OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL: Juventus sign Arek Milik outright from Marseille

The first buy of the summer already has a locker at the Allianz Stadium.

 

 

 

Arek Milik’s arrival at Juventus early into the 2022-23 season didn’t result in bombastic headlines or anything close to it. He was not a big-money arrival by any means, with a loan deal sort of a “prove it” kind of move considering that the club he had been at the previous 18 months, Marseille, were happy to let him leave.

 

Ten months later, Juve are happy to keep him around a little while longer.

 

Juventus announced Wednesday that they have made Milik’s loan move into a permanent one, agreeing to a deal with Marseille that could be worth up to €7 million total. The initial transfer fee will be €6.3 million with another €1.1 million in appearance-related bonuses. This is just ahead of the deadline that Juventus had to make the deal permanent at the end of the month, with the 29-year-old Milik signing a shiny new contract through 2026.

 

 

Milik scored just one goal in his final 17 appearances in all competitions of the season, a span of time that goes all the way back to late January.

In total, Milik scored seven goals in 27 Serie A appearances spanning nearly 1,600 minutes.

 

What Milik’s role come the 2023-24 season is still very much a question mark on this point considering who may or may not be leaving Juventus over the next six weeks. As a depth option, having Milik around makes a whole lot of sense. But if Milik is going to be starting more games than he doesn’t, then that’s where Juve could be in trouble — and would likely be a sign that the guy who he was originally brought in to back up is probably not around anymore.

 

That very much remains to be seen. For now, though, we know this: Milik is a Juventus player and 100% that. No more loan. It’s permanent now.

The Poland international spent the last season on loan in Turin, scoring nine goals in 41 appearances across all competitions.

 

“I consider it a privilege to continue playing for these colours, this shirt and you, fans,” Milik wrote on Instagram after Juventus’ official statement.

 

“I will do everything to continue deserving it. I am happy and charged for this new adventure with you, until the end.”

Milik suffered an injury in Poland’s match and will miss Euro 2024

 

 

Arkadiusz Milik has suffered an injury and is now set to miss Euro 2024 for Poland.

 

The Juventus striker, a key player for his country, was preparing to help Poland make an impact in Germany.

 

However, during their warm-up game against Ukraine, he took a heavy blow that resulted in an injury.

 

He could not continue and was helped off the pitch by his country’s medical personnel. ...........

 

Poland has now lost one of its key players, which weakens the team, though they still have other top players in that role, including Robert Lewandowski.

 

Milik also faces an uncertain future at Juventus. With a new manager set to take over at the club, he would not want to start the pre-season with an injury. ............

Juventus name their price for Milik amidst Everton & Newcastle interest

 

 

Juventus have named their price for Arkadiusz Milik who has three suitors in the Premier League, including Everton and Newcastle United.

 

Similar to his compatriot Wojciech Szczesny, the striker is on his way out of the club after being omitted from Thiago Motta’s plans. ...........

 

The Bianconeri are requesting a transfer fee of 6 or 7 million euros to part ways with the Tychy native.

 

As the source notes, this is almost the same figure that the club splashed to sign Milik on a permanent basis from Olympique Marseille last summer. ............

Genoa consider signing Juventus striker to replace Gudmundsson

 

 

Genoa could part ways with Albert Gudmundsson in the coming days, so they’re now pondering a move for Juventus striker Arkadiusz Milik.

 

The Bianconeri have placed a host of their stars on the transfer list, as they’ve been deemed surplus to requirements by the club’s new head coach Thiago Motta. ...........

 

The Pole striker is thus expected to leave before the end of the month, making room for the arrival of a new attacker who can serve as an understudy for Dusan Vlahovic. ............

 

 

The 30-year-old joined Juventus on loan from Olympique Marseille in the summer of 2022 before making his move permanent last summer.

 

The experienced Poland international also had previous stints at Ajax and Napoli.

AC Milan eyes a surprise move for experienced Juventus star

 

 

AC Milan has shown interest in Juventus striker Arkadiusz Milik as the Polish forward recovers from an injury.

 

Milik has been sidelined since suffering an injury while playing for Poland at Euro 2024. Despite being one of the first-team players Juventus has deemed surplus to requirements, the club is now reconsidering his status. This change comes after the sale of Moise Kean and their inability to secure a new striker in recent weeks.

 

However, this doesn’t mean Milik is off the market. Juventus is willing to sell him if the right offer comes along.

 

AC Milan is particularly interested, as they seek a backup striker for Álvaro Morata. ............

