Serie A | Como 5-0 Pisa: Fabregas statement to move three points clear of Juventus

22 March 2026 at 17:24

Como have strengthened their spot in the Champions League positions heading into the international break as Cesc Fabregas’s side moved three points clear of Juventus thanks to goals from Assane Diao, Anastasios Douvikas, Martin Baturina, Nico Paz and Maxi Perrone in a 5-0 win over Pisa in Serie A on Sunday afternoon.

Como came into today’s game off the back of a four-game winning streak in Serie A and a six-game unbeaten run across all competitions. Diao, Jesus Rodriguez and Douvikas returned to the attack alongside Nico Paz. Pisa also made a series of personnel changes despite picking up just their second win of the season last weekend. 

Click here to see how the action unfolded on the Football Italia Liveblog.

Both sides dangerously gifted each other possession in their own halves in the early stages, but it was Pisa who were made to pay for Stefano Moreo’s slip, as Assane Diao picked up the ball, raced in on goal, shifted it onto his left foot and slipped it past goalkeeper Nicolas for 1-0 after just seven minutes. 

The Senegal international was involved again as Douvikas made it two just before the half-hour mark.

He cut in off the right flank and onto his left foot, delivered the ball into the middle of the area where Douvikas applied an instinctive first-touch finish to double his side’s advantage. 

Como made it three within three minutes of the second half. Baturina, who had come on to replace the injured Jesus Rodriguez in the first half, with a smart, low finish from the edge of the penalty area into the bottom corner of the net. That was his sixth goal of the season, five of which have come in 2026. 

Pisa were not without their chances. They had two strikes ruled out in the second half, in fact. Substitute Filip Stojilkovic had an effort in the back of the net but was flagged for offside. He then dummied a cross while in an offside position a few minutes later, which led to Henrik Meister’s effort being ruled out as well. 

Paz then found the back of the net for the first time at the Stadio Sinigaglia since October as he swept home Alberto Moreno’s cross in from the left-hand side of the penalty area for 4-0.

Substitute Nicolas Kuhn made it all the way to the right byline on the stroke of 80 minutes, and was also able to find the cut-back for Perrone to tap home from point-blank range in the middle of the six-yard box.

OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra to launch in April with 6.8-inch 165Hz display, Dimensity 9500

22 March 2026 at 11:04
OnePlus-Ace-6T

On March 24, OnePlus will announce the OnePlus 15T in China. Next month, the brand may expand its Ace 6 series lineup by adding a new model. The existing models, such as the Ace 6 and Ace 6T, will soon be joined by a new model dubbed the OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra. Here’s a look at what to expect from the device.

OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra’s key details, launch timeline appear

According to tipster Smart Pikachu, the OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra will have a massive 6.8-inch display offering a 165Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it will feature the Dimensity 9500 chipset.

Tipster DCS claimed that the OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra has already passed a certification in China, but did not reveal details about its model number. We have spotted a new Oppo/OnePlus phone with model number PMK110 in the database of China’s SRRC. It remains to be seen whether it is the upcoming OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra or something else.

Oppo / OnePlus PKM110 SRRC certified

This phone is expected to rival the Redmi K90 Ultra, a Dimensity 9500-powered performance-focused flagship phone, which is also expected to debut in April in China. At present, there is no clarity on whether the Ace 6 Ultra will be released globally.

New OnePlus tablets in works

OnePlus is currently working on two new tablets, such as the OnePlus Pad 3 Pro and OnePlus Pad Mini. These devices have also received an important certification in China, claims the tipster.

While the OnePlus Pad Mini will be a compact tablet featuring an 8.8-inch display and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, the OnePlus Pad 3 Pro will be a larger model equipped with a 13.2-inch display and a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. These devices are said to be based on the forthcoming Oppo Pad Mini and Pad 5 Pro, respectively.

These devices may debut alongside the OnePlus 15T / Ace 6 Ultra.

OnePlus 15T teaser highlights 360° antenna setup and G2 e-sports chip

22 March 2026 at 10:19
OnePlus 15T

OnePlus is starting to build momentum around its next compact flagship, the OnePlus 15T, and the latest teasers are putting a clear spotlight on connectivity. Instead of just improving raw performance, the company seems to have focused on improving the connectivity as well. Stable internet connectivity is important for competitive gaming.

OnePlus 15T

In recent teasers on Weibo, OnePlus has highlighted what it calls a 360° surround antenna system, paired with an “anti-blockage” design. The idea is fairly straightforward: better signal strength no matter how you’re holding the phone. It’s the kind of thing that doesn’t sound flashy, but can make a noticeable difference in real-world use, especially in places with weaker coverage.

There’s also a dedicated G2 esports network chip, which OnePlus is carrying over from its main flagship lineup. This chip is meant to improve Wi-Fi stability, reduce latency, and prioritize gaming traffic when needed. This is paired with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 main processor and a touch-response chip, forming what the company calls an “Esports Tri-Core” setup. It’s a bit of branding, sure, but the goal seems to be smoother gameplay with fewer interruptions.

Importantly, this isn’t just about gaming. OnePlus is pitching these upgrades as something that benefits general use too, with faster downloads, more stable browsing, and fewer random drops in signal. Similar approaches have shown up in a few gaming-focused devices before, but it’s interesting to see this level of focus in a compact flagship.

The OnePlus 15T has already been teased with a 6.32-inch 1.5K AMOLED display and a dual 50MP camera setup, along with a familiar premium design. It’s set to launch in China on March 24. Global availability, as usual with these models, is still a bit unclear.

With just days to go, OnePlus seems to be positioning the 15T as a compact phone that doesn’t compromise where it matters.

Is the OnePlus 15s BIS certified in India? Expected to offer one major change compared to OnePlus 15T

22 March 2026 at 10:06
OnePlus 15T design

OnePlus is gearing up to launch the Nord 6 series in India. Reports have revealed that the Nord 6 and Nord CE 6 have the model numbers CPH2793 and CPH2805, respectively. These devices have already received India’s BIS certification, which is one of the prerequisites to launch a phone in the Indian market. In a new development, a new OnePlus phone has been approved by India’s BIS. While there is no concrete evidence to support the claim, this could be the forthcoming OnePlus 15s.

Alleged OnePlus 15s BIS certified

OnePlus CPH2943 has just cleared BIS certification.

This is not a Nord 6 series device. Could this be the OnePlus 15T/15s? pic.twitter.com/sQKU2bDt2w

— Sudhanshu Ambhore (@Sudhanshu1414) March 20, 2026

As can be seen above, a forthcoming OnePlus phone with model number CPH2943 has surfaced in the database of India’s BIS certification. It remains to be seen whether it could be the OnePlus 15s or something else.

OnePlus 15s specifications (expected)

The OnePlus 15s is expected to pack the same specifications as the OnePlus 15T, which is scheduled to launch on March 24 in China. However, there could be one key difference between the two models.

To recall, the OnePlus 13s, launched last year, is the company’s first phone with an autofocus-enabled 32-megapixel front camera. Therefore, it is likely that the said feature could be retained on the OnePlus 15s.

A new report has revealed that the OnePlus 15T, on the other hand, will have a 16-megapixel front camera like its previous generation. The rest of the specifications could be identical on the OnePlus 15s and 15T.

OnePlus 15s / 15T specifications

Being a slightly tweaked version of the 15T, the OnePlus 15s is expected to arrive with a 6.32-inch OLED flat 1.5K 165Hz screen, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5hh chip, up to 16GB of LPDDR5x Ultra RAM, up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage, and a 7,500mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging.

The 15T has a 16-megapixel front camera and an OIS-enabled 50-megapixel + 50-megapixel (3.5x periscope telephoto) dual camera setup. It has other specifications, such as an X-axis linear motor, dual speakers, a Plus key, and an IP68/69/69K-rated body.

22 March 2026 at 09:02
OnePlus 15T

OnePlus is gearing up to launch the OnePlus 15T on March 24 in China, but ahead of its debut, most details have already surfaced online. A premature listing on China Telecom has revealed the phone’s core specifications, design elements, and hardware configuration, offering a clear picture of what to expect from this compact flagship.

