Yildiz one step away from signing long-term Juventus contract extension

Reports in Italy claim that Juventus star Kenan Yildiz is all set to sign a new and improved long-term contract extension with the Old Lady, which will see him tied to the club until the summer of 2030. 

Yildiz’s new Juventus contract described as ‘imminent’

Yildiz is already under contract until the summer of 2029, but the Bianconeri are hoping to reward him with an increased salary that reflects his star status within the squad.

Currently, he earns a reported €1.7m per season in wages, which doesn’t even place him in the top 15 highest paid players in the squad.

Given that there has been plenty of interest in Yildiz since he burst onto the scene in 2023, Juventus are keen to hand him a new and improved contract in the hope that he stays on at the Allianz Stadium long into the future. 

There have been suggestions that Yildiz will become one of, if not the highest paid player in the squad, assuming that Dusan Vlahovis is moved on in the summer. Recent updates claim that Yildiz will be given an annual salary in the region of €6m.

Now, according to reports from Romeo Agresti and Ilbianconero.com, the relevant parties are now discussing the final details of Yildiz’s new contract, and the signing now appears to be ‘imminent’. 

Tuesday’s report claims that the deal could be wrapped up later on this week. 

Most expensive Serie A sales of 2026 January transfer window

Ademola Lookman was the most expensive Serie A sale of the 2026 January transfer window, but Napoli could match the same fee if Lorenzo Lucca’s loan move to Nottingham Forest is made permanent. Here is a reminder of the most expensive departures of the winter transfer window. 

The Serie A transfer window came to a close at 19.00 GMT on Monday, February 2. Lookman was the second most expensive deadline day transfer in the world with his €35m switch from Atalanta to Atletico Madrid (not including bonuses). 

Lazio were among the most active Serie A sides during the January transfer window, and raised just shy of €60m through their sales of Taty Castellanos to West Ham and Matteo Guendouzi to Fenerbahce.

Lorenzo Lucca is an interesting case, as he was technically bought outright by Napoli from Udinese, and then sent out on loan to Nottingham Forest with an option to buy. His two moves this month could turn out to be worth in excess of €60m.

Here are the most expensive permanent sales of the January transfer window, and a list of the most significant loans with option to buy.

Top 10 most expensive Serie A signings of January transfer window

Lorenzo Lucca, Giacomo Raspadori and Robinio Vaz were among the most expensive Serie A signings during the 2026 January transfer window, which saw the Italian top-flight sides spend a total of €243.49m over the last 31 days. 

The January transfer deadline struck at 19.00 GMT on Monday evening. Milan failed to get a deal over the line for Jean-Philippe Mateta, but there was still plenty of action on the final day of the window, including Juventus’s signing of Emil Holm from Bologna, Joao Mario moving in the opposite direction, and Roma’s acquisition of Bryan Zaragoza from Bayern Munich. 

The full month brought several new additions, including new Roma striker Donyell Malen, Napoli’s acquisition of Giovane and the return of Giacomo Raspadori from Atletico Madrid.

Technically, Lorenzo Lucca, who left Napoli to join Nottingham Forest in January, was the most expensive Serie A signing this month. That is because the Italy international was still on loan with an option to buy at Napoli, and the Partenopei had to exercise that option to buy clause from Udinese before sending him to the Premier League. 

Coming in at joint-second are Giacomo Raspadori, who joined Atalanta after six months in LaLiga with Atletico Madrid, and Robinio Vaz, who joined Roma in a permanent deal from Olympique de Marseille. 

Below are the top 10 most expensive permanent signings from the 2026 January transfer window in Serie A.

Vlahovic returns to Juventus to finish recovery as Chelsea, Newcastle and Milan eye free transfer

Dusan Vlahovic has reportedly returned to the Juventus training centre to complete his injury recovery, but his future in Turin remains highly uncertain with Milan, Chelsea and Newcastle interested in securing his signature as a free agent.

Juventus star Vlahovic has returned to Turin to finish his recovery, according to Gazzetta.

The Serbia international underwent surgery in December and spent the following weeks in Belgrade, working with a personal fitness coach.

The ex-Fiorentina star is not expected to return to action until March.

He is still not training on the pitch, but he’ll work at Continassa alongside Juventus fitness coaches, aiming to regain full fitness for the last two months of the campaign.

Vlahovic’s contract expires at the end of the season, and talks between the two parties have been stalling for months.

Vlahovic is reportedly open to staying at Juventus, which, however, doesn’t mean he’ll accept cutting his €12m-a-year salary.

According to Calciomercato.com, Newcastle and Chelsea have recently sounded out his availability, but Milan remain interested as well.

The Rossoneri, however, are unlikely to match Vlahovic’s current salary as the Rossoneri’s highest earners are Rafael Leao and Mike Maignan, who get €7m per season.

Previous reports claimed that Bayern Munich and Barcelona are also interested in Vlahovic’s free transfer in June.

Ex-Milan and Juventus defender admits he snubbed Liverpool move

Former Milan and Juventus defender Mattia De Sciglio said he snubbed a move to Liverpool to move to Turin in 2017, but he felt ‘used’ by Vincenzo Montella at San Siro.

Former Italy international De Sciglio spoke about his career in an interview with Corriere della Sera.

A product of the Milan academy, De Sciglio has also played for Juventus and Empoli in Serie A and Lyon in the French Ligue 1.

The 33-year-old has collected 208 appearances in Serie A and 28 in the Champions League.

“I could have played for Inter as a kid,” De Sciglio said via Calciomercato.com.

“They had called me for a trial, but I was dropped because I was too short. Milan arrived shortly afterwards, and I went through the youth sector until my Champions League debut at 18.”

De Sciglio was a Milan first-team player in one of the darkest moments in recent history, but feels the way he was treated at San Siro was unfair.

Mattia De Sciglio

“Some of the fans and the media identified me as the guilty one in that situation, and they were all waiting for a minimum error to criticise me,” he said.

“My social media accounts were filled with insults and nasty comments, but I had always behaved well, so I didn’t understand.”

During a Milan home game against Empoli in April 2017, he realised he had to leave the Rossoneri.

