It’s looking like it will be another summer of change in Juventus’ front office. After a little more than 12 months at the club and the past seven months with a promotion to CEO, Juventus and CEO Damien Comolli look set to part ways, according to just about everybody across the Italian sports media landscape. […]

Report: Juventus make initial inquiries for Bologna center back Jhon Lucumí

A lot of attention during the early days of Juventus’ offseason have been dominated by the talk about the striker position. And rightfully so when you consider that the highest-paid player in the league, Dusan Vlahovic, is leaving the club after not being able to come to an agreement on a new contract and the […]

Juventus, Torino fans banned from away games to start 2026-27 season

The Italian Ministry of the Interior has ordered a travel ban for fans of both Juventus and Torino following the violent behavior that occurred on May 24, according to Tuttosport on Wednesday. For the first 10 matchdays of the upcoming season (until Nov. 3), the away fans sections of games that both teams will play […]

Reports: Juventus agree to personal terms with Emi Martinez on three-year deal

For the second time in as many months, Juventus and a goalkeeper from one of the top teams in the Premier League look set to agree to personal terms. But a lot like the first time around, that doesn’t mean things are suddenly close to seeing the Bianconeri secure their new starting goalkeeper well ahead […]

Report: Juventus rebuff Arsenal’s recent approach regarding Kenan Yildiz

It’s no secret that Juventus are in a vulnerable situation this summer financially. As much as they want to upgrade the squad following their sixth-place finish this past season, they won’t be able to do so without Champions League football and the financial benefits that come with it. That means selling names to try and […]

Set piece picks: A World Cup prediction challenge for the BWRAO community

A few weeks ago, I put together a world cup prediction app — Set Piece Picks — and I’m opening it up to the BWRAO community for the tournament. This post is mostly just a walkthrough of how to get started, but I’ll say upfront: I built it to be simple, low-commitment, and as private […]

Reports: Juventus open talks with Emi Martinez as goalkeeper search rolls on

Monday’s transfer rumor cycle involves Juventus being linked with a goalkeeper who is South American and has played in the Premier League for the last handful of years. No, it’s not Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker, who is feeling as pretty that-ship-has-sailed as it can get. Instead, it’s the starting goalkeeper for the team that finished […]

May’s Monthly Juventus Thoughts: Obsolete

The final month of the 2025-26 season started with great hope. After Como suffered some crucial negative results in May, we went into the month knowing that a few wins in May would secure a spot in the top four and qualification for next season’s UEFA Champions League League Stage. But, as has happened many […]

Reports: Juventus agree to personal terms with Alexander Sørloth

When it comes for Juventus’ hunt for a new No. 9, a whole lot of signs continue to point toward a very large Norwegian being just that for the Bianconeri. On Sunday, there was another step in the right direction. According to multiple reports out of Italy, Juventus and Atlético Madrid striker Alexander Sørloth have […]

The Tepid Take: Juventus’ Jonathan David experiment has been a bust

So, I have a godson who just turned 12 this year. Stay with me, it’s relevant. His father and I are both Canadian soccer fans and Azzurri supporters. (He’s a Milanista for the record, so I guess that makes us both gluttons for punishment.) One way we refer to the lengthy amount of time that […]

Reports: Juventus advancing in talks with Alexander Sørloth

As we head into the first weekend of June, one thing seems rather clear: Juventus want to add a big Norwegian striker to their ranks ahead of the 2026-27 season getting underway. OK, so it’s not that one you’re probably thinking of right off the bat. But it is one that is going to be […]

Same goals, different story: What the numbers actually say about Dusan Vlahovic

It started, as many good calcio arguments do, with numbers. Fefu kicked it off this time, laying out the comparison simply. Gonzalo Higuaín and Dusan Vlahovic, side by side, at Juventus. Same goals. Same Serie A goals. Nearly identical minutes. The assists gap barely registers. “Logic and numbers say that Vlahovic should be seen as […]

Juventus to open 2026-27 season on the road against newly-promoted Frosinone

The last time Juventus went to the Stadio Benito Stirpe in Frosinone, it was the official coming out party for Kenan Yildiz, with the then-teenager scoring his first goal for the club at the senior level two days before Christmas in 2023. It is at that same stadium where Yildiz and Juventus will open the […]

Juventus 2025-26 Season Ratings: The Manager(s)

For the second consecutive year, this final section of our season ratings has not one but two managers. That, obviously, is not a good thing. It is another one of the many damming statements about what has led to the current state of Juventus in 2026. The club started what they thought would be a […]

Reports: It’s over between Juventus and Dusan Vlahovic

Come the start of the 2026-27 season, Juventus will have a new player wearing the No. 9 shirt. That is because, as has been growing in likelihood over the last few weeks, things are over between Juventus and Dusan Vlahovic, their polarizing No. 9 who has been locked in a contract negotiations saga for much […]

Juventus 2025-26 Season Ratings: The Forwards

If you listened to this week’s episode of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, you’d know that I’ve got some strong feelings about this year’s group of forwards. Indeed, in our season-ending extravaganza, I named a forward for MVP, LVP, biggest surprise, and biggest disappointment. The dysfunction up front was a key point in Juventus’ problems […]

Juventus 2025-26 Season Ratings: The Midfielders

Coaches come and coaches go. Entire boards resign in disgrace, get fired and new names are brought on board. Millions of Euros change hands over the course of the summer transfer window. A multitude of spanking fresh adidas kits hit the clearance racks, season after season. And, after all of that, Juventus still do not […]