OnePlus 15T specifications revealed

OnePlus 15T China Telecom listing

The listing shows that the OnePlus 15T will feature a 6.32-inch LTPS OLED flat display with a resolution of 2640 x 1216 pixels. The company has already confirmed support for a 165Hz refresh rate, along with an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor. The device runs on Android 16 and is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, which is mentioned as the SM8850 in the China Telecom listing.

It will be available in multiple LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.1 storage options, including 12GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB, 16GB+256GB, 16GB+512GB, and 16GB+1TB.

Smartphones might bring back waterdrop notches and microSD cards in 2026

21 March 2026 at 18:27
Samsung-Galaxy-A07-5G-Launch-specs-price

A new leak suggests that some smartphone makers might be circling back to features that, until recently, felt like they were on their way out.

According to a post by Digital Chat Station on Weibo, several older hardware choices could be making a return in upcoming devices. And the list is oddly specific.

DCS says future phones could feature a top configuration of just 8GB of RAM paired with 512GB of storage, along with 90Hz waterdrop-notch displays, support for SIM plus microSD cards, and even plastic frames paired with short-focus (optical) fingerprint sensors.

Rising global smartphone prices could be behind the shift

As you might expect, none of this sounds particularly exciting for 2026. In fact, much of the industry has been moving in the opposite direction. Toward higher refresh rates, punch-hole or under-display cameras, metal or glass builds, and the gradual disappearance of expandable storage.

The return of these more conventional features could be tied to rising component costs, particularly for memory and storage. Several Chinese brands like OnePlus, Oppo, Vivo, and iQOO have already nudged prices upward for their budget devices. Meanwhile, Samsung has also increased smartphone prices in markets like India.

And while prices are rising, consumers’ willingness — or ability — to spend more on phones might not be increasing at the same pace. As a result, manufacturers could be looking for ways to keep retail prices in check, even if that means leaning on older hardware and design choices.

What makes this leak interesting isn’t any single feature. It’s the combination. A return to waterdrop notches, expandable storage, and plastic builds suggests manufacturers may be re-evaluating what they can realistically deliver as smartphone prices continue to climb globally.

These decisions help reduce costs, but they also bring back some practical perks, like storage flexibility, that many users still appreciate.

OnePlus Watch 4 specs leak paints a somewhat disappointing picture

21 March 2026 at 18:20

The OnePlus Watch 4 has started appearing in leaks and certification listings, which usually means a launch isn’t too far off. But going by what’s surfaced so far, this might be one of those updates that focuses more on refinement than anything dramatic.

The latest bit of info comes from tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore, who spotted the watch on the EMVCo database. That certification mainly relates to contactless payments, and devices tend to show up there fairly close to launch. What’s a little interesting is that there are two model numbers listed: XL905 and XL907. It’s not clear what the difference is yet, but it could point to multiple variants, maybe different sizes or a slightly tweaked version.

As for the hardware, things look… familiar. The Watch 4 is expected to stick with the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 from last year’s Watch 3. The chip itself dates back to 2022 and has since been succeeded by the newer W5 Gen 2 series, announced in August 2025.

The display also doesn’t seem to change—a 1.5-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with a 466 × 466 resolution, which is basically what we’ve already seen before. There is mention of a slightly larger 47mm case, though, so the overall feel on the wrist might be a bit different.

Battery capacity is said to be 646mAh, which again sounds very similar to the current model. So expectations here should probably be in line with what OnePlus already delivers. One area that does stand out a bit more is durability. The watch is tipped to come with an IP69 rating, which, if accurate, would make it more resistant to harsher conditions than before.

There’s also some mixed info around the software. One leak mentions Wear OS 5, while the certification listing points to Wear OS 6, which seems more likely at this point.

Put together, the Watch 4 looks like a careful update. Not underwhelming, but not trying too hard to surprise either.

China vs US in Robotics: Nvidia CEO Reveals the Real Power Shift

21 March 2026 at 16:13
china robotics

Highlights:

  • Jensen Huang calls China “formidable” in robotics due to hardware dominance
  • Nvidia is betting on Physical AI as the next computing revolution
  • Future robotics ecosystem = China’s supply chain + US AI leadership

Image for representation only

China’s Robotics Advantage

Jensen Huang highlighted that China currently holds a significant edge in robotics, primarily due to its dominance in core components like microelectronics, motors, rare earth materials, and magnets. These elements are foundational to building robots at scale, and China’s ecosystem is described as the “world’s best.” This deep supply chain strength means even the US robotics industry remains heavily dependent on China for hardware, reinforcing its global influence in the sector.

The Rise of Physical AI

Nvidia is shifting focus beyond traditional GPUs toward what Huang calls Physical AI, the integration of AI into real-world machines like robots and autonomous systems. This marks a major evolution from generative AI to embodied intelligence. Nvidia’s strategy includes building a full-stack ecosystem, from AI models to robotics infrastructure, positioning itself not just as a chipmaker but as the backbone of future intelligent machines.

Nvidia’s Full-Stack Robotics Vision

At its GTC event, Nvidia introduced the Physical AI Data Factory to automate data generation, simulation, and model evaluation. Huang also described a “three-computer” model powering robotics: training systems for AI models, simulation platforms like Omniverse, and edge computers embedded in robots. This approach shows robotics is no longer just hardware; it requires a tightly integrated AI ecosystem.

Market Shifts and Global Competition

While China’s robotics companies, such as Unitree, are scaling rapidly with strong financial growth, Nvidia is navigating a complex market. Its China market share has dropped sharply due to restrictions, but the company is preparing a return with approved H200 AI chips. Despite revenue declines, demand from Chinese firms remains strong.

What Comes Next

Huang believes robotics adoption is just 3–5 years away from widespread use, driven by exponential growth in AI compute and agentic AI systems. The long-term vision points to a massive economic opportunity, where robots augment human labor across industries. The global balance is becoming clear: China dominates the physical layer, while Nvidia aims to control the intelligence powering it.

Juventus wasted third consecutive penalty after Spalletti confirmation of debate

22 March 2026 at 02:54

Luciano Spalletti confirmed Kenan Yildiz wanted to take the penalty against Sassuolo, but Manuel Locatelli was given the ball, leading to the third consecutive failed Juventus spot-kick.

The Bianconeri were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Sassuolo this evening, which has significantly damaged their chances of qualifying for the Champions League with a top four finish.

Kenan Yildiz had scored the opener, cancelled out by Andrea Pinamonti, and Dusan Vlahovic’s header struck Jay Idzes on the arm for a late penalty.

What happened before Juventus penalty

What the cameras perhaps did not capture was the conversation going on when the VAR call was being made, as Yildiz was standing near the spot, hoping to be given the ball.

Instead, Spalletti called Locatelli over to the touchline, and after a brief conversation, the midfielder went over to inform Yildiz of the decision.

It didn’t pay off, as Locatelli’s weak and central penalty was smothered by Arijanet Muric.

“Locatelli came over and told me he felt ready to take it,” confirmed Spalletti to DAZN Italia.

“There were two or three players who wanted to step up, but Locatelli is the designated taker. It’s fine, anyone can miss a penalty, we are just disappointed about not bringing home the victory.”

This means Juventus have now failed to convert three consecutive Serie A penalty kicks with three different players.

Jonathan David got it wrong in another stalemate with Lecce, while Yildiz was denied in a 5-0 victory over Cremonese.

In total, the Bianconeri have received seven Serie A penalties this term, converting four of them.

Locatelli remains their best taker, converting two out of his three, while Kenan Yildiz has a 50 per cent rate.

Vlahovic scored his only attempt too, but made his comeback today for the first time since injury at the end of November.

Fabio Grosso admits he ‘took a gamble and Sassuolo showed courage’ by fighting to a 1-1 draw away to Juventus, despite a week dominated by a whooping cough outbreak.

The Neroverdi certainly didn’t have the ideal preparation for this trip to the Allianz Juventus Stadium, as along with injured Fali Candé, Alieu Fadera, Daniel Boloca and Edoardo Pieragnolo, they were affected by a whooping cough outbreak.

