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 […]

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 […]
Report: Another improved Juventus bid for Randal Kolo Muani is on the way
Juventus CEO and General Manager Giovanni Carnevali may have said earlier this week that Paris Saint-Germain’s demands for Randal Kolo Muani were too high and their willingness to come down from them wasn’t looking all that encouraging, but it doesn’t mean he’s going to suddenly stop negotiations. At least not yet. According to Sky Italia’s […]

Khephren Thuram, like Kenan Yildiz, is still dealing with a lingering knee issue
It didn’t take long for us to have our first Juventus injury of the worry for preseason training. And just like the most notable one that is basically carrying over from the end of the 2025-26 season that had us all wondering how the heck the best player on the roster was going to look […]
Reports: Tarik Muharemović set for Leeds United move, Juve to receive 50% of €40 million fee
Less than a two weeks Juventus were reportedly trying to close a deal for former Next Gen product and current Sassuolo center back Tarik Muharemović. Then the Premier League came calling again. And who could blame Sassuolo for wanting in on that? On Tuesday, reports confirmed what we had pretty much seen coming all weekend […]

Juve CEO Giovanni Carnevali sounds like he’s losing patience with PSG’s Randal Kolo Muani negotiations
As much as Giovanni Carnevali’s time as Juventus CEO and General Manager has been short thus far, we can probably say that one thing is already true about the Bianconeri’s new sporting chief: He ain’t afraid to say what is on his mind and how things are going. That probably isn’t a surprise considering how […]
The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, Episode 346: More changes in Juventus’ front office as preseason training begins
A year ago, Juventus put their faith in Damien Comolli to try and turn things around in Turin. Now, 12 months later, all of the fingerprints that Comolli had appear to be gone — other than pretty much all of the very ineffective and overpriced signings that he brought in last summer, of course. Juventus […]
Juve’s centre back search is back where it started
For a while there, this looked like the rare transfer that actually made sense on every level. Juve sent Tarik Muharemovic to Sassuolo on an initial loan two years ago, back when Carnevali was still running things on the other side of that deal. Sassuolo took up their option to buy him last summer, and […]

Reports: Juventus aren’t giving up on Randal Kolo Muani, plan to improve bid to PSG
As we head into the second weekend of July, French striker Randal Kolo Muani is still very much at the forefront of Juventus’ summer transfer activity. And just because it sounds like Paris Saint-Germain are being just as difficult when it comes to their demands and (un)willingness to come down from that as they were […]
OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL: François Modesto out at Juventus after one season
As we waited months and months for Juventus’ then-brand new general manager Damien Comolli to hire a sporting director to work alongside him, the only real front office addition was that of François Modesto, who arrived as the club’s technical director. It was very much not the front-facing job that Comolli or even Giorgio Chiellini […]
