Which Juventus youngster has impressed the most in the first two summer friendlies?
Juventus have played the first 180 minutes of a very busy summer friendly schedule. (If only the summer mercato was as busy as the team will be over the next couple of weeks, right? I’ll let you decide that for yourself.) And because of a handful of players having staggered returns from their respective post-World […]
Report: Como enter the race to sign Bologna’s Jhon Lucumí
As one of the clubs rumored to be interested in Juventus transfer target and Bologna center back Jhon Lucumí look elsewhere to bring in a new player at the back, another Serie A club with Champions League football on the schedule this coming fall appears to have entered the fray. One with deep pockets wanting […]
The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, Episode 348: Juventus’ quiet summer mercato heads into the final days of July
The quiet Juventus summer mercato of 2026 rolled on into the final weekend of July, with no new players arriving and a starting lineup in the second preseason friendly that was another reminder of just how little depth this club current has at hand. Yes, some of the best players on the team were not […]
Reports: Juventus have held talks with free agent John Stones (UPDATED)
Juventus are wading into the free agent waters once again for very obvious reasons. But this latest one is not all that convincing in terms of how affordable it may be. According to reports over the last 24 hours, Juventus are one of a handful of clubs who are talking with free-agent center back John […]
Luciano Spalletti says Juventus transfer target Emi Martinez ‘wants to change teams’
Juventus’ hunt for a new starting goalkeeper has been a saga that has now been drawn out for two months, with the start of the 2026-27 season being less than a month away and there being no actual resolution to things. Naturally, Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti was asked about the transfer market following his team’s […]

Report: Openda to Lyon in coming days, loan terms made clear
One of the biggest mercato questions this summer was how Juventus and new director Giovanni Carnevali was going to dispose of unwanted players from past regimes. This has been a problem for successive front offices, as exemplified by the fact that Arthur Melo is suiting up for the Bianconeri in their friendly against Standard Liege […]
If Juventus can’t sign Emi Martinez, who should they go for to be their new starting goalkeeper?
We are about to see Juventus played their second friendly of the summer in a few hours. However, it’s fairly safe to say that whichever goalkeeper ends up playing for Juve against Standard Liège in Belgium shouldn’t be the one who is starting for the Bianconeri come the 2026-27 season opener against Frosinone less than […]
Reports: Juve still in contact with Parma for Zion Suzuki; Benfica’s Anatoliy Trubin added to list of goalkeeper options
As he talked with the Italian press following Juventus’ first friendly of the summer this past Saturday, head coach Luciano Spalletti confirmed what we all pretty much knew by now: “It’s true that we’re looking for a goalkeeper to be even more competitive.” It was a question about the situation regarding the status of the […]
Reports: Juventus trying to finalize Joao Mario loan deal with Fiorentina
We know one of the former sporting chief’s misfits could be heading out on loan in the hopes of trying to get him to convince somebody else to buy him for good. But that’s already been the case for one of Damien Comolli’s “brilliant” (disrespectfully) signings from last summer — and now he’s back in […]
Reports: Juventus close to finalizing Loïs Openda loan move to Olympique Lyonnais
For much of the second half of the 2025-26 season, the only real talking point surrounding Juventus forward Loïs Openda was simply how little he was playing. He had fallen completely out of favor with new manager Luciano Spalletti, and it was clear that Openda had no place in Juve’s present and future plans. That […]
Juventus Women has a new coach, plenty of new faces and a whole lot of unknowns
The 2025-26 season for Juventus Women was not a particularly good one. They ended up in third place in Serie A Women, 16 points below Scudetto winners Roma. This was their worst finish since joining the league in 2017, having either won the title (2017-18 through 2021-22 and 2024-25) or finished in second place to […]
Report: Juventus and Dusan Vlahovic are talking again, but clear hurdles still remain
As we get ready for the final weekend of July, it looks as though Juventus aren’t yet totally ready to quit their old fling of the last 4 1/2 years. That is, it seems as though Juve have picked up the phone and called their ex — or in this case, their former No. 9. […]
Bologna CEO opens the door to Juventus transfer target Jhon Lucumí leaving this summer
Juventus want to sign Bologna center back Jhon Lucumí, the Colombian center back who is coming off a strong showing at the World Cup in North America. That interest is well-establish, but we know there is some competition both from Serie A and aboard — making things a little more complicated because, you know, money […]
Report: With World Cup over, Juventus hope Emi Martinez will force his hand to make a move happen
It has been six weeks since Juventus reportedly agreed to personal terms with Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez, the clear-cut No. 1 choice in goal for a new-look Bianconeri front office that very much wants to move on from Michele Di Gregorio. The problem with the move not happening in quick fashion has been two-fold: […]
The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, Episode 347: Zeki Çelik signs with Juventus out of nowhere
Juventus have not done much business so far this summer under their new CEO, but the two players that they’ve signed under Giovanni Carnevali’s watch have come about in the same kind of manner. There’s been little to no reporting for the days leading up to an official announcement, and then suddenly there’s a player […]
Jeff Ekhator to miss three weeks after early injury exit in Juventus’ first summer friendly
It took less than 30 minutes of Juventus’ first friendly of the summer for there to be injury worries about one of the players in the starting lineup against FC Basel. (On top of, you know, all the other injury worries we currently have about a couple of Juventus’ other players and their potentially troublesome […]
Which Juventus player had the best World Cup?
With Sunday’s final (and all of the Argentina shithousery) now in the past, we can officially close the door on the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Over 100 games played, over 300 goals scored and many hydration breaks in between, we now have a new world champion — and it’s the same nation that was crowned […]
Open 2026 World Cup Watch Thread: Spain vs. Argentina
It’s the final day of the 2026 FIFA World Cup! We’re down to the final 90 minutes (or more of regular/extra time), the last couple of hydration breaks (with or without commercials) and one way-too-long halftime show before the tournament is over with. Here is the schedule for Day 34, the final day, of the […]
Reports: Juventus in contact with Kessie, but competition may loom
One of the nastier surprises to pop up as Juventus began preseason training was the revelation that Khéphren Thuram was going to miss the entire preseason with runner’s knee. A constant presence in the lineup the last two years, his absence will shine a light on the team’s lack of depth in the midfield. Douglas […]
Juventus striker hunt still focused on Pellegrino, Kolo Muani as talks continue
There are a couple of areas on the Juventus roster that are in something of a state of upheaval as preseason dawns, and the biggest mess is up top. Juventus is all over the place at the striker position. Their three strikers last year are either out of contract (Dusan Vlahovic) or failed so spectacularly […]
Game Time Thread: Juventus vs. FC Basel
MATCH INFO When: Saturday, July 18, 2026. Where: St. Jakob-Park, Basel, Switzerland.

Spalletti pulls no punches at first preseason press conference: ‘We’re quite far away from the Scudetto right now’
When Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti stepped up to the microphone for his first press conference of the 206-27 season, he had been on the training fields of Continassa for the past five days with a team that looks a lot like the one that finished outside of the Champions League places a few months earlier. […]
OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL: Juventus swoop in, sign Zeki Çelik from under Roma’s nose
The Turkish contingent at Juventus has just added another name to its roster. And seemingly out of nowhere, too. Juventus announced on Thursday evening that they have signed free-agent defender Zeki Çelik, seemingly taking him right from under the nose of his now-former club Roma, who looked like they were going to sign him to […]
Juventus has a process problem
Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Juventus is a club in free fall. For years now, they’ve had the second highest wage bill in Serie A — and that’s still true even if you cut Dusan Vlahovic’s wages by 75%. The results over the last several years as a big spender in the league […]