Only one case has been confirmed so far, but another four players were forced to isolate after showing symptoms of the highly-infectious virus that affects the respiratory system, with Nemanja Matic, Kristian Thorstvedt, Woyo Coulibaly and Stefano Turati left behind.

Grosso proud of Sassuolo courage

“It was a fantastic performance, incredible really, going beyond all the rosiest possible expectations,” smiled Grosso on Sky Sport Italia.

“This has been a very difficult week, but we dug deep for courage and were rewarded for that. The lads played at such a high level, and so often in these situations you need a bit of luck too, but with our system, our attitude and determination, we earned this point.”

Despite the difficulties, and coming off two consecutive Serie A defeats, Sassuolo fought back from the Kenan Yildiz opener to equalise with Andrea Pinamonti.

Manuel Locatelli had the chance to win it for Juventus late on, but Arijanet Muric sealed his Man of the Match status by smothering the penalty.

“We had got so close to the end when the penalty was awarded, there were so many difficulties, but I asked the players to hang in there no matter what happened,” continued Grosso.

“At a certain point, they were perhaps the only ones in the world who at the 93rd minute away to Juventus went to take two consecutive corners and just kept pushing for another goal, without trying to let the clock run out.

“That is the great thing about this Sassuolo side, this courage and naïve confidence that allowed us to get this result.”

Sassuolo had never drawn away to Juventus in Serie A before, losing nine of their trips here and winning only once in 2021.

“I took a big gamble tonight, but I trusted the young players who deserved this opportunity. By asking the lads for courage, I had to show some of my own too, otherwise I wouldn’t have been credible. I picked a lot of attacking players, we took risks, but I liked the attitude and that we created quite a few chances against a strong opponent.”

Grosso famously scored the penalty that gave Italy the 2006 World Cup, so with the play-offs on the horizon and Gianluca Scamacca of Atalanta injured, would he suggest Gennaro Gattuso call up Pinamonti instead?

“Andrea is a great striker, but I am biased. He can still improve and be more decisive, but he is a complete striker who has everything required. We are all cheering on the Nazionale and trust the decisions that Rino will make, so we must try to support and encourage them, not try to always find something to complain about. We need positive energy.”

Spalletti: ‘Juventus deserved to win, but often made wrong choices’

22 March 2026 at 02:22

Luciano Spalletti was torn between praise and criticism of his Juventus players after a 1-1 draw with Sassuolo. ‘We created so many chances, but often made the wrong decisions.’

The Bianconeri had been building momentum to recapture a Champions League spot, and were hosting a Sassuolo side decimated by injuries and a whooping cough outbreak in the squad.

They had taken the lead through Kenan Yildiz, but when Andrea Pinamonti equalised, Manuel Locatelli saw the late opportunity to win it go to waste with Arijanet Muric’s penalty save.

This is the third consecutive penalty that Juventus have failed to convert in Serie A, after Kenan Yildiz and Jonathan David also made mistakes.

“When you play with four at the back, you have to spread the ball and surround them, so you create one-on-one situations. I kept telling them to find Yildiz and Conceicao, because Sassuolo were pinned back into their own penalty area,” Spalletti told Sky Sport Italia.

“If you play through the middle and lose the ball, you struggle to get it back. If you lose it out wide, you can stop the counter and win it back quickly. Instead, we made decisions that in the long run we paid a price for, because too many times we didn’t make the right choices, there wasn’t enough maturity.

“We conceded the equaliser, created quite a few situations similar to the one that Sassuolo scored, we had at least 10 of those, but we weren’t reactive enough, didn’t make the smartest choices.”

There were some good choices for the goal, because Mattia Perin immediately launched Francisco Conceicao down the right after a Sassuolo corner, and then the Portuguese talent pulled it back for Yildiz.

“Perin and Conceicao made the right decisions there, but Conceicao had another six of those situations in the first half alone where he chose the wrong option, or he had a bad shot, or he passed it to Kalulu who missed the finish past the far post. When you do not execute the chances you create, you pay for that eventually,” explained Spalletti.

“Considering the chances and the way we poured forward to the end, I think if we had won, then it would’ve been deserved.”

The result means Juve are at the very best left in fifth place this weekend, and could fall further behind Como as well as potentially be caught by Roma.

“We are distraught with disappointment for the result, but smile anyway, because we create so many situations where we could’ve won it, but we have to accept the result. There were some good things in the second half, even if we moved the ball a bit too slowly,” noted the coach.

There was some good news for Juventus too, because in a late double substitution Spalletti gave Dusan Vlahovic his first appearance since the end of November 2025, and Arek Milik his first game since May 2024.

Finally, the former Italy coach was asked about the upcoming World Cup play-off against Northern Ireland, a qualifying campaign that he had started before being sacked two games in.

“I think we should have faith in this Nazionale. I believe Gattuso made the right decisions, so we have everything it takes to qualify for the World Cup.”

Muric: ‘Felt confident I could save Juventus penalty’

22 March 2026 at 02:06

Arijanet Muric reveals he felt ‘confident’ facing the Manuel Locatelli penalty and there was a ‘much more difficult’ save to earn Sassuolo the 1-1 draw with Juventus.

It was a dramatic evening in Turin, partly for the build-up because Sassuolo were missing four injured players, plus Nemanja Matic, Kristian Thorstvedt, Woyo Coulibaly and Stefano Turati who were left behind after showing symptoms of whooping cough.

The highly-infectious disease of the respiratory system swept through the squad and made it an extraordinarily difficult situation to deal with.

Nonetheless, they came back from the Kenan Yildiz strike with Andrea Pinamonti, then late on Muric smothered the Locatelli spot-kick.

“I think the team did very well, it’s all about energy, we had it spot on today, created a lot of chances as well, so I think we deserved to go home with a point,” Muric told Sky Sport Italia.

Juventus have now failed to convert three consecutive Serie A penalties, after Kenan Yildiz and Jonathan David errors, so what was Muric thinking when Locatelli stepped up?

“It was about a feeling, the moment he kicked it, I thought I’m going to save it. I was feeling confident. The header from Milik was much more difficult, but I managed to keep that out too, so it’s a great day.”

Sassuolo captain Domenico Berardi also congratulated Muric on his Serie A Man of the Match status.

“Aro has been giving us a big hand for a while now, he’s got great qualities and has been impressing for some time,” Berardi told Sky Sport Italia.

“We came here to have our say against a great opponent. Juventus are doing really well, but we managed to stay in the game after going behind, played with sacrifice, but also quality and good passing. We are happy to go home with a result.”

Serie A | Juventus 1-1 Sassuolo – Player Ratings: Muric saves Neroverdi from Yildiz-inspired Bianconeri

22 March 2026 at 01:51

Juventus were held to a 1-1 draw by Sassuolo at the Allianz Stadium on Saturday evening, with a first half goal from Kenan Yildiz cancelled out by an Andrea Pinamonti equaliser in the second.

Late in the match, Sassuolo goalkeeper Arijanet Muric saved a Manuel Locatelli penalty, after a Jay Idzes handball.

Football Italia’s Man of the Match was Muric, for his penalty save and numerous other chances that kept Sassuolo in the game and earned them a hard-fought point. Meanwhile, Pinamonti, Yildiz and Francisco Conceicao also deserve praise for competent performances.

Juventus 1-1 Sassuolo – Player Ratings

JuventusPerin 6.5; Kalulu 6.5, Bremer 5.5, Kelly 6 (Vlahovic 6.5), Cambiaso 5.5 (Miretti 5.5); Thuram 5.5 (Koopmeiners 5.5), Locatelli 5; Conceicao 7 (Zhegrova N/A), McKennie 5.5, Boga 5.5 (Milik 6); Yildiz 7

Best Juventus player: Kenan Yildiz – To nobody’s surprise, was once again the best Juventus player on the pitch. Took his goal well from the edge of the box to give the Bianconeri the lead and was unlucky not to have an assist, despite creating several great chances.

Lowest Juventus rating: Manuel Locatelli – Penalty miss aside, he was ineffective and struggled to leave his mark on the midfield. Then, when you factor in the penalty, which was saved well by Muric, turns into a pretty bad day at the office for the Italian.

