Le Pagelle: Juventus vs. Frosinone
This was the kind of game that we had been hoping to avoid as the new season came around. The kind of thing we’ve seen for years — Juventus letting an inferior team hang around until the end stages of a game they ought to have put away long ago — was once again playing […]
Juventus slog to three points in season opener
After a forgettable sixth-place finish to the 2025-26 season, the hope was that Juventus, flush with new arrivals in all phases of the field, would begin the ‘26-27 season with a statement against newly-promoted Frosinone. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: had it not been for some poor finishing, the Bianconeri likely would’ve […]
Juventus 1 – Frosinone 0: Initial reaction and random observations
Winning at Frosinone, on their return to Serie A, was never going to be as easy as it seemed. But then, after the opening 45 minutes or so of Sunday’s season opener, you were left with a lingering feeling of the not-so-distant past when it comes to Juventus facing provincial sides along the peninsula. It […]

Reports: Juventus in advanced talks to sign Wolfsburg goalkeeper Kamil Grabara on loan
As Juventus’ top two goalkeepers look to be on their way out, the second half of the new goalkeeper tandem that will man the goal alongside everybody’s favorite dad Carlo Pinsoglio is coming into focus. And it’s a name that has essentially come out of nowhere. According to multiple reports in Italy, Juventus are working […]
Round 1: Juventus vs. Frosinone match preview
Here we go again, my friends. A new Serie A season is upon us — and it’s hard to truly figure out my actual thoughts about this current state of Juventus and the excitement that comes along with that. Maybe it’s a little of the World Cup ending just barely a month ago. Maybe it’s […]
Ready to be hurt again: A Juventus season preview
Serie A kicks off for the first time in the 2026-27 season this weekend, and with a new season comes the usual mix of hope, dread, and everything in between. Every summer, fans of the team that won the Scudetto convince themselves this is just how things are now. They’re simply better than the rest. […]
More goalkeeper movement: Di Gregorio to Bournemouth, Perin likely heading to Palermo
So much for things being calm when it came to goalkeepers once Juventus signed Guglielmo Vicario on a season-long loan deal. Not even close. It looks like Juventus are set to be in the market for a second goalkeeper in the month of August, with both of their top two options at the position from […]
As Juventus enter the 2026-27 season, is the Old Lady waking up?
There is a difference between rebuilding a football team and rebuilding belief. The first can be measured in transfer fees, contracts, formations and pre-season results. The second is more elusive. It appears gradually — in the way a young player begins to demand the ball, in the way an experienced midfielder accepts responsibility, in the […]
Scouting Jhon Lucumí: High Floor, No Fluff
After a summer of on-and-off interest, Jhon Lucumi turned down more lucrative offers and got the move he reportedly wanted all along, joining Juventus after four seasons at Bologna. It’s the kind of signing that typically doesn’t generate much noise on its own: a 28-year-old defender with no Champions League pedigree to speak of, arriving […]
Multiple departures expected before transfer window closes
The season is about to kick off, but, to the annoyance of many, there is still a draft coming from the open transfer window. There will still be some comings and goings over the next two weeks or so—and if reports are to be believed there will be a lot of goings at Continassa. Juventus […]
This day in Juventus history: VAR makes its Serie A debut
August 19, 2017 was the day Serie A officially entered the VAR era — and fittingly, Juventus were the ones forced to inaugurate it. The setting was the 2017/18 season opener at the Allianz Stadium against Cagliari. Juve were already up 1–0 thanks to Mario Mandžukić when a seemingly routine, off-the-ball collision happened in the […]
What are realistic expectations for Guglielmo Vicario as Juventus’ new goalkeeper?
