Squad5 Apr 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Edon Zhegrova

64 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Juventus lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market5 Apr 2027

Bremer wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad5 Apr 2027

Tempers go at Juventus

Bremer was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad5 Apr 2027

Jeff Ekhator is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Match3 Apr 2027

Juventus see off Cremonese

Three points for Juventus, 1‑0 the final word against Cremonese in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings5 Apr 2027

A masterclass from Pape Matar Sarr

Marked 8.24 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

The dugout5 Apr 2027

No hiding place for Manuel Locatelli

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Manuel Locatelli, and the manager let it.

Squad5 Apr 2027

Ismaël Konaté stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Ismaël Konaté and Juventus agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Loan watch5 Apr 2027

Iván López has seen enough of Petrolul

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Juventus, and 10 appearances in 30 say he has earned the hearing.

Match4 Nov 2026

Juventus march on in the cup

Carpi are out and Juventus go through, 1‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Match7 Nov 2026

Whatever happens, Juventus do not lose

11 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Player ratings9 Nov 2026

Ismaël Konaté, 20, steals the show — 8.00

Marked 8.00 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Market9 Nov 2026

Kenan Yıldız wants more than Juventus are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Player ratings9 Nov 2026

Nobody could get near Jérémie Boga

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Bremer in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Juventus this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad9 Nov 2026

International break empties Juventus

10 call-ups is a compliment to the squad and a headache for the man running it. He will get them back in a fortnight, tired, in various states of repair.

The terraces9 Nov 2026

Juventus supporters have found a favourite in Ismaël Konaté

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Ismaël Konaté has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

The manager makes an example of Teun Koopmeiners

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Door shut on Gianluca Scamacca

Juventus asked and Atalanta said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market17 Aug 2026

Union Berlin come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Juventus did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market17 Aug 2026

Ismaël Konaté says no to Altach

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Ismaël Konaté had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Juventus go back to the board over Assane Diao

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $18.0M — a club that wants Assane Diao enough to be asked twice.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Juventus

Francisco Conceição was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market17 Aug 2026

Huesca join the queue for Arkadiusz Milik

Add another name to the list: Huesca have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Arkadiusz Milik. The answer from Juventus has not changed — yet.

Looking ahead17 Aug 2026

The neighbours are next for Juventus

Nothing about the week ahead is ordinary. Inter on Saturday, a town that has already started talking about it, and a dressing room that does not need telling what it means.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A season on the outside for Kerim Alajbegović

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Juventus has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

Market17 Aug 2026

Arkadiusz Milik placed on the list

Juventus have made Arkadiusz Milik available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.