“We were down two goals at minute 70, and Montella decided to replace me. I was angry. It’s a substitution I’ve never understood. It seemed just a way to use me to hide a difficult moment for the whole team,” De Sciglio said.

“As I was leaving, a boos erupted all around me. That day, I realised I could no longer go on like that; my story with Milan was over.”

The following summer, De Sciglio joined Juventus from Milan.

“Liverpool also wanted me, but I picked Turin because Allegri was on the bench and the team was really strong,” he said.

“Finding myself in a dressing room of champions and playing European games as a protagonist was a nice revenge after a difficult period.”

De Sciglio is currently without a club as Juventus didn’t extend his contract when he returned from a loan spell at Empoli at the end of 2024-25.

 

From Mateta to Kolo Muani: Juventus’ failed attempts to sign a new striker in January

Juventus held talks with several strikers during the winter transfer window, but eventually failed to sign a new centre-forward for Luciano Spalletti. From Jean-Philippe Mateta to Randal Kolo Muani, here’s why the Bianconeri failed to sign a new No.9 last month.

Just a few days ago, following a 3-0 win over Napoli in Serie A, Spalletti openly admitted his Juventus side needed a new centre-forward with different skill sets from Jonathan David and Lois Openda.

David has become increasingly reliable for the Serie A giants, scoring four goals and providing two assists in the opening six Serie A games of 2026. Yet, Spalletti was looking for a new centre-forward who would hold the ball up front and create space for wingers and attacking midfielders.

Who did Juventus sign in the January transfer window?

The Juventus boss praised Napoli centre-forward Rasmus Hojlund after the Bianconeri’s win over the Partenopei at the end of January, suggesting his team needed a striker with similar characteristics.

Juventus tried to match their coach’s demands, but eventually ended up signing winger Jeremie Boga and right-back Emil Holm, not a new centre-forward.

Crystal Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta was Juventus’ first target in the January transfer window, but the Bianconeri failed to reach an agreement over the transfer package with the Premier League side.

Juventus tried to sign Mateta on loan with an option to buy that could become mandatory under certain conditions.

Palace, however, were looking for a permanent transfer, which they eventually secured with Milan. Yet the Rossoneri ultimately decided against signing the 28-year-old following unsuccessful medical tests, which highlighted a knee problem.

Fenerbahce’s Youssef En-Nesyri was Juventus’ second target last month, but while the Bianconeri had reached an agreement with the Turkish club, they failed to convince the Morocco international, who was not open to leaving his club on a temporary transfer.

Talks with Galatasaray for Mauro Icardi were never at an advanced stage, while Kolo Muani was the last striker in talks with the Bianconeri.

Juventus were interested in bringing him back to Turin six months after his return to PSG. Currently on loan at Tottenham, Spurs decided against cutting the striker’s loan spell short, ending Juventus’ hopes of signing a new centre-forward for the second part of the campaign.

David and Openda are currently the only central strikers available for the Old Lady, but the injured Dusan Vlahovic is expected to return to action in a month before leaving the Allianz Stadium at the end of his contract in June.

Ranking Serie A’s biggest spenders in 2026 winter transfer window

Lazio were the biggest spenders in Serie A during the winter transfer window, while Juventus were the only club not to spend a penny as they secured Jeremie Boga and Emil Holm on free loan deals.

The winter transfer window for Serie A clubs ended on Monday, February 2, so it’s time to review the activity of every team in Italy’s top flight, including how much they spent over the last month.

Lazio had been imposed a transfer embargo during the summer transfer window, so it is not entirely surprising to see the Biancocelesti spend more than any other club in Italy during the January window.

Furthermore, Maurizio Sarri saw two regular starters, Matteo Guendouzi and Valentin Castellanos, leave the Olimpico last month, so the Bianconcelesti had to sign replacements in central midfield and attack.

As reported by Transfermarkt, Milan spent €8m to sign promising Verona midfielder Alphadjo Cissè, 19, who was then sent to Serie B side Catanzaro on loan.

The Rossoneri also signed Niclas Fullkrug from West Ham, on loan with an option to buy.

Rating every Serie A club’s winter transfer window

Every winter, Italian clubs scramble to try to find the players who can make a mid-season difference. Giancarlo Rinaldi gives out the grades for their efforts this year.

Only a fool would try to assess the potential impact of acquisitions that have barely had a chance to play for their new employer,s but here we go again. It is worth remembering that it can sometimes be the players that you move on or keep who can be as important as the ones you bring in. With that in mind, here are the marks out of 10 for all 20 Serie A sides this winter window.

Atalanta 6/10 – In the end it probably boils down to whether you think Giacomo Raspadori plus a handsome profit is worth losing Ademola Lookman for. The ex-Napoli man looks sharp already while the departures of Daniel Maldini and Marco Brescianini may reduce the depth of the squad but should not cause major damage.

Bologna 5.5/10 – A bit of a bland market that looks unlikely to see an upturn in their midtable form. The effective swap of Emil Holm for Joao Mario with Juventus looks a balanced enough trade, while Simon Sohm will need to show an improvement on his Fiorentina form to convince that he was worth losing Giovanni Fabbian for.

Cagliari 6.5/10 – Sometimes it is not about who you buy or sell but who you keep and hanging on to a hot property like young Marco Palestra could be key to the Sardinians’ survival, which is looking more and more likely. The actual incomings and outgoings probably fall under the category of “time will tell” when it comes to their effectiveness.

Como 5/10 – On paper, at least, a little bit underwhelming for a side with such financial backing, but their eye for talent could well mean Swedish teenager Adrian Ladho is one to watch. Keeping hold of their best players – with Martin Baturina in particular attracting attention – was an achievement, but the club has sufficient wealth to say no to all but the biggest deals.

Cremonese 6/10 – None of their arrivals look like setting Serie A alight but they are all proven performers. Milan Djuric will give them a different option in attack while Youseff Maleh, Morten Thorsby and Sebastiano Luperto are well-known quantities who can surely ensure the work already done towards survival continues.

Fiorentina 5.5/10 – The best part of the Viola transfer market was probably getting rid of a number of the summer signings that did not work out including Simon Sohm, Edin Dzeko and Hans Nicolussi Caviglia. They have added width with Manor Solomon and Jack Harrison but there was no real big name to fire hopes of rocketing back up the table.