Coach: Luciano Spalletti 6 – Couldn’t quite get his side to work right this evening, the coach will be frustrated after missing out on the three points. His substitutes added little to their efforts to score a late winner, aside from Dusan Vlahovic winning the penalty, although it was nice to see both Vlahovic and Milik back in action.

Sassuolo: Muric 8; Walukiewicz 5.5, Idzes 5.5, Muharemovic 7, Garcia 5.5; Kone 6, Vranckx 5.5 (Iannoni N/A), Bakola 5.5 (Lauriente 6); Berardi 6.5 (Doig N/A), Pinamonti 7 (Nzola N/A), Volpato 6.5 (Lipani 6)

Best Sassuolo Player: Arijanet Muric – The Sassuolo shot-stopper was in fine form tonight. The cream of the crop was his save to deny Locatelli from the penalty spot but he made another excellent save shortly after and was alert all evening.

Lowest Sassuolo rating: Jay Idzes – May feel slightly hard done-by when the referee judged him to have committed a late handball that saw the Bianconeri get a penalty. However, it was a careless mistake and he looked the shakiest of the Neroverdi back four this evening.

Coach: Fabio Grosso 7 – Did everything right to frustrate his counterpart this evening, tried not to disrupt the status quo too much with his changes but ultimately has Muric to thank for the point this evening.

Serie A | Juventus 1-1 Sassuolo: Old Lady stall despite whooping cough crisis

22 March 2026 at 01:44

A Sassuolo side decimated by a whooping cough outbreak managed to stall Juventus, as Andrea Pinamonti replied to Kenan Yildiz, with Manuel Locatelli’s late penalty saved.

The Bianconeri were back in the hunt for Champions League spots after a 3-3 draw at Roma and two straight wins, as Jeremie Boga was chosen to lead the attack flanked by Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceicao from the start. Emil Holm was the only remaining absentee, with Dusan Vlahovic on the bench four months after his serious injury. Sassuolo’s build-up was dominated by an unusual outbreak of whooping cough in the squad, ruling out Nemanja Matic, Kristian Thorstvedt, Woyo Coulibaly and Stefano Turati. On top of that, Fali Candé, Alieu Fadera, Daniel Boloca and Edoardo Pieragnolo were injured, following back-to-back defeats to Lazio and Bologna.

See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog.

Arijanet Muric had to make a save in the third minute when Manuel Locatelli was allowed a free header on Boga’s corner, then Francisco Conceicao’s volley was charged down by Tarik Muharemovic on the Weston McKennie knockdown.

Juventus broke through with some route one football, as Mattia Perin captured a corner and immediately launched Conceicao down the right with a long ball, the Portuguese talent cut inside and rolled across for Kenan Yildiz to sweep into the bottom corner from the edge of the area. It was his 10th Serie A goal of the season, a new personal best.

Khephren Thuram surged forward to sting Muric’s gloves, the goalkeeper also pushing a Yildiz looping effort over the bar, but Sassuolo threatened too when Andrea Pinamonti nodded over from point-blank range at the back post when Jay Idzes flicked on a corner.

Conceicao dribbled to the by-line and pulled back for Pierre Kalulu to sweep just wide of the far bottom corner from a very promising position.

On the stroke of half-time, only a decisive Lloyd Kelly toe deflection took the Domenico Berardi roll across away from Ulisses Garcia, who was ready to tap in from six yards.

Sassuolo equalised with a similar move after the restart, as Cristian Volpato sent Berardi down the right, and this time Pinamonti was there to meet it from close range, getting in front of Gleison Bremer.

Conceicao rode one tackle, but not the Aster Vranckx challenge inside the area, and Boga tested Muric from distance.

When Boga chipped a ball over the top for Kalulu, the defender decided to knock it back for Teun Koopmeiners and the finish was deflected over.

Conceicao stood up a cross to the far post for a Boga free header, but was denied by the sensational Muric reaction save.

There was a very special moment, as Juventus gave Dusan Vlahovic his first game since November 2025, and Arkadiusz Milik had his first competitive appearance since May 25, 2024.

Vlahovic made an immediate impact, as his header struck Idzes on the arm and it was spotted by VAR for a late Juventus penalty. However, Locatelli stepped up and the weak, central spot-kick was smothered by Muric. It was the third consecutive penalty that Juventus failed to convert in Serie A.

Idzes made up for the error with a crucial clearance to stop Vlahovic tapping in the Kalulu cross, then Muric made a desperate save on the line from the Milik towering header and the attempted Vlahovic follow-up.

Kenan Yildiz fired over from a tricky angle with his left foot deep into stoppages.

Milik makes first Juventus appearance since 2024 & Vlahovic returns

22 March 2026 at 01:34

One of Juventus’ forgotten stars was back on the field in Bianconeri colours on Saturday evening, when Arkadiusz Milik replaced Jeremie Boga with ten minutes left to play.

The Polish forward has been sat on the sidelines for nearly two years, having played his last match for the club in May 2024.

Since then, numerous injury setbacks have pushed the Pole right to the fringes in Turin but he made his return to the field tonight.

You can follow the end of the match, and relive all the action, as it happened, on our Live Blog.

Not just Milik, as Vlahovic returns to the pitch for Juventus

Meanwhile, even more positively, Dusan Vlahovic made his return from injury, replacing Lloyd Kelly at the same time as Milik was introduced, as Spalletti looked to snatch a late winner.

The Serbian has been absent since the end of November, and has been sorely missed, especially given the struggles of Lois Openda and Jonathan David.

With Vlahovic’s contract up in the summer, the end of the season is vital to prove he is worthy of a new deal in Turin, or to persuade suitors to take a chance on him.

Carnevali: ‘Not easy for Sassuolo amid outbreak, but ready to have say against Juventus’

21 March 2026 at 23:37

Sassuolo director Giovanni Carnevali admits it has ‘not been an easy week’ for them dealing with a whooping cough outbreak, but they ‘feel ready to have our say’ against Juventus anyway.

It kicks off at the Allianz Juventus Stadium at 19.45 GMT (20.45 CET).

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

The Neroverdi are dealing with a truly extraordinary situation, as an outbreak of whooping cough has spread throughout the squad.

There is one confirmed diagnosis, with five others isolated after exhibiting symptoms, although the club has not named any of them due to privacy concerns.

It is fairly easy to work out who is missing from the squad today, namely Nemanja Matic, Kristian Thorstvedt, Woyo Coulibaly and Stefano Turati.

Sassuolo were already without injured Fali Candé, Alieu Fadera, Daniel Boloca and Edoardo Pieragnolo.

“The week has certainly not been an easy one, but we’ve got to focus on the match against a very strong team,” Carnevali told Sky Sport Italia and DAZN Italia.

“When you face a side like Juventus, you will always have extra motivation, regardless of the circumstances. We know that we are not in the best situation possible, but we do feel ready to have our say in this game.

“The players who were taken ill are already improving, it’s part of the game and it gives an opportunity to those who haven’t played as much.”

The build-up has seen Sassuolo bring back Covid-era protocols to prevent the spread of this highly-infectious illness, which can even be fatal for babies.

That includes not shaking hands before kick-off, no exchange of jerseys at the final whistle, while families were warned not to get too close together in the stands either.

“Even if we haven’t beaten the big clubs yet this season, we always caused them a lot of problems.”

There is a first start for 18-year-old Darryl Bakola, who was purchased from Olympique Marseille in January for €10m plus €2m in add-ons.

“He is a young player and Sassuolo always trust youth, we made a big investment, we wanted him at all costs and beat a lot of competition from more prestigious clubs,” explained Carnevali.

“His growth process certainly doesn’t depend on this match, it’s a long-term project, and we believe Sassuolo is the ideal club for him to flourish.”

The Neroverdi have a veteran too, but Domenico Berardi was not called up for the Italy squad going into the 2026 World Cup play-offs.

“I had hoped he would get that call, as Domenico is having a great season. We’ve just got to hope that the Nazionale reach the World Cup, regardless of Berardi.”

