Here we are in the last two months of the 2025-26 season. The title race completely passed us by months ago, and unfortunately that has become standard procedure in the last few years. After the tremendous run of results in January had us thinking of a comfortable spot in the top four in Serie A, […]

It may take 90 minutes. It may take extra time. Hell, it may even go to penalties. No matter how long it actually takes Tuesday night, Italy’s chances of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup in North America comes down to one trip to Zenica and the Bilino Polje Stadium that seats no more than […]
We are in the middle of an international break, but we know once club football returns to our lives that it’s going to be a very stressful and important final stretch of the 2025-26 season for Luciano Spalletti and Juventus. That is because Juve’s Champions League hopes are … well, not great. At least that […]
A recent Slack exchange between yours truly and a couple of the other BWRAO regulars around here took a turn into a short discussion of Como’s ownership and their impressive form this season. They are a club that has gone from Serie B to competing for a spot in the Champions League within a couple […]
It’s been quite a few months that we’ve been hearing about the pie in the sky when it comes to Juventus’ summer transfer targets in the summer of 2026. It’s not a big-name striker. It’s not a big-name central defender to pair next to Gleison Bremer. It’s not a new starting goalkeeper, which has become […]
With just a few months remaining until the start of the summer 2026 transfer window, it’s undeniable that Juventus have their work cut out for them. They need to sign a center back (potentially two if Gleison Bremer’s fitness struggles continue), whilst left back and right winger are also two top priorities. And even if […]

We may be an international break, but the usual transfer rumor speculation that comes with no club football for two weeks has been replaced by a very obvious topic of discussion the past four days. That is because, in case you have completely forgotten or chosen to not go into a spiral of depression, Italy […]
At this point last year, Dusan Vlahovic looked to be heading out the doors of Continassa by the end of the summer transfer window. Contract talks had stalled, and just a few months earlier he had seen his good pal Federico Chiesa leave the club with a year left on his contract because the front […]
After hearing over the last couple of weeks that Juventus are looking to be players in trying to attract some of the bigger names on the free-agent market this coming summer, it probably comes as no surprise in that they have been linked to another one of those players on the second day of the […]
For the last two years, Juventus’ summer preseason tour hasn’t taken them all that far. It’s been a quick trip over to Germany and adidas headquarters, with all of the videos of players riding bikes to and from training around the company’s Herzogenaurach campus to follow. It doesn’t look as though that is in the […]
Well, that was extremely upsetting. Rather than go into the international break with a third consecutive victory, Juventus laid an absolute egg in the second half of Saturday night’s matchup with Sassuolo and subsequently paid for it with a 1-1 draw against a short-handed side that had mutliple starting players either ruled out completely or […]
The onus is always on the chasing team when involved in a late-season race for table positioning. They need to keep winning games in order to put pressure on the team they’re pursuing, and any slip-ups can see the gap between the two teams widen at inopportune times. Juventus are in that unenviable position right […]
With Juventus chasing after fourth place as the Serie A season reaches the home stretch, they couldn’t afford too many slip-ups against teams that they should be beating. Unfortunately for the Bianconeri, their footing got a little less sure in the second half of Saturday night’s match against Sassuolo. Juve dominated the first half and […]
Juventus captain Manuel Locatelli stepped up to the penalty spot in the final game of the 2024-25 season last May. With his team’s Champions League hopes were hanging in the balance, he took about as cold-blooded penalty as we’ve seen from a Juve player in a few years. The moment, the stakes, everything that came […]

It is the time in the schedule in which I can roll out the line I usually do this time of the year: Everybody, we are down to the amount of fixtures that we can count with just our two fingers and nothing more is needed. And just like last season, unfortunately, Juventus are in […]
If we have learned anything about this current rumor mill involving Juventus’ potential targets is that, like a lot of clubs, they are looking for some deals. They want to be a player for free agents this coming summer, and it’s something that only be confirmed more and more with each week we get closer […]
Juventus have tried for two transfer windows to get Randal Kolo Muani back in bianconero. Each attempt has been met with its respective challenges, be it financial or just simple logistics this past January, and that resulted in a player who the Juve front office clearly want to see back in Turin not actually coming […]
Deep in the heart of Turin’s Gran Madre district, there is a 1,000-square meter villa which boasts a 300-m² garden, a spa with a sauna, steam room, and indoor pool, six bedrooms and six bathrooms. Secluded from prying eyes, the four-story villa offers breathtaking views of the city and has served as the home of […]
Even during Juventus’ month-long swoon in February, the message from the club’s hierarchy remained steadfast: We want to keep Luciano Spalletti around, and there is not going to be an issue making that happen. It didn’t matter if it was coming out of Giorgio Chiellini’s mouth as he spoke to one of Italy’s major broadcasters […]
The summer signing of Jonathan David has not worked out as well as the Juventus new-look front office nor the player himself has hoped. A player who arrived in Turin with a very good résumé from his time in France has struggled to find those same heights over the course of his first season in […]
For the second straight weekend, Juventus collected all three points. This is a good thing. This is a necessary thing when it comes ot their hopes of actually finishing in the top four and qualifying for the Champions League at the end of the 2025-26 season. For a few hours, Juve were in the top […]
It was a must-win game on Saturday when Juventus visited Udinese. Well, they all feel like must wins in a race for the top four this late in the season, but this one more than most. With the two teams immediately ahead of them, Roma and Como, playing each other on Sunday, getting three points […]