Genoa 7/10 – As a fully signed-up member of the Tommaso Baldanzi fan club, this mark is probably more in hope than expectation. Daniele De Rossi has already put the fight into the Grifone, but the talented Roma man could add that dash of quality which will make their survival fight a more stylish one than it has been so far.

Inter 5/10 – We have what we hold is an understandable approach from the Nerazzurri but not the kind of thing to get fans delighted. The purchase of Yanis Massolin is an exciting one but clearly one for the future as the young French midfielder will remain on loan at Modena, where he has shone in Serie B.

Juventus 5/10 – There was plenty of smoke but not much substance to the Bianconeri’s transfer window work with the arrivals of Emil Holm and Jeremie Boga hardly the stuff to get pulses racing. Maybe it could be argued that a recent upturn in form shows they did not need to force the issue but it will still disappoint the fans.

Lazio 5.5/10 – The Biancocelesti have been busy after having their transfer ban lifted with Kenneth Taylor already looking like a smart signing. The losses of Matteo Guendouzi and Taty Castellanos leave gaps to be filled but the biggest story was probably Alessio Romagnoli’s switch to Al-Sadd falling through due to a document mix-up, which is a bit embarrassing.

Lecce 5.5/10 – They will have to hope that they have found a couple of gems in a signing basket, including Omri Gandelman, Oumar Ngom and Sadik Fofana. The good news is that they have managed that in the past, so a repeat is not out of the question. Walid Cheddira is more of a known quantity and gives them options up front.

Milan 5/10 – Another one of Italy’s bigs to be linked with plenty of players but, in the end, they only managed a couple of arrivals. Niclas Fullkrug gives a focal point to their attack while teenager Alphadjo Cissè is definitely interesting. But the collapse of a deal for Jean-Philippe Mateta felt pretty much typical of their efforts.

Giovane officially joins Napoli from Hellas Verona

Napoli 5/10 – Add their name to the list of top teams who will have left their fans feeling cheated this January. Lorenzo Lucca goes to England for a nice bundle of cash – at least potentially – while the problematic Noa Lang finds a new home. Young Verona forward Giovane and Alisson Santos from Sporting CP will at least enjoy a move up the table thanks to their transfers.

Parma 6.5/10 – It will be a battle to stay afloat but they have added some quality to their fight with Hans Nicolussi Caviglia likely to enjoy a better time than he did in Florence. Gabriel Strefezza adds a dash of unpredictability and excitement while the loss of Hernani and Mathias Lovik will hardly be felt much at all.

Pisa 4.5/10 – They had to roll the dice and they definitely have but what number will come up remains to be seen. Having got rid of Alberto Gilardino as coach, they have at least got a goal already from new man Rafiu Durosinmi. Samuel Iling-Junior knows Serie A well enough but seems unlikely to produce enough to drag them to safety.

Roma 7.5/10 – Donyell Malen may be the signing who has made the most immediate impact this winter with some eye-catching moments already. Robinio Vaz is one of the biggest investments of the window and certainly does not seem to lack character. Tommaso Baldanzi leaves having found little space while Leon Bailey was dogged by injury in his short spell in the capital.

Sassuolo 5.5/10 – Whatever the question was, can the answer possibly have been M’Bala Nzola? The Angolan was far from thrilling at Pisa but maybe he can thrive in surroundings where the pressure of potential relegation is a little bit less intense. Their other new faces are intriguing but not necessarily of immediate use.

Torino 6/10 – A decent window that will surely help the Granata to enjoy another season of survival – if not a lot more. Kristjan Asllani and Cyril Ngonge made little impression between them so it will be up to Matteo Prati and Luca Marianucci to surpass them which, in truth, should really not be too hard.

Udinese 6/10 – The revolving door at the Stadio Friuli is rarely still and there were more heading out than in this winter. Branimir Mlacic and Juan Arizala definitely fall into the players with potential category and will look to make their mark while Iker Bravo and Sandi Lovric leave due to a lack of playing time. Saba Goglichidze ensures another window sees a move between the club and Watford.

Verona 5/10 – Their coach is gone but for a club with a need of a jolt, was this transfer session sufficient? It will be exciting to see another Scot give Serie A a go in the shape of Hibs’ record sale Kieron Bowie but he will surely have his work cut out to turn things around. Sandi Lovric should do a job while Pol Lirola at least knows Italy even if he has never exactly impressed.

Official: Samuel Iling-Junior to Pisa from Aston Villa, Louis Buffon joins Pontedera

Former Juventus and Bologna winger Samuel Iling-Junior has returned to Serie A on loan for Pisa from Aston Villa, interrupting his West Bromwich Albion experience, while Louis Buffon is loaned to Pontedera.

The 22-year-old continues his tour of Europe, struggling to settle at any club for very long.

The Chelsea youth academy product had joined Juventus for €1.88m in 2020, then was sold to Aston Villa in July 2024 for a fee of €14m as part of the Douglas Luiz deal.

However, he was immediately sent back to Serie A on loan for Bologna, which was interrupted in February 2025 and re-routed towards Middlesbrough.

It happened again this term, as Iling-Junior was loaned to West Bromwich Albion, but that has been cut short for another loan move.

This time he is returning to Serie A for rock bottom Pisa, who just sacked coach Alberto Gilardino last night and are currently without a tactician.

Official: Juventus sign Holm, send Joao Mario to Bologna

Juventus have confirmed the signing of Emil Holm on loan with an option to buy from Bologna, and Joao Mario’s temporary transfer to the Stadio Dall’Ara.

Serie A giants Juventus have confirmed a double deal with Bologna.

Rossoblu right-back Holm has moved to Turin on loan with an option to buy, while Joao Mario has travelled in the opposite direction on a temporary deal until the end of the season.

Juventus confirmed both deals with separate official statements on Monday.

Joao Mario joins Bologna: official Juventus statement

“Joao Mario will play the second half of the 2025/26 Serie A season away from the Juventus Men’s First Team,” the Bianconeri said.

“The Portuguese winger will stay in Italy, though, as he will be joining Bologna on a loan deal until 30 June, 2026.