Spalletti: ‘Juventus must not be arrogant amid Sassuolo crisis, new Boga role’

21 March 2026 at 23:23

Luciano Spalletti warns against Juventus getting ‘arrogant’ due to the Sassuolo whooping cough crisis, while he welcomes back Dusan Vlahovic and trusts Jeremie Boga in a new role.

It kicks off at the Allianz Juventus Stadium at 19.45 GMT (20.45 CET).

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

Sassuolo are in a very strange situation, as there is one confirmed case of whooping cough in the squad, and another four players who have been isolated after showing symptoms.

Although the club has not named any of them due to privacy concerns, notably Nemanja Matic, Kristian Thorstvedt, Woyo Coulibaly and Stefano Turati are not here today.

The Neroverdi were already without injured Fali Candé, Alieu Fadera, Daniel Boloca and Edoardo Pieragnolo, but Spalletti refuses to see this as an advantage.

Spalletti does not expect struggling Sassuolo

“Any team usually has 15-16 first choice players, naturally there are some who play more, but that doesn’t mean the others aren’t valid,” Spalletti told Sky Sport Italia.

“I remember during the Covid era when there were only 13 players who came here with Napoli, we got a draw with a wonderful Mertens goal. So this sort of thing can create a bit of arrogance if you are not intelligent enough to handle the news, or on the other side gives you extra motivation to give something more and help your teammates out.”

The Bianconeri got themselves back in the hunt for a Champions League spot thanks to the fightback for a 3-3 draw at Roma, then two consecutive Serie A victories over Pisa and Udinese.

Among the keys to the turnaround was the move to a 4-3-3 formation, with Jeremie Boga as the centre-forward this time from the start rather than at half-time, sending Jonathan David to the bench.

“I asked all those who worked with Boga, they said he has to play on the left, but when I put him in the centre, he proved that he knows how to hurt the opposition centre-backs,” explained Spalletti.

“If he has 10 metres behind him, he can use that with a lethal change of pace, it’s impossible to keep up with him. So we’ll try to make the most of that, as well as his technique, as he does well with the ball at his feet.”

Dusan Vlahovic is back on the bench for the first time since November 29, when he suffered a serious thigh injury, and his future at the club remains to be seen with a contract that expires on June 30.

“Arek Milik is on the bench too, so we’ve got four centre-forwards on the bench. Vlahovic is doing well, naturally he has different characteristics, he had a lot of difficulty sticking to the rules after a very serious injury, but seeing as we are at the end of that process now, we will try not to do any more damage.”

Serie A official line-ups: Juventus vs. Sassuolo

Juventus have Dusan Vlahovic back in the squad after four months, but Jeremie Boga starts with Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceicao against a Sassuolo side affected by a virus outbreak.

It kicks off at the Allianz Juventus Stadium at 19.45 GMT (20.45 CET).

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

The Bianconeri are back in the hunt for a top four finish after the 3-3 thriller with Roma, then back-to-back victories over Pisa and Udinese.

The key was dropping Jonathan David for Boga as a False 9, flanked by Conceicao and Yildiz, so that is repeated here today with Boga facing his former club.

Emil Holm is now the only remaining absentee, because both long-term injury cases Vlahovic and Arek Milik are on the bench.

Mattia Perin keeps the gloves, with Khephren Thuram preferred to Teun Koopmeiners.

Sassuolo had a very strange build-up to this game, as six players were isolated after showing symptoms of whooping cough.

The identities of the players affected were not confirmed, with only one confirmed case of pertussis, which is an infection of the lungs and breathing tubes.

The Neroverdi had been on fine form until recently, then suffered back-to-back defeats with Lazio and Bologna.

Sassuolo were already missing injured Fali Candé, Alieu Fadera, Daniel Boloca and Edoardo Pieragnolo.

The players not in the squad are Nemanja Matic, Kristian Thorstvedt, Woyo Coulibaly and Stefano Turati.

These teams met on January 6, with Juve running out 3-0 winners away from home.

Official: Vlahovic returns after nearly 4 months as Juventus squad list confirmed

21 March 2026 at 16:59

Dusan Vlahovic returns to the Juventus squad for the first time in nearly four months as the Serbia international is available for selection for tonight’s Serie A match against Sassuolo.

Juventus star Vlahovic is part of the Bianconeri’s squad list for their Serie A match against Sassuolo on Saturday.

Vlahovic has not made a competitive appearance for the Old Lady since November 29, when he was subbed off after less than 30 minutes of a home game against Cagliari. The Serbian was forced to undergo surgery at the start of December to repair a tendon in the left adductor.

He’s not expected to start tonight, but he could make a substitute appearance, giving Luciano Spalletti a much-needed boost for the final part of the season, during which the Old Lady will push to snatch a top-four finish.

Vlahovic has scored two goals and provided two assists in 17 appearances across all competitions this season.

His contract expires at the end of the season, but according to the latest reports, the Bianconeri are confident they can reach an agreement to extend his stay at the club.

Serie A: Juventus vs. Sassuolo – probable line-ups, where to watch on TV

21 March 2026 at 13:34

Juventus will look to Kenan Yildiz and Jeremie Boga for a home Serie A match against Sassuolo, who have been hit by a whooping cough outbreak this week.

It kicks off at 20:45 CET (19:45 GMT) at the Allianz Stadium in Turin.

Emil Holm is still unavailable for the Bianconeri, while Dusan Vlahovic is still in doubt, and even if he’s available for selection, he’ll start on the bench.

As reported by several Italian sources, including Sky Sport Italia, Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti is expected to pick the same XI that beat Udinese last week, with Kenan Yildiz playing as a false nine and Boga in the left winger position.

Sassuolo are dealing with a selection crisis as they confirmed a case of whooping cough on Friday and five other team members with symptoms consistent with the disease.

The club, however, have not named those affected by the disease, so their available players will only be known when the teams are announced an hour before kick-off.

As reported by SassuoloNews, the likes of Domenico Berardi, Andrea Pinamonti, and Sebastian Walukiewicz will surely be part of the team and are expected to start.

Cristian Volpato, Luca Moro, Edoardo Iannoni, Pedro Felipe, Aro Muric, Giacomo Satalino, Gioele Zacchi and Cristian Frangella are also expected to be available.

Juventus vs. Sassuolo – where to watch on TV

The match will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 2 and DAZN in the UK and Ireland and on Paramount+ in the USA. Football Italia will provide live updates via a liveblog.

Juventus vs. Sassuolo – probable line-ups

Juventus (4-2-3-1): Perin; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly, Cambiaso; McKennie, Locatelli, Koopmeiners;  Conceição, Boga, Yildiz.

Sassuolo (4-3-3): Muric; Walukiewicz, Idzes, Muharemovic, Garcia; Thorstvedt, Matic, Koné; Berardi, Pinamonti, Laurienté. 

OnePlus Nord 6 Roundup: Everything you need to know before launch

21 March 2026 at 07:10

The OnePlus Nord 6 hasn’t been officially announced yet, but at this point, most of the picture is already in focus. Thanks to benchmark listings, tipster leaks, and a few early teasers from OnePlus itself, we already have a fairly good idea of what the device might bring.

Here’s a full roundup of what to expect from the upcoming OnePlus Nord 6.

OnePlus Nord 5
OnePlus Nord 5

Design

OnePlus hasn’t revealed the phone’s design outright yet, but a recent teaser gives us a hint about where things might be headed. The teaser shows an X-ray-style view of a bag filled with everyday items and the phone itself.

OnePlus Nord 6 Teaser

The device’s design isn’t clearly visible, but the imagery highlights a large battery silhouette. That detail lines up neatly with one of the biggest claims circulating in the current round of leaks.

If those reports are accurate, the Nord 6 could feature a massive 9,000mAh battery. If true, that would likely make it the largest battery ever shipped in a OnePlus phone globally. The device is also expected to support 80W wired fast charging.

Performance

The OnePlus Nord 6 is widely expected to run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. The phone has already appeared on Geekbench with this processor, where it reportedly scored around 2,040 in the single-core test and roughly 6,520 in the multi-core test.

OnePlus-Nord-6-Geekbench
OnePlus Nord 6 Geekbench

The chip configuration includes a prime Cortex-X4 core clocked at 3.21GHz, supported by multiple Cortex-A720 performance cores. Graphics duties are handled by an Adreno 825 GPU.

