both as a center-back and left-back, making him an ideal fit for Juventus’s current needs.

Veiga’s arrival is seen as a significant boost for Juventus, who have experienced injuries to defenders Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal. His ability to adapt to various defensive roles will provide much-needed depth as the team competes on multiple fronts. ............

Giuntoli wants an Englishman to replace the next midfielder Juventus sell

 

 

Juventus remains highly active in the current transfer window, with further squad changes expected before it closes. The Bianconeri have been among the busiest clubs in Italian football during this period, reflecting their determination to address shortcomings from the first half of the season. After failing to meet expectations earlier in the campaign, the club appears committed to reshaping the squad to improve performances and results. ............

 

In midfield, two notable names—Nicolo Fagioli and Douglas Luiz—have reportedly attracted interest from clubs across Europe. Juventus would not stand in the way of either player leaving if an attractive offer arrives. The club is already making contingency plans to replace them should a departure occur.

 

One name linked as a potential incoming signing is Chelsea’s Carney Chukwuemeka. The English midfielder, considered one of the brightest young talents in Europe, has struggled for playing time under Enzo Maresca this season. Juventus, while negotiating a deal for Renato Veiga, reportedly enquired about the possibility of signing Chukwuemeka.

 

Chukwuemeka is a dynamic and creative midfielder who has shown flashes of his potential despite limited opportunities at Chelsea. His ability to contribute both offensively and defensively makes him an exciting prospect. However, his age and relative inexperience mean he would need time to adapt to life in Turin and prove himself as a regular in the starting XI. ............