“Having arrived at Juventus last summer, the 26-year-old has taken to the pitch in our jersey thirteen times, between Serie A and the Champions League. It was during his European debut with Juventus – in the match against Borussia Dortmund – that he registered his first assist.

“Good luck on this new adventure, Joao!”

The Portuguese right-back only played 373 minutes in the first part of the season with Juventus, providing one assist.

Juventus also confirmed Holm’s initial loan move, saying that they hold an option to buy for €15m payable over three financial years, along with up to €3m of bonuses over the duration of his contract.

Holm, 25, was a semi-regular starter at Bologna, where he scored one goal and provided five assists in 19 appearances across all competitions in 2025-26.

The Old Lady has also confirmed Daniele Rugani’s transfer to Fiorentina on loan with an option to buy.

 

Tonali agent: ‘No Arsenal talks, we’ll evaluate if Newcastle open to Juventus’

Sandro Tonali’s agent Beppe Riso denies reports he offered the Newcastle United player to Arsenal, but left the door open to Juventus. ‘We’ll evaluate it in March.’

There had been rumours that the Gunners were in talks for the midfielder in the January transfer window, but that Newcastle slammed the door shut immediately.

Claims Tonali pushing for Newcastle exit

Now The Athletic claim that it was Tonali’s agent who made the approach to Arsenal director Andrea Berta and proposed the potential move.

Agent Riso spoke to Sky Sport Italia this afternoon and was asked about the Arsenal interest.

“I read it, but Newcastle won’t let Sandro leave in January, and we never talked to Arsenal about this,” said Tonali’s representative.

It follows reports in recent months that the 25-year-old was looking at a potential return to Serie A for Juventus.

“We will evaluate in March whether Newcastle are open to anything, but right now he is playing in the Champions League, it is not the right moment to talk about it.”

This would open up a scenario where the Azzurri star is actively seeking a new club beyond the Magpies, who he joined from Milan for €60.8m plus add-ons in 2023.

His current contract with Newcastle United only runs to June 2028, and Milan are owed a 10 per cent cut of his future sale fee.

Tonali has 35 competitive appearances for the Premier League side so far this season, contributing five assists.

Official: Rugani joins Fiorentina from Juventus for total €2.5m agreement

Daniele Rugani has officially joined Fiorentina on loan from Juventus, with an option to buy, which will reportedly become an obligation if they stay in Serie A.

The 31-year-old defender completed the transfer this afternoon, with just hours to spare before the deadline.

It is believed that the cost of the six-month loan is €500,000 and the option to buy is worth a further €2m.

This will become an obligation if certain conditions are met, which Sky Sport Italia maintain are Fiorentina managing to avoid relegation into Serie B.

New Serie A experience for Rugani

Rugani was a product of the Empoli and Juventus youth academies, also going out on loan to Stade Rennes, Cagliari and Ajax.

The centre-back had managed eight appearances for Juventus this season between Serie A and the Champions League.

He amassed 177 Serie A games in his career, winning five Scudetto titles, four editions of the Coppa Italia and two of the Supercoppa Italiana.

There were also seven senior Italy caps.

Oboavwoduo: Juventus confirm 19-year-old striker move from Man City Academy

Justin Oboavwoduo has joined Juventus Next Gen from the Manchester City academy, signing a contract until June 2028.

English striker Oboavwoduo has joined Serie A giants Juventus from Manchester City.

The 19-year-old forward will begin his career in Turin in the NextGen squad, playing in Italy’s third division, Serie C.

Juventus confirmed Oboavwoduo’s transfer with an official statement on Monday.

“With impressive speed, skill and a keen eye for goal, he’s ready to take on the new challenge in Italy and continue his development,” the Bianconeri said.

Oboavwoduo had undergone medical tests in Turin on Monday.

During the first part of the campaign at Manchester City, he scored six goals and provided five assists in 18 appearances across all competitions, including five goals in six Premier League 2 games.

Double deal for Juventus NextGen

Born in Manchester on August 23, 2006, Oboavwoduo made his England U20 debut in September 2024.

Juventus also confirmed Adin Licina’s transfer from the Bayern Munich Academy.

The German was born in 2007 and has signed a contract until June 2029. Licina will also begin his Juventus career in the NextGen squad.

Spalletti makes Kolo Muani admission, asks journalist: ‘Can you play as centre-forward?’

Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti insists the Bianconeri won’t sign Mauro Icardi as Randal Kolo Muani is their ‘only’ target on deadline day.

Juventus continue to chase a centre forward, but are running out of time as the winter transfer window ends today at 20:00 CET (19:00 GMT).

The Bianconeri have held talks with several strikers in recent weeks, including Jean-Philippe Mateta, Youssen En-Nesyri, Mauro Icardi and PSG-owned Kolo Muani.

Spalletti: ‘I’ve talked about Kolo Muani’

The French forward is currently on loan at Tottenham, and Spurs seem reluctant to release him. When asked whether Juventus would try to sign Icardi today, Spalletti replied: “You talk about Icardi, I’ve talked about Kolo Muani. If you ask me, is [Icardi] strong? I answer yes. If you ask whether we’d sign him, I say no. It’s you talking about it [Icardi]. You haven’t talked to me about this.”

The interview was conducted by Sport Mediaset on Sunday, following Juventus’ 4-1 win against Parma.

“The target is either Kolo Muani or you,” Spalletti told the journalist.

“Can you play as a centre-forward?”

When the reporter admitted he couldn’t, Spalletti shrugged and left the interview, saying: “Then only Kolo Munai.”

Juventus have welcomed winger Jeremie Boga from OGC Nice and are expected to announce right-back Emil Holm from Bologna today.

 

Sky: Juventus resume Mateta talks, propose different terms than Milan

Sky Sport Italia reports that Juventus have resumed talks for Jean-Philippe Mateta, but the Bianconeri propose different terms than Milan.

Juventus have resumed talks with Crystal Palace to sign Mateta, according to Sky Sport Italia.

The French striker has undergone medical tests in London ahead of a potential permanent move to Milan, but the examinations have highlighted a knee issue that the Rossoneri doctor will evaluate in person in Paris today.

Juventus were already in talks with Mateta at the beginning of the January window, and according to Sky, the Bianconeri now made a new attempt to bring the Frenchman to Turin.