In practical terms, that should translate into smoother multitasking, better gaming performance, and more headroom for demanding apps.

There’s also mention of a self-developed G1 e-sports Wi-Fi chip, which is said to improve connection stability during gaming sessions.

Display upgrades

If the leaks are accurate, the Nord 6 will feature a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution. That’s already in line with what you’d expect in this segment, but the phone is also rumored to support a whopping 165Hz refresh rate.

OnePlus-Nord-6-box-image

High-refresh-rate displays are common now, but 165Hz is still relatively rare outside gaming-focused devices. Whether most users will notice a meaningful difference compared to 120Hz or 144Hz is debatable, but OnePlus might target Nord 6 as a device built to handle high-frame-rate gaming more comfortably.

There’s also talk of dedicated 165Hz gaming modes, which, if properly optimized, could appeal to a specific group of users.

Cameras

While performance and battery upgrades are getting most of the attention, the camera setup could be more restrained. The Nord 6 is expected to feature a 50-megapixel primary rear camera alongside a 2-megapixel secondary lens. On the front, the phone could include a 16-megapixel camera for selfies.

That’s not necessarily a downside. The Nord series has typically focused on delivering a reliable main camera rather than chasing flagship-level versatility. The key will be consistent image processing.

Still, it’s safe to say the Nord 6 probably won’t be the phone you buy primarily for its camera system.

Software, memory, and color configurations

On the software side, the Nord 6 is expected to ship with Android 16 out of the box.

Memory and storage configurations are rumored to include 8GB of RAM with 256GB of storage, as well as a 12GB RAM variant with the same storage capacity.

Color options could include Black, Mint, and Silver.

A possible connection to the OnePlus Turbo 6

One recurring theme across multiple reports is that the Nord 6 could be closely related to the OnePlus Turbo 6, which has already been launched in China.

And this isn’t unusual. OnePlus has a long history of adapting its China-exclusive devices for global markets with minor tweaks. If that pattern holds, the Nord 6 could essentially be a refined version of the Turbo 6 with a few adjustments for international markets.

Launch timing and what comes next

As for when the Nord 6 might actually arrive, early reports point to a launch window in the first week of April 2026, with April 7 mentioned as a possible date.

OnePlus hasn’t confirmed anything yet, but its teaser campaign suggests an announcement may not be far off.

India is expected to be one of the first markets to receive the device. There’s also talk of a more affordable sibling, the Nord CE 6, which has already appeared in certification databases.

Fabrizio Romano confirms Man United star would “welcome” transfer exit this summer

21 March 2026 at 10:57

Fabrizio Romano has confirmed our recent report on Joshua Zirkzee wanting out of Manchester United in the upcoming summer transfer window.

DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CAUGHTOFFSIDE APP FOR ALL THE LATEST & BREAKING UPDATES – STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE! ON APPLE & GOOGLE PLAY

The Netherlands international has struggled since joining Man Utd from Bologna, and it now seems he could look for a return to Serie A.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano explained that Zirkzee would “welcome” a transfer away from Old Trafford this summer, with a return to Italy mentioned as a possibility.

This is similar to our info from a few days ago as we reported Zirkzee wants to leave United and ideally return to Serie A even though he has also had some interest from Premier League clubs.

Joshua Zirkzee transfer update from Fabrizio Romano

“I can guarantee to you guys that the desire of Joshua Zirkzee is to change in the summer transfer window,” Romano said.

“Zirkzee would welcome a transfer out of Manchester United.”

He added: “In the summer he’s expected to leave and there is interest from Premier League. There are some Premier League clubs already calling to understand if there is a chance to sign Joshua Zirkzee in the summer transfer window, but also Italian clubs.

“Italian clubs have always been around for Zirkzee. In January Roma had been pushing, Juventus were keen as well. Now more clubs also joining the race.

“Joshua Zirkzee is absolutely one to watch for the summer transfer window and could leave Manchester United.”

Manchester United need to move Joshua Zirkzee on

It’s clear that it just hasn’t worked out for Zirkzee at United and it looks like the right decision to move him on this summer.

The 24-year-old may well go on to have a fine career in Italian football, but he hasn’t looked cut out for the fast and physical nature of the English game.

Some MUFC fans will be disappointed that this deal didn’t work out as Zirkzee looked like an exciting prospect when he joined, but he has unfortunately gone on to become the latest in a long line of flops signed in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era.

It will be interesting to see who United move for as a replacement in attack this summer, with more depth surely needed if Zirkzee ends up leaving.

Verizon Galaxy Z Fold 3 gets another February 2026 update in the US

21 March 2026 at 01:43

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 users in the US are getting another February 2026 security update. Right now, it is only live for users on the Verizon network.

Earlier this month, Samsung already sent a security update for this phone. Now, Verizon users are getting a second update based on the February 2026 security patch. The new version is F926USQSFKZB7. It is not yet clear if phones on other networks will get it soon.

This update does not bring new features. It may aim to make your phone safer and more stable. Security updates protect your phone from viruses, malware, and other problems. Stability improvements help the phone run more smoothly and avoid crashes or freezes.

Verizon Galaxy Z Fold 3 February 2026 update

Even though the update notes don’t list specific fixes, it is expected to solve problems some users had with the first February update. After this update, some phones may have minor bugs, and this second update may fix those issues. Samsung has not given full details about what problems are being fixed.

If you have a Verizon Galaxy Z Fold 3, you can check for this update easily. Go to Settings >> Software Update >> Download and Install. Make sure your phone is connected to Wi-Fi and has enough battery, or keep it charging while updating.

For now, only Verizon users in the US can download this update. Other users on different networks should wait for Samsung to release it for them. Updating your phone regularly is important because it keeps your device safe and running well.

Samsung appears to wrap up Galaxy Z TriFold sales in the US

21 March 2026 at 00:42

Samsung’s Galaxy Z TriFold is now out of stock in the US, and it looks like it won’t return. The phone is no longer available on Samsung’s website, and the company has already said that it will not make more units. This means the device’s short time in the US market has come to an end.

Before this, Samsung had already finished its last restock in South Korea. The company clearly said that once the remaining phones were sold in other countries, there would be no more left. Now, that situation has become real, and the phone is officially gone from stores.

The big reason many people missed buying it is that it was not widely available. Samsung only sold the Galaxy Z TriFold on its own website and in a few Samsung Experience Stores in big cities. It was not sold through mobile carriers or common retail shops.

The Galaxy Z TriFold is a special device with a new folding design. It folds in more than one way, which makes it different from other phones. Samsung likely make it to test a new idea and see how people react to such designs.

Even though the phone is now discontinued, this may not be the end of the idea. Samsung is already working on the next version, which may be called the Galaxy Z TriFold 2. Reports say it could be slimmer and stronger. Stay tuned for more information.

Forgotten Juventus midfielder Arthur aims to convince Spalletti & Ancelotti, Compares himself to Napoli star Lobotka

20 March 2026 at 22:01

Few players in recent Serie A history have had their careers so dramatically derailed by a single transfer as Juventus man Arthur Melo.

The Brazilian arrived at Juventus from Barcelona in 2020 amid enormous fanfare, only to endure five deeply frustrating years in Turin that yielded little of the elegance that had made him one of Europe’s most coveted midfielders.

Now, on loan at boyhood club Gremio, the Brazilian looks reborn, and he has his sights set on convincing Luciano Spalletti to give him one final chance at the Allianz Stadium.

The numbers from his return to Brazil have been striking.

Eleven appearances, a goal, and a pass completion rate of 95% in 2026 alone, capped by helping Gremio win the Gaucho, the Rio Grande do Sul state championship.

A minor muscular injury in the final against Internacional has been the only blemish.

Juventus Outcast Arthur Aiming To Convince Head Coach Spalletti

His self-assessment is characteristically bold, with quotes via La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“Luciano likes to have an organising midfielder, a fulcrum of the team, and I love that role,” he said. “Pizarro and Lobotka both flourished under Spalletti with possession-based, tactically intelligent football. It is not absurd to think I could adapt well. We will see.”