Juventus, at long last this summer (or at least that’s what it felt like), have signed a new goalkeeper. After weeks upon weeks upon weeks of rumors and chasing a pair of very well-known South Americans on high salaries, Juve has secured a goalkeeper from the Premier League once and for all. For the 2026-27 […]
OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL: Juventus sign Guglielmo Vicaro on loan
For the entire summer, Juventus’ search for a solution in goal has felt like a drawn-out saga. From exploring high-profile moves for Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martínez and Liverpool’s Alisson Becker to monitoring other domestic targets, the Bianconeri searched far and wide to shore up a goalkeeping department that struggled for consistent form last term On […]
Reports: Juventus, Tottenham Hotspur agree to loan deal for Guglielmo Vicario
Juventus’ summer-long saga to find a new goalkeeper has reached its conclusion. At the very least, it’s bit of a disappointing one considering the options that were previously on the table and looked like the “favorite” to join the club this summer, but it’s a conclusion nonetheless. After a Sunday full of drama surrounding a […]
The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, Episode 351: Juve’s goalkeeper search is coming to a conclusion
Over the course of the last two or three months, Juventus have had so many pivots to new goalkeeper targets that you’d be forgiven to have lost track of all the backup plans to the previously most recent backup plan that there were. From Plan A to Plan B. From Plan B to Plan C. […]
OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL: Jhon Lucumí gets his long-awaited move to Juventus
For the entire summer we’ve been sitting, waiting and hoping that Juventus pull the trigger on a move that will hopefully upgrade a defensive unit that has been desperately in need of some new blood. To begin the week in which the new season begins, that defensive reinforcement arrived. Juventus announced on Monday that they […]

Reports: Juventus looking to sign Tottenham’s Guglielmo Vicario on loan with option to buy
Juventus’ second attempt to sign Emi Martinez came and went on Sunday faster than a whole lot of people could have even imagined. One minute the Bianconeri are making a surprise offer for the 33-year-old Argentine when a few days earlier it looked like they had no chance of signing him, and only a few […]
Reports: Juventus abruptly end pursuit of Emi Martinez as talks for Guglielmo Vicario are now ‘heating up’
Saturday morning brought the possibility that Juventus could very well end up with the goalkeeper that they had pursued for the vast majority of the summer mercato. Before the day was done, that hope a deal could get done for Emi Martinez had essentially disappeared. According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein and Jacob Tanswell as […]
Reports: Juventus make new offer for Emi Martinez as Zion Suzuki secures Aston Villa move
After a couple of weeks of things looking like they were dead in the water when it comes to Juventus’ pursuit of Emi Martinez, things have changed back to all things are back on — and quickly, too. As Aston Villa have taken full advantage of things falling apart between Zion Suzuki and Paris Saint-Germain […]
Prose, not poetry: What a 30-year-old Trapattoni textbook still has to say about the modern game
I just finished “Coaching High Performance Soccer,” Giovanni Trapattoni’s coaching text from the late 1990s, and something about it kept nagging at me the whole way through: this book is nearly 30 years old, and I don’t think it’s dated the way you’d expect a tactical text from that era to be dated. Not because […]
Reports: Juventus contact Emi Martinez again after Aston Villa make move for Zion Suzuki
The goalkeeper situation at Juventus has no end in sight, and Saturday brought another twist in the saga that seems to see something completely unexpected happen every couple of days lately. You thought Zion Suzuki was going to Paris Saint-Germain? Ha, think again! All of this has kicked off another potential instance of the goalkeeper […]
As Juventus’ goalkeeper search remains unresolved, should they just give Mattia Perin a chance?
Eight days separate us from today and Juventus’ season opener. And as things stand now, we don’t know for sure who Juve’s starting goalkeeper is going to be. For a club that used to never have to worry about who is starting in goal for so long, that is very much not a situation we’re […]
Report: ‘Everything is on hold’ as Juventus shift focus to Vicario after Suzuki loan deal fades away
We are entering the final weekend of there being no calcio ahead of the 2026-27 season kicking off next week. And just nine days away from Juventus beginning the new campaign against Frosinone, their goalkeeper situation is very much just as unsettled as it was — and likely much more now! — than it was […]
