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 […]
Reports: Juventus close deal with Bologna for Jhon Lucumí
Wednesday brought us the news that Juventus were, at long last, close to finalizing a deal that would bring Colombian center back Jhon Lucumí to Turin. Twenty-four hours later, the deal that was almost there has now apparently crossed the finish line with everything being agreed upon. Juventus might not have a Colombian named Juan […]
Juventus’ rumored loan move for PSG-bound Zion Suzuki looks to be in jeopardy of not happening
And this is why Juventus should have never left their goalkeeper situation remain unsettled just a week before the new Serie A season is set to kick off, boys and girls. I say that because, as things stand now, Juventus’ rumored move for the Paris Saint-Germain-bound Zion Suzuki looks less and less likely to actually […]
Kerim Alajbegović on his big summer move: It was ‘impossible to say no’ to Juventus
Kerim Alajbegović has had quite an eventful time since he signed with Juventus during the first weekend of August. That is not due to anything bad, but mostly because he arrived in Turin for his medical, signed his contract and then immediately hoped on a plane with his new teammates for a summer tour through […]
Reports: Juventus finalizing deal for Bologna’s Jhon Lucumí
Another transfer chase that has lasted much of the summer looks like it’s about to hit its conclusion. OK, so nowhere nearly as close to the drama when it came to Juventus’ long-awaited signing of Randal Kolo Muani, but the Bianconeri will soon have their much-desired South American center back to pair with their other […]
Rumor roundup: David’s suitors multiply, Lucumi edges closer to Juventus move
It’s been a busy stretch on the rumor mill, and I think this might be the most interconnected batch of stories we’ve had all summer — a lot of these moves are contingent on other moves, which are contingent on others still. So let’s get into it, starting with the striker situation that’s somehow gotten […]
Spalletti says that Douglas Luiz ‘will likely stay’ at Juventus after preseason performances
While there has been a noticeable amount of changes on a game-to-game basis during the preseason, one thing Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti has done is roll out 2024 summer signing Douglas Luiz pretty much every chance there has been. The Brazilian midfielder, considered a bust by many, has started all six of Juventus’ preseason friendlies […]
This day in Juventus history: A Supercoppa won without a coach
On this day in 2012, Juventus won one of the strangest trophies in recent club history – and did it without the manager who’d just won them the Scudetto. The backdrop: Juve had beaten Napoli to the title in 2011-12, but Napoli got their revenge in the Coppa Italia final that May, winning 2-0 to […]

The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, Episode 350: Juve’s goalkeeper situation is untenable two weeks before the season begins
We are closing in on the start of the 2026-27 season. And with that comes the realization that Juventus needs a new starting goalkeeper more than ever before. Yes, we probably knew it back in the spring, but it’s even more than case now. Then you throw in the fact that Juve are less than […]
Should Juventus consider a loan move for Zion Suzuki if PSG ends up signing him?
At this point, it’s well-established that Juventus have a goalkeeper problem. The equally important problem is that we don’t exactly know how they’re going to actually try and fix it. By now, they’re down to, at best, Plan C after Plan A and Plan B didn’t materialize. The first, of course, was trying to lure […]
Report: Juventus could include Juan Cabal in potential Jhon Lucumí deal with Bologna
One of the last (and arguably few) good things Juan Cabal has done in a Juventus jersey was score what proved to the game-winning goal with a rather unexpected header against Bologna in mid-December. Eight months later, that same sort of axis may well help unlock one of Juve’s long-desired transfer moves this summer. According […]
Juventus need to fix their Di Gregorio problem ASAP
The 2026-27 Serie A season starts in two weeks. As things stand right now, one of Juventus’ biggest issues entering the summer mercato still has not been resolved — and who really knows that it actually will before things kick off against Frosinone on Aug. 23. That is because Michele Di Gregorio is still on […]

Report: Juventus agree to personal terms with Jhon Lucumí
The middle of August is fast approaching, and that means the final weeks of the summer mercato are nearly upon us. For Juventus, that means trying to add the final pieces to a roster that will hopefully do more than a sixth-place finish — and with a always-shrinking time frame to try and get the […]
This week in Juve history: Ronaldo breaks the record, Juve still go out
August 7, 2020 was one of those nights that’s hard to categorize — a personal triumph wrapped inside a team collapse, both true at the same time. Juventus needed a big result against Lyon just to survive. The first leg of this round of 16 tie felt like it happened in a different era at […]
Report: Manchester United open to negotiations over Zirkzee
The arrival of Randal Kolo Muani last week didn’t mean that Juventus’ search for strikers was over. Given the uncertain place of Jonathan David in the squad, Jeffe Ekhator’s status as a development project, and the uncertainty of everything around Arkadiuz Milik, Giovanni Carnevali is still on the lookout for someone to beef up the […]
Juventus transfer roundup: A goalkeeper path, a midfield target, and an exit strategy
Juventus’ summer window has entered a busier stretch, with movement reportedly brewing across multiple positions at once. The goalkeeper search continues to dominate headlines, but there’s also traffic in midfield — both incoming and outgoing — as the club looks to reshape the roster within its financial constraints. With that in mind, let’s check out […]
July’s Monthly Juventus Thoughts: No Money, Mo Problems?
We’re less than a month away from the start of the season and next season’s team is slowly but surely starting to take shape. After a slow start, Juventus has loaned out a few of its flops João Mário, though the fact that these were loans and not outright sales suggests that our undesirables are […]
Spalletti happy with friendly win over Chelsea, says Yildiz is ‘no longer in pain’ after knee issue
Juventus kicked off the first leg of their three-game summer tour of Hong Kong and Australia with a 1-0 victory over Premier League giants Chelsea on Wednesday. It was the strongest lineup that manager Luciano Spalletti has rolled out there so far this preseason, with no youth team players featuring for the first time since […]

Report: Add Orlando Gill, Paraguay’s World Cup standout, to the list of goalkeeper targets
Juventus have already pivoted once when it comes to their top goalkeeper target. It looks like they’re going to pivot again because they aren’t willing to meet Aston Villa’s asking price for Emi Martinez. So that means it’s either a surprise or a relatively uninspiring signing is going to be on its way in all […]
OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL: João Mário joins Fiorentina on loan with option to buy
When you’re on your second loan deal within a six-month span, you know things haven’t exactly gone well for the club that bought you all of a year ago. But that is the reality for João Mário, whose move to Juventus wasn’t all that popular to begin with and it certainly didn’t improve with how […]
The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, Episode 349: Juventus get two big deals done before heading to Hong Kong
Just a few hours before Juventus got on a plane and headed to Hong Kong for the first part of their preseason tour, they delivered quite the little treat for a fan base that has been hungry for some sort of transfer activity. Not one, but two deals! Juventus got their long-awaited reunion with Randal […]