Juventus initially tried to sign Mateta on loan with an option to buy that could become mandatory if certain conditions were met.

Mateta waits for Milan’s decision

Milan, on the other hand, have shaken hands with Crystal Palace over a permanent transfer for circa €30m, but the Rossoneri have yet to make a final decision on whether to sign the 28-year-old. According to Sky, Juventus would only have a chance to get Mateta if Milan eventually decide against signing him.

Surely, both Serie A giants have little time to complete a deal as the January transfer window ends today at 20:00 CET (19:00 GMT).

How much will Juventus receive from Rugani’s move to Fiorentina?

Daniele Rugani is reportedly closing in on a deadline day move to Fiorentina, but how much will Juventus earn by letting go of the 31-year-old centre-back? 

Juventus set to sell Rugani to Fiorentina

According to reports from various outlets including Sky Sport Italia and Tuttosport, Fiorentina are closing in on the signing of 31-year-old Juventus centre-back Ruganin on loan with a potential obligation to buy in the event that the Viola avoid relegation to Serie B by the end of the 2025-26 season. 

According to the latest updates from Tuttosport, Juventus will receive a loan fee of €500,000 and in the event that the transfer is made permanent, they will be entitled to a further €2m.

Rugani is expected to put pen to paper on an initial two-and-a-half year contract with the option to extend for a further 12 months. He will earn roughly the same amount that he currently does in Turin. 

Rugani was not in the matchday squad for Juventus’s 4-1 victory away against Parma on Sunday night, and Monday’s reports claim that he has already bid farewell to his Bianconeri teammates ahead of his Fiorentina switch. 

It now remains to be seen whether a deal will be officially completed before the January transfer deadline, which hits at 19.00 GMT.

When is the 2026 January transfer deadline in Serie A?

January has brought plenty of transfer action in Serie A, but teams now have less than 12 hours remaining to complete any potential business.

When does the Serie A transfer window close? 

The 2026 winter transfer window will close at 19.00 GMT (20.00 CET) on Monday, February 2 in Serie A. 

After that point, teams will no longer be able to register any new signings, but will still be able to sanction player departures to leagues whose transfer windows remain open.

The Serie A window closes at the same time as most of Europe’s top five leagues. The windows in Serie A, the Premier League, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 all align. 

The LaLiga window is set to close a few hours later at 22.59 GMT (23.59 CET). This is also the same for the Eredivisie. 

The Saudi Pro League window will also close on Monday night. 

The window in Portugal will remain open until Tuesday and the window in Turkey and Greece will remain open until Friday, February 6.

Spalletti: ‘Juventus don’t want Icardi, Kalulu like Di Lorenzo’

Luciano Spalletti explains Pierre Kalulu’s positioning at Juventus, reveals a Kenan Yildiz fitness problem, and assures they ‘don’t want Mauro Icardi’ from Galatasaray.

The Bianconeri ran riot at the Stadio Tardini this evening for a 4-1 victory, with centre-back Gleison Bremer grabbing a rare brace, along with the acrobatic Weston McKennie volley and Jonathan David tap-in.

Parma only managed to find the back of the net thanks to a comical Andrea Cambiaso own goal on Alessandro Circati’s cross, while Lois Openda’s effort in stoppages was ruled offside.

Spalletti keeps Juventus on their toes

“It is better not to look at statistics, as often those come from static situations that do not influence the result, as football is more about sudden changes of pace, duels and second balls, that is where you get into the real game. Whoever is more wide awake there can win the match,” Spalletti told DAZN Italia.

In their post-match interview, Gleison Bremer and Weston McKennie called the coach ‘unique’ and said they’d never worked with anyone quite like him.

“If they said that, naturally it is pleasing. What is fundamental for me is having a rapport with a team that wants to enjoy its football, because that is how you unleash the quality we saw today. They must never be disconnected from the match, so always plugged in and ready for the next situation.

“Every game is a step for us to learn, and it is never definitive, it is a process that keeps going. In any case, I told them they shouldn’t compliment me, but instead praise their teammates. This group has the potential to be a great team, thanks also to that unity and enjoyment they have in training and in a match situation. They combine enthusiasm with determination, no matter what you ask of them.”

Pierre Kalulu pushes forward a lot in Spalletti’s Juventus down the right flank, not dissimilar to Giovanni Di Lorenzo at Napoli, and provided the assist for McKennie’s volley.

“This position is crucial to give alternatives and create some chaos in the marking of the opposition team. He has this ability to start runs at the right time. A team must have this ability to go from tight to stretched out in a moment, knowing when to play short and when to go long,” noted Spalletti.

“As you mentioned Di Lorenzo, I want to send him my best wishes to return to the field as soon as possible, because he deserves all the best. When I saw him hurt like that, it pained all of us. He is the master at that positioning between the lines, he is a complete player, and Kalulu is getting to that level too. He dictates the tempo for his teammates.”

Kenan Yildiz was rested midweek in the Champions League 0-0 draw away to AS Monaco and started this evening, but went off at half-time after complaining of muscular issues.

“Yildiz told us during the first half he felt a bit of pain, but he could make it to half-time,” explained Spalletti.

“We trusted him, but he now has a bit of pain even when walking, so we have to evaluate it, but it shouldn’t be too serious. I think it’ll be tough to get him ready for Thursday.”

The transfer deadline is tomorrow and Juve have already snapped up two players today, securing Jeremie Boga from OGC Nice on loan and Emil Holm from Bologna in an exchange with Joao Mario.

They are still looking for a centre-forward, but before kick-off director Giorgio Chiellini ruled out deals for Mauro Icardi, Jean-Philippe Mateta or Randal Kolo Muani.

“I get asked about Icardi and Osimhen in a press conference, so I can only speak highly of Icardi as a player when he was in my team,” explained Spalletti.

“There were other situations that he took into the locker room that were about his home life and didn’t belong in the locker room, so I had to talk to him. When you are in a dressing room, you cannot keep the door open to let in other matters.

“I had to make a decision then, and I decided to exclude him, so he had a reaction based on that. He is a good lad, a lovely person, and a fantastic striker. But we don’t want Icardi. Is that ok?