On his troubled spell in Turin, Arthur was thoughtful rather than bitter.

“I arrived during a period of transition at the club with many changes, and that probably affected everyone, including me,” he said. “I have the regret of not being able to show at Juventus what I am demonstrating at Gremio. But I learned a lot in Italy.”

He was equally philosophical about leaving Barcelona.

“It leaves a bittersweet taste, I was happy there. But Juventus allowed me to discover another culture and grow as a man, even through difficulties. Lessons I perhaps would never have learned staying in my comfort zone.”

Arthur also addressed his hopes of a Brazil World Cup call-up under Carlo Ancelotti, and took the opportunity to recommend two Gremio youngsters, 18-year-old defender Luis Guedes and 17-year-old winger Gabriel Mec, as future stars to monitor.

On playing alongside both Messi and Ronaldo, his verdict was suitably poetic. “Leo is magic. Cristiano is work, hunger, ambition: a winning mentality that pushes everyone around him. I feel privileged to have played with both.”

Juventus coach Spalletti provides Vlahovic update & claims: ‘I’m willing to listen to the club’ about renewal

20 March 2026 at 21:38

Luciano Spalletti held his pre-match press conference ahead of Juventus’ Serie A clash with Sassuolo, addressing a number of pressing topics including Dusan Vlahovic’s potential return, his own contract situation and the race for Champions League qualification with eight games remaining.

On Vlahovic, Spalletti was deliberately coy, directing reporters to the official squad list for confirmation.

“There are a couple of players with some discomfort to assess, we will have the final picture by tomorrow morning,” he said, with quotes via TuttoMercatoWeb.

The Serbian striker has been absent through injury and his return would be a timely boost for a side still pushing hard for a top-four finish.

Juventus coach Spalletti plays up renewal talks

Spalletti was more forthcoming on the subject of his own renewal, suggesting the international break provided an ideal window for productive discussions with the club.

“It seems like a correct moment, there is less stress and the necessary time,” he said. “On my part there is complete availability to hear what the club wants to say to me.”

He was careful, however, not to discuss potential signings, joking that talking about players he might want to bring in while his own contract is unsigned would make him “feel like an idiot.”

The Juventus coach also delivered a passionate defence of his squad’s motivation, dismissing any suggestion that missing the Champions League would be straightforward to absorb.

“Pressure is a privilege that belongs only to those who have a history to honour,” he said. “Our fans travelled to Bodo, overcoming all the costs and difficulties just to be there. We owe them everything.”

On the number nine debate that has followed Juventus all season, Spalletti was characteristically direct.

“It is the moment, the episodic decisions inside a game, that decides things, not a profile. We are not inferior to Galatasaray. The red cards decided that tie, not the level of football.”

Samsung just fixed this annoying gesture problem on One UI 8.5

20 March 2026 at 17:50

Samsung has released a new update for its One Hand Operation Plus app with version 8.8.11. This app helps users control their phone with one hand using simple gestures to make the app smoother and easier to use.

The update brings some useful changes, as the System Back gesture is now turned ON by default for phones running One UI 8.5. This means you don’t have to turn it on yourself. It will already be working.

Samsung has also fixed a problem where gestures stopped working after rotating the screen. Now, gestures work properly in both portrait and landscape modes. There are also some bug fixes and small improvements to enhance app stability.

With this update, the app works better and feels smoother. The default back gesture saves time, and the rotation fix makes sure gestures work all the time.

You can update the app from the Galaxy Store on your Samsung phone. Open the store, search for One Hand Operation Plus, and tap update. Also, you can download the update directly via the Good Lock app.

Six Sassuolo players in isolation before Juventus game due to ‘whooping cough’ outbreak

20 March 2026 at 18:06

Sassuolo revealed on the eve of their Serie A clash with Juventus that they had notified Lega Serie A of a confirmed case of whooping cough in the squad, along with five additional team members showing ‘symptoms consistent with the disease.’

A whooping cough (pertussis) outbreak has hit the Sassuolo squad days before their Serie A match against Juventus.

Sassuolo’s statement after case of whooping cough identified

The Neroverdi wrote in an official statement on Friday: “Sassuolo announce that, following several tests carried out in recent days, one case of whooping cough has been identified, along with five cases showing symptoms consistent with the disease within the team group.

“Individuals presenting symptoms are currently in isolation and have been under constant monitoring by the club’s medical staff for the past three days. The staff is applying all procedures required by current health protocols in coordination with the health authorities. It is also noted that all asymptomatic members of the group have promptly undergone specific prophylactic measures.

“The club has already informed the Lega Serie A of the current situation and will continue to closely monitor developments, adopting all necessary measures to safeguard the health of its players and staff.”

Sassuolo play away at Juventus on Saturday night, and according to Italian sources, including TMW, the game is not at risk of being postponed.

The identities of the Sassuolo player diagnosed with pertussis and those with symptoms remain unknown.

Sassuolo have lost their last two Serie A matches, but sit tenth in the standings with 38 points in 29 matches.

Juventus sit fifth with two consecutive wins in Serie A. Luciano Spalletti’s men are unbeaten in the last three league games and are one point below fourth-placed Como.

Juventus and Sassuolo met not long ago in the reverse fixture on January 6, seeing the Bianconeri secure a comfortable 3-0 victory.

Juventus hold Retegui talks as Fenerbahce call Openda

20 March 2026 at 15:58

Tuttosport newspaper reports that Mateo Retegui has held talks with Juventus after Milan, while Turkish side Fenerbahce have shown interest in Lois Openda.

Italy international Retegui is eager to return to Serie A after just one season at Al-Qadisiya, and, according to Tuttosport, his father has held direct talks with Juventus in recent days.

Tuttosport reported earlier this week that one of Retegui’s agents had also met Milan director Igli Tare.

Juventus’ main target in attack remains Randal Kolo Muani, followed by Retegui, Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee and Chelsea-owned Nicolas Jackson.

Juventus are determined to sign a new centre-forward for 2026-27 regardless of Dusan Vlahovic’s possible contract extension.

The Serie A giants will be listening to offers for Jonathan David and Openda, and, according to the report, the latter has already received an initial inquiry from Fenerbahce, coached by ex-Belgium boss Domenico Tedesco.

The 2024-25 Serie A top-goal scorer has netted five goals in six matches under Gattuso.

One UI 8.5 Beta is too close to the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Fold 6 in the US

By:Yash
20 March 2026 at 13:41

Samsung’s One UI 8.5 Beta inches closer to Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 in the US. The first Beta firmware builds were spotted recently. Now, the company has published Beta forums on its Samsung Members community in USA.

As spotted by Alfaturk, Samsung Members community in the US now has Beta forums for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6. These pages will function as a dedicated hub for reports, feedback, and official updates from moderators.

When the One UI 8.5 Beta goes live, posts made by Beta participants will appear on this forum. It helps One UI staff members hear consumer concerns. Based on their feedback, developers will bring refinements to the software.

The Beta forums indicate that the One UI 8.5 Beta could be provided to the Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 soon. At present, the software is available on the Galaxy S26 series as Stable, while Beta is running on the S25 series, Fold 7 and Flip 7.

https://twitter.com/Alfaturk16/status/2034911130607321427

Apart from the Fold 6 and Flip 6, Samsung is also preparing the One UI 8.5 Beta for the S24 series, S25 FE, S24 FE, and Tab S11 series. The software debuted with the S26 series, and the S25 lineup could get it in April 2026.

Earlier, Samsung dropped the March 2026 security patch for various devices. That said, the foundation is already set; just the Beta deployment is left.

Galaxy S25 series will also receive the 8th Beta update. The rollout could take place next Wednesday and that’s when I assume the Beta Program expansion may take place for the S24 series, Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6.

20 March 2026 at 13:25

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus are ready to offer a three-year contract to Manchester City star Bernardo Silva and a salary of at least €7m per season.

Juventus are ready to send their offer to Manchester City captain Bernardo Silva, who is available on a free transfer as his contract runs out this coming June.