Juventus now have a date for the return of Arkadiusz Milik

 

 

Juventus is facing a critical shortage in its striker department as injury concerns mount. Arkadiusz Milik, who has been sidelined since the summer due to injury, was initially expected to make his comeback within two months of the season’s start. However, a setback in his recovery has extended his absence, with the latest reports suggesting he won’t be available until late December or even January.

 

This situation has become even more concerning with Dusan Vlahovic joining the injury list. ............

 

The Bianconeri had chosen to retain Milik while selling Moise Kean earlier in the season, a decision that now appears questionable given the current predicament. Without Milik and potentially Vlahovic, Juventus is staring at a significant problem in attack, particularly with the January transfer window still over a month away. ............

 

Juventus is reportedly unwilling to rush Milik’s recovery, prioritising his long-term fitness over a quick return. This measured approach, while prudent, leaves the team vulnerable in the immediate future. The potential unavailability of their primary attacking options could force Juventus to improvise tactically. Manager Thiago Motta might have to explore alternative solutions, such as deploying wingers or attacking midfielders in central roles to compensate for the lack of strikers. ............

Longtime injured Juventus star has already resumed athletic training

 

The lengthy injury ordeal of Arkadiusz Milik could be finally drawing to an end, as the Juventus striker has reportedly made his return to the training ground.

 

The Polish striker has been out of action since June when he sustained a knee injury that ruled him out of Euro 2024. The bomber had been initially expected to return in October, but the pain persisted, forcing him to go under the knife. ............

 

On the other hand, Milik’s condition still requires some time on the sidelines, but at least the Poland international is making significant steps on his path towards recovery.

 

The 30-year-old has already resumed his athletic training on the pitch.

 

These personalized exercises are essential for the player to regain fitness and avoid any relapses. Milik will be expected to rejoin his teammates in group training in the middle of the month, while his much-anticipated return to action should ensue in January. ............

Trusting Milik for the second half of the season is too much of a gamble

 

 

It is puzzling that Juventus believes Arkadiusz Milik’s return will address their pressing need for a new striker. This decision could set the club up for a significant disappointment.

 

Currently, Juventus relies exclusively on Dusan Vlahovic as their primary striker, following the decision to allow Moise Kean to leave. ............

 

However, there are few signs they plan to do so. Cristiano Giuntoli continues to insist the club will wait for Milik’s return, seemingly confident in his ability to make a difference. ............

 

When Juventus says they are waiting for Milik, one might assume the Polish forward is a prolific goal scorer. Unfortunately, this assumption does not align with reality.

 

Last season, Milik managed just four goals in 32 Serie A appearances for Juventus. Since his arrival in 2022, he has scored only 17 goals in over 70 matches—hardly the kind of statistics that inspire confidence.

 

Relying on Milik to rejuvenate Juventus’ attack is a high-risk gamble that could backfire, leaving Thiago Motta with limited and underwhelming options in the striker role. ............

Milik sends a New Year message to Juventus fans as they wait for his return

 

 

Arkadiusz Milik remains sidelined as Juventus enters 2025, with the striker yet to make an appearance this season due to his ongoing injury issues. Juventus is optimistic about his recovery, hoping he can play a significant role in the second half of the campaign. ............

 

His determination to return stronger was evident in a heartfelt message he shared with fans and the club ahead of the new year. Milik said: “As 2024 comes to a close, I want to thank everyone who has been with me and made this year special. Despite the ups and downs, the love and support from my loved ones, team and supporters has been truly special. I wish everyone a happy and prosperous new year.” ............

 

While Juventus remains hopeful about Milik’s recovery, the uncertainty surrounding his timeline for a return leaves the club in a precarious position. With Dusan Vlahovic leading the line but not delivering consistent goals, Juventus may need to explore alternative options in the January transfer window. ............

 

Milik’s potential impact, once fit, cannot be understated. However, injuries have proven unpredictable, and Juventus must prepare for all scenarios. ............

Blow for Juventus as Arkadiusz Milik suffers injury setback

 

 

Juventus striker Arkadiusz Milik has reportedly suffered a new injury blow which will rule out of action for an additional period of time. ............

 

In recent months, the former Ajax and Napoli striker has been tipped to return in January, with Juventus Football Director Cristiano Giuntoli labelling him as the club’s January signing, suggesting that further additions to the attacking won’t be required if the experienced striker manages to regain his fitness for the second half of the campaign. ............

 

Milik hurt himself again just when his return to action seemed imminent. As the source explains, the Poland international is now dealing with a calf injury which will keep him on the sidelines for additional time, without revealing an exact timetable.

 

So if the club’s hierarchy was having any doubts, this blow should confirm the dire need for reinforcement upfront, as it is becoming evident that relying on Milik amidst his seemingly never-ending ordeal is a doomed plan. ............