“If I speak highly of someone then it goes all over the headlines that I want to sign him, but it’s not true. We are looking for a player with specific characteristics, if we don’t find him, then we’ll stay as we are. After all, McKennie is as good a hitman as anyone, you saw him again tonight.”

McKennie and Bremer praise Spalletti: ‘Unique Juventus coach’

Gleison Bremer and Weston McKennie were full of praise for Luciano Spalletti after Juventus swept Parma aside 4-1. ‘He’s unique, I never in my career worked with a coach like this.’

The Bianconeri are keeping themselves in the thick of the race for a top four finish, further boosted by Como and Atalanta holding each other to a 0-0 draw earlier today.

They ran riot at the Stadio Tardini with a rare Bremer brace, acrobatic Weston McKennie finish, and Jonathan David tapping in at the back post.

Parma’s only goal was also scored by a Juve player, as Andrea Cambiaso accidentally put the Alessandro Circati cross into his own net.

“It’s a wonderful sensation to score goals, especially as I was out for basically a year and that was tough. I feel better, the leg is responding, and I am glad to help the team, what counts is that we won,” Bremer told DAZN Italia.

It’s a completely different team under Spalletti, as since his arrival they amassed 30 Serie A points, fewer only than Inter’s 37 during the same period.

“The coach is very strong, you can see that he totally changed the way we play. Even when we win, he tries to keep us on our toes. We are still missing something, he always says so, but we’re on the right track.

“This is certainly the best Juventus spirit I’ve experienced here. I only felt this kind of positivity at the start under Motta, but then I got injured.

“Spalletti arrived with his mentality and you can see the difference he makes,” concluded Bremer.

Juventus scored seven goals in their last two Serie A games, having also crushed Napoli 3-0 last week, but in the Champions League only managed a dull 0-0 away to AS Monaco midweek.

There were two different goal celebrations involving McKennie, one was shaking hands with all his teammates like an introduction, the other was shuffling along in a line.

“We work on the wall in training, so that’s what the celebration was, taking those steps,” McKennie told DAZN Italia.

“Spalletti is unique, as I have never in my career worked with a coach like this. He is so good, works with the team spirit, I’m really happy and I think everyone here is happy to be working with him.”

Player ratings: Parma 1-4 Juventus – A magical Bremer night

The Bianconeri made it back-to-back wins in Serie A with their 4-1 win over Parma: Bremer (x2), Weston McKennie and Jonathan David provided the goals. Lois Openda also had the ball in the back of the net towards the end, but saw his effort chalked off for offside.

Parma 1-4 Juventus: Player ratings!

Parma: Corvi 6; Delprato 5, Circati 5, Troilo 5, Valeri 5; Keita 5, Nicolussi Caviglia 6 (Sorensen 5.5), Bernabe 5 (Estevez 6); Oristanio 5 (Britschgi 5), Ondrejka 6 (Elphege 6); Pellegrino 5.

Best Parma player: Corvi 6 – It sums up Parma’s night that the goalkeeper was considered one of the stronger performers in a 4-1 loss. The 24-year-old, doing a good job at deputising for the injured Suzuki, made a big save on Conceicao early on and perhaps prevented Parma from slipping even further behind on a few occasions. 

Coach: Carlos Cuesta 5 – It was a night to forget for Parma, who were especially poor at the back. Juventus always seemed to create overloads which Parma struggled to cope with. 

Juventus: Di Gregorio 6.5; Kalulu 7, Bremer 8 (Gatti 6), Kelly 7, Cambiaso 5; Locatelli 6.5, Thuram 6; Conceicao 7 (Kostic 6), McKennie 7.5 (Cabal 6), Yildiz 6 (Miretti 6.5); David 7 (Openda 6).

Best Juventus player: Bremer 8 – A magical evening for the Brazilian centre-back, who came away with two goals to his name and was also afforded a rest after just 65 minutes. There were also excellent performances from the likes of Weston McKennie, Lloyd Kelly and Francisco Conceicao. 

Coach: Luciano Spalletti 8 – The Bianconeri head coach said that he wanted to see a reaction after the lacklustre 0-0 draw against AS Monaco in the Champions League earlier this week. This was a fantastic response. Juventus were always a threat on the attack, they were entertaining and had the ball in the back of the net on five occasions. It took a freak Cambiaso own-goal for them to concede, as well. 

Serie A | Parma 1-4 Juventus: Bremer impressive with rare double

Juventus celebrated a rare Gleison Bremer brace, along with Weston McKennie and Jonathan David efforts around a comical Andrea Cambiaso own goal to beat Parma 4-1.

The Bianconeri thumped Napoli 3-0 and booked their place in the Champions League play-offs after a midweek 0-0 draw away to Monaco, with Dusan Vlahovic, Arek Milik and Daniele Rugani still injured. The Ducali failed to score in their last three games, although they were 0-0 with Napoli and Genoa before a 4-0 hammering by Atalanta. Zion Suzuki, Abdoulaye Ndiaye, Matija Frigan, Lautaro Valenti and Pontus Almqvist missed out, with new signing Hans Nicolussi Caviglia starting on his debut.

See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog.

Francisco Conceicao nearly scored twice in the opening six minutes, as first he forced a desperate Edoardo Corvi save on a Pierre Kalulu assist from the right, then he smashed his finish onto the underside of the bar from seven yards on a Weston McKennie pull-back.

The deadlock was broken when Francisco Conceicao’s corner found Bremer for a bullet header into the near bottom corner from seven yards.

Conceicao kept pushing, as Enrico Delprato got back just in time to prevent him tapping in the Jonathan David pull-back, but McKennie was booked and a VAR silent check conducted for potential red over his high boot on Mariano Troilo’s ankle.

Emanuele Valeri surged forward and Michele Di Gregorio was at full stretch to fingertip the daisy-cutter round the far post.

Instead, Juventus doubled their lead when Kalulu stood up a cross from the right for McKennie’s acrobatic right-foot volley from eight yards.

Parma kept pushing, as Gaetano Oristanio’s scorcher from distance stung Di Gregorio’s gloves, but Kenan Yildiz was struggling with a muscular issue and made way for Fabio Miretti at half-time.

Juve literally gifted the hosts a way back into the game with a comical own goal from Andrea Cambiaso. He anticipated Sascha Britschgi on the Alessandro Circati cross from the left and bizarrely flicked it off the outside of the boot into his net from six yards.

The Ducali barely had time to celebrate when Juventus had restored their two-goal cushion in chaotic fashion. A free kick was taken short, McKennie’s attempt ricocheted off the bar, David’s looping header was probably going in anyway, but Bremer got the final touch just to be sure.

A fourth arrived a few minutes later, as Corvi was late getting down to a Conceicao angled drive and only fingertipped it into the path of David to tap in at the back stick. It’s the second game in a row where Parma conceded four goals.

Lois Openda and Mateo Pellegrino glancing headers whistled wide late on. Openda had the ball in the net with an angled drive, but only after wandering offside.

Pellegrino also forced another tricky save from Di Gregorio in stoppages after turning Federico Gatti.

Video: Acrobatic McKennie volley doubles Juventus advantage

Watch as Weston McKennie continues his impressive campaign with an acrobatic volley to double the Juventus lead away to Parma.

See how that match unfolds at the Stadio Tardini on the Liveblog.

The USMNT midfielder has been used in numerous different roles so far this season, and is currently flourishing in a more advanced midfield role supporting the striker.

He confirmed his eye for goal by meeting the Pierre Kalulu cross from the right with his right foot from eight yards to surprise Edoardo Corvi at the Stadio Tardini this evening.

This takes his goal tally for the season to six, along with four assists between Serie A, the Champions League and Cppa Italia.

Juve had already been 1-0 up thanks to the Gleison Bremer header on a Francisco Conceicao corner.

Chiellini: ‘Juventus rule out Icardi and Kolo Muani, why Boga and Holm needed’

Juventus director Giorgio Chiellini has ‘ruled out’ any pursuit of Galatasaray striker Mauro Icardi and seemingly abandoned Randal Kolo Muani too, as Jeremie Boga and Emil Holm arrive.

Their trip to Parma kicks off at the Stadio Tardini at 19.45 GMT (20.45 CET).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s Serie A games on the Liveblog.

The transfer deadline is on Monday evening, and Juve are still very active on the market, especially when it comes to the pursuit of attacking options.

Boga has now completed his loan move from OGC Nice, while Holm is undergoing a medical as part of an exchange with Joao Mario going to Bologna.

Chiellini comments on latest Juventus deals

“We were looking for someone who could give Yildiz an occasional rest and be of use over the next few games,” Chiellini told DAZN Italia.

“Boga knows Serie A well, he can make the difference both off the bench and when starting, but is coming off an injury and will take a while to get into his best shape.

“Holm is a reliable full-back, Serie A is difficult and different to Portuguese football, so Joao Mario had a few problems adapting and Bologna represent an opportunity for him. Holm brings more physicality and extra resources.”

There are reports they are also targeting Icardi of Galatasaray in case Tottenham won’t release Kolo Muani early from the Paris Saint-Germain loan agreement.

“Vlahovic will be back in a while, but unfortunately not soon enough, so we have been looking for a striker who can fit in with the requests of the coach and also with our financial situation,” explained Chiellini.

“Mauro Icardi emerged because of what the coach said in his press conference, as he was referring to him and Victor Osimhen as examples of great strikers, but there was nothing more than that. I can rule out any pursuit of Icardi.

“As for the other names that have been rumoured, we’ll not forget that Dusan will return in about a month and a half, so we’ll see what happens.”

Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta had also been linked, but is now on the verge of joining Milan.

“Mateta is a player we evaluated, but decided not to proceed for the costs and risks. Kolo Muani is a Tottenham player, that is the truth of the matter.”

The Bianconeri surged up the standings with last week’s 3-0 victory over Napoli and booked their spot in the Champions League play-offs following a 0-0 draw at AS Monaco.

Official: Juventus sign Boga from OGC Nice in first deal of January transfer window

Juventus have officially announced the signing of Jeremie Boga on loan from Ligue 1 side OGC Nice until the end of the 2025-26 season: The club’s first signing of the January transfer window. 

The Bianconeri have confirmed that Boga has joined on a loan deal, which doesn’t include a fee, but does include a future option to buy at a cost of €4.8m, payable over two financial years. 

He remains under contract with Nice until the end of the 2026-27 campaign.

This is a return to Serie A for Boga, who spent five years in the Italian top flight with Sassuolo and Atalanta. 

The Ivorian attacker becomes Juve’s first major signing of the January transfer window. The Old Lady have also sanctioned Douglas Luiz’s return to Aston Villa earlier this month. 

The January transfer window will close at 19.00 GMT on Monday, February 2.

What Juventus said about Boga signing

“Jeremie Boga has signed for Juventus and arrives on loan from OGC Nice until June 30, 2026,” a statement on the club website read. 

“Jeremie Boga was born on January 3, 1997, in Marseille, to an Ivorian family. He developed his footballing career at ASPTT Marseille before completing his youth career at Chelsea at the age of 12.

“His first professional steps came through various loan spells in France (Rennes), Spain (Granada), and England (Birmingham), which helped shape his quick, technical, and unpredictable attacking profile.

“It was in Italy, however, that Boga found consistency and recognition: after joining Sassuolo in 2018, he became one of the standout wingers in Serie A, distinguishing himself with his acceleration, dribbling, and ability to make an impact in one-on-one situations. After three and a half seasons in Emilia-Romagna, he moved to Atalanta in early 2022, where he competed in not only domestic but also European football.

In the summer of 2023, the 1997-born player returned to France, joining OGC Nice, where he racked up 73 appearances, scoring 11 goals and providing 9 assists in all competitions, establishing himself as a highly unpredictable attacking player, bringing creativity and a shooting threat to the team.

An Ivorian national, he led his national team in their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations win, held in his home country, leading Ivory Coast to victory in the tournament eight years after his teammates had lost.

“Boga now arrives in Turin to add flair and pace to the Bianconeri’s attack as a player who is very capable of suddenly lighting up matches.

“Welcome to Juventus, Jeremie!”

The Bianconeri have really hit form in 2026, thumping Napoli 3-0 and securing their place in the Champions League play-offs thanks to a midweek 0-0 draw at Monaco.

Luciano Spalletti rotated his squad in that trip, so here brings back Kenan Yildiz, Manuel Locatelli and Francisco Conceicao.

They are in support of David rather than Lois Openda upfront, as Dusan Vlahovic, Arek Milik and Daniele Rugani are still out of action.

Parma have not scored in their last three games, but those were 0-0 draws against Napoli and Genoa, before a 4-0 defeat to Atalanta.

Coach Carlos Cuesta spent time in the Juventus academy as a coach, and here has to do without injured Zion Suzuki, Abdoulaye Ndiaye, Matija Frigan, Lautaro Valenti and Pontus Almqvist.

Centre-forward Pellegrino returns to the starting XI, supported by Gaetano Oristanio and Jacob Ondrejka.

New signing Hans Nicolussi Caviglia is thrown straight in from the start, with Franco Carboni on the bench.

Sky: Juventus offer 18-month contract to Icardi as Tottenham won’t release Kolo Muani

Sky Sport Italia reports that Juventus have offered an 18-month contract to Galatasaray striker Mauro Icardi, as Tottenham are unwilling to release Randal Kolo Muani.

Former Inter captain Icardi is the latest Juventus target for the attack, and according to Sky Sport Italia, the Serie A giants have offered the Argentine forward an 18-month contract.

Icardi’s deal with Galatasaray expires at the end of the season, and Juventus boss Luciano Spalletti already coached him at Inter.

Transfer expert Alfredo Pedullà reported earlier today that Juventus had sounded out Icardi’s availability, and the Serie A giants are now moving forward in negotiations with Galatasaray and their striker.

With the winter transfer window shutting at 20:00 CET tomorrow, it remains to be seen whether Juventus will have enough time to finalise the deal and if Galatasaray can move quickly enough to sign a replacement.

Juventus have opened talks with Icardi after realising that Tottenham would not cut Kolo Muani’s loan spell short, while their primary target this month, Jean-Philippe Mateta, will have medical tests with Milan.

Juventus and Galatasaray will also meet on the pitch later this month as they’ll face off in the Champions League knockout play-off.

Juventus have completed two more deals today, securing agreements with winger Jeremie Boga from OGC Nice and Bologna right-back Emil Holm.

Everton reject Juventus approach for Beto, Zhegrova talks don’t develop

The Athletic reports that Everton rejected a Juventus approach for Beto last week and that talks between the two sides involving Edon Zhegrova ‘didn’t develop.’

Everton refused to discuss a potential Beto loan move to Juventus last week, according to The Athletic.

The Serie A giants are on the market for a new centre-forward, and Beto, a former Udinese striker, was only the last name sounded out by Juve in the January window after Jean-Philippe Mateta and Youssef En-Nesyri.

According to the report, Everon had concerns about finding an adequate replacement for Beto, so they rejected the Juventus approach.

The Athletic adds that the two parties even discussed Zhegrova’s possible move to the English club, but negotiations didn’t develop.

Juventus have recently reached agreements to sign OGC Nice winger Jeremie Boga and Bologna right-back Emil Holm, while Alfredo Pedullà claims that the latest target in attack for the Bianconeri is ex-Inter captain Mauro Icardi.

Report Icardi targeted by Juventus with call to Galatasaray

Juventus have approached Galatasaray to request Mauro Icardi for a reunion with Luciano Spalletti, according to Sportitalia transfer pundit Alfredo Pedullà.

The Bianconeri are looking for reinforcements in attack after the serious Dusan Vlahovic injury, as Jonathan David and Lois Openda have struggled to find the net.

Jeremie Boga arrived this morning to undergo a medical, but they are still hoping to pick up a centre-forward.

Icardi appreciated by Spalletti

It’s reported now by Sportitalia chief Pedullà that Juve approached Galatasaray to ask after Icardi.

It comes after the two teams were paired in the Champions League play-offs, so Spalletti praised the Argentine in his press conference yesterday, calling Icardi “one of the best finishers I ever worked with.”

They were together at Inter and that was also the last time the centre-forward was in Serie A, leaving for Paris Saint-Germain in a €50m transfer in the summer of 2020.

He turns 33 later this month and his contract with Galatasaray only runs to June 30, so he ought to be available for quite a low price.

The striker scored 10 goals with two assists in 29 competitive games this season, having recovered from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in November 2024.

Icardi was already linked with a Serie A switch in December for Como, Milan or Roma.

Juventus agreement to sign Holm from Bologna

Multiple sources claim that Juventus have reached an agreement to sign Emil Holm on loan with an option to buy from Bologna, with Joao Mario expected to move in the opposite direction.

Juventus are ready to welcome their second reinforcement in the winter transfer window, having reached an agreement with Bologna to sign right-back Holm.

Ilbianconero.com maintains that Holm will join Juventus regardless of Joao Mario’s transfer to the Stadio Dall’Ara.

The Sweden international is expected to undergo medical tests today or tomorrow, Monday, February 2, 2026.

Holm will become Juventus’ second winter reinforcement after Jeremie Boga, who landed in Turin on Sunday to undergo medical tests before completing an initial loan move from OGC Nice.

 

Manchester City Academy striker set for Juventus transfer

Juventus to make final attempt for Tottenham striker Kolo Muani

Reports in Italy claim that Juventus will make a final attempt today to sign Randal Kolo Muani, but the Bianconeri are running out of time to convince Tottenham.

Juventus will make a new attempt to sign Kolo Muani today, reports Gazzetta.

The French striker already played in Turin in the second half of 2024-25, scoring ten goals in 20 appearances across all competitions.

There were reports earlier this week that Spurs were ready to offload Kolo Muani this month, but this doesn’t seem to be the case, as Tuttosport and Gazzetta claim that Tottenham coach Thomas Frank is unwilling to let the striker go.

Juventus are running out of time to convince the North Londoners as the January transfer window ends tomorrow, February 2, 2026, at 20:00 CET (19:00 GMT).

In the meantime, Juventus have reached an agreement to sign Jeremie Boga on loan from OGC Nice. The ex-Sassuolo and Atalanta winger has already arrived in Turin to undergo medical tests.