Juventus prepare offer for Bernardo Silva

La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the Serie A giants have already informed the midfielder’s agent, Jorge Mendes, that they are ready to offer the Portugal international a three-year deal with an option for a further campaign.

Gazzetta highlights that the proposed contract length is not entirely in line with the club’s policy regarding over-30 players, but Juventus are happy to make an exception given the player’s quality and experience.

OnePlus 15T camera specs officially revealed with LUMO imaging, 3x optical, 7x lossless zoom

20 March 2026 at 07:09
OnePlus 15T

OnePlus has started revealing more information about the upcoming OnePlus 15T ahead of its official debut in China on March 24. The company has now confirmed key aspects of the device’s imaging system and also shared early camera samples, offering a glimpse of what users can expect from its photography experience.

OnePlus 15T: Camera hardware and zoom capabilities

OnePlus 15T camera specs

The OnePlus 15T features a 50-megapixel Sony IMX906 primary camera with a large sensor designed to capture more light and improve dynamic range. This sensor has already appeared on several flagship devices and is known for maintaining detail even in challenging lighting conditions. The main camera is accompanied by a periscope telephoto lens with a 50-megapixel sensor, which may feature the Samsung JN5 sensor.

This telephoto camera supports 3.5x optical zoom and can extend to 7x lossless zoom through image processing. The lens structure allows a longer focal length inside a compact smartphone body, making it possible to capture distant subjects with greater clarity. The 3.5x zoom corresponds to an equivalent 85mm portrait focal length, which is widely used for natural-looking close-up shots. Here are some camera samples shared by the brand.

A notable part of the camera system is the Lumo imaging platform, an imaging technology brand introduced by Oppo and adapted for OnePlus devices. It focuses mainly on improving portrait photography. The platform combines advanced optical data capture, computational depth processing, and colour rendering technologies to deliver more accurate skin tones and realistic background blur.

The system includes a computational optics framework that gathers optical information across multiple focal lengths, along with a digital imaging engine that recreates optical depth effects through spatial computing. Another component called ProXDR enables an end-to-end HDR workflow, ensuring photos maintain high dynamic range from preview to final image and sharing.

The OnePlus 15T is also expected to include optical image stabilization across its rear cameras to improve photo sharpness and reduce blur. Apart from imaging upgrades, reports indicate that the device will feature a 6.32-inch flat OLED 1.5K display with a 165Hz refresh rate, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM, up to 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage, and a large 7,500mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. It will be available in brown, white, and green shades.

OnePlus 15T Roundup: Everything We Know So Far

19 March 2026 at 18:16
OnePlus 15T

OnePlus is preparing to launch the OnePlus 15T, its latest compact flagship smartphone, in China on March 24, 2026.

The company describes the device as a small-screen powerhouse designed to deliver flagship performance without the usual compromises associated with compact phones.

Here is a detailed look at the key features and specifications of the OnePlus 15T.

OnePlus 15T

Design and Build

The OnePlus 15T has a sleek design with a focus on ergonomics. The phone measures 71.82mm in width, 8.5mm in thickness, and weighs 194 grams. The company claims the weight is evenly balanced, which should make the phone feel comfortable during longer use.

The device will come in three colors: Pure Cocoa, Relaxing Matcha, and Healing White Chocolate. The Pure Cocoa and Relaxing Matcha variants feature AG frosted glass backs, which reduce fingerprints and provide a matte texture. The Healing White Chocolate version uses a micro-arc oxidation process, which creates a uniform white finish across the metal frame and glass back.

The OnePlus 15T offers durability with IP66, IP68, and IP69K ratings, which ensure resistance to dust and water, including high-pressure water jets. This makes the device a reliable option for outdoor or rugged environments.

Display

The OnePlus 15T features a 6.32-inch OLED LTPO flat display with 1.1mm ultra-thin bezels on all four sides. The screen supports a 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. The device also includes a 3D ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor for fast and secure unlocking.

Performance and Gaming

The OnePlus 15T runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, which delivers flagship-level performance. The phone uses LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, offering fast multitasking and data access. Configurations include up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage to meet the needs of power users.

OnePlus has focused heavily on gaming performance. The phone includes a Wind Chaser Gaming Core and Esports Triple Core, which optimize the device for intense gaming sessions.

The Tri-Chip system from the flagship OnePlus 15 also appears on the 15T. This setup improves gaming stability and performance. The OnePlus 15T supports gameplay at up to 165fps and includes a bypass charging feature that supplies power directly from the charger during gaming, reducing heat and battery wear.

Cameras

The OnePlus 15T comes with a dual-camera setup, which includes a 50MP main camera and a 3.5x periscope telephoto lens. This marks a significant upgrade over its predecessor, the OnePlus 13T, which lacked a telephoto lens.

The front of the phone features a 32MP selfie camera. OnePlus has also teased a LUMO imaging system, which promises detailed zoom shots and improved imaging performance, but further specifics remain undisclosed.

Battery and Charging

The OnePlus 15T offers a 7,500mAh battery, which is a significant capacity for a compact phone. The phone supports 100W wired charging, 50W wireless flash charging, and bypass charging.

Software

The OnePlus 15T runs on Android 16 with ColorOS 16. This software combination provides a clean and customizable user experience.

OnePlus Nord 6 box image leak with tentative launch date

19 March 2026 at 14:23
OnePlus-Nord-6-box-image

Just as the OnePlus Nord 6 recently surfaced on a benchmarking platform, a new leak has revealed what to expect from the upcoming mid-range smartphone. Tipster Yigesh Brar has shared an alleged box image of the device on X (formerly Twitter), along with key specifications and a possible launch timeline.

According to the leak, the OnePlus Nord 6 could feature a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. Powering the device will be the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. 

The Nord 6 appeared on Geekbench with the same chip, 12GB of RAM, and Android 16 OS. Its performance scores are 2,040 in single-core and 6,520 in multi-core tests.

In terms of cameras, the Nord 6 is tipped to include a 50MP primary sensor on the rear, accompanied by a 32MP front-facing camera for selfies and video calls. 

One of the most exciting claims is the reported 9,000mAh battery. This could probably be the biggest battery OnePlus phone to launch globally. The device is also expected to support 80W fast charging.

The OnePlus Nord 6 may be offered in two configurations: 8GB RAM with 256GB storage and 12GB RAM with 256GB storage. Color options are said to include Black, Mint, and Silver.

OnePlus Nord 6’s possible launch timeframe

As for availability, the tispater says the device could launch in the first week of April. April 7 is the most likely date.

Alongside the Nord 6, OnePlus may also introduce the OnePlus Nord CE 6. It recently appeared in India’s Bureau of Indian Standards certification database. That model is expected to target a more affordable segment of the market.

Inter starlet Bonny reveals he failed Juventus medical in 2021: ‘They told me playing football would be complicated’

19 March 2026 at 21:59

Inter forward Ange-Yoan Bonny has opened up on one of the most dramatic and emotionally charged moments of his young life, the day a failed medical at Juventus nearly ended his football career before it had truly begun.

Speaking exclusively to L’Équipe, with quotes via Goal, the Inter forward recalled the moment at just 17 years old when doctors detected a cardiac irregularity during what should have been a routine pre-signing examination.

“I went from joining Juventus to nothing,” he said. “The doctors told me that, in their view, playing football would be complicated. It is a hard blow for a boy full of dreams.”

Bonny bounces back from Juventus snub to star for Inter years later

What followed was a moment of raw human connection that Bonny still treasures.

He returned home to Tours and went straight to a car park in the heart of his neighbourhood, an unglamorous but deeply meaningful meeting spot for him and his closest friends.

“My friends were in the same emotional state as I was, as if it had happened to them,” he said. “I understood who I could count on. I will never forget that.”

It is the same car park where, years later, he announced his signing for Inter. The symmetry was clearly not lost on him.

Bonny’s career subsequently took a different path, a spell in Serie B with Parma, promotion to the top flight, and eventually a move to Inter, but the Juventus episode remains a defining chapter.

His mother played her own pivotal role too, threatening to withhold her signature on his first professional contract unless he passed his school exams.

“She told me: if you don’t bring home that diploma, I promise the contract doesn’t get signed,” he laughed. He passed at the resit.

Now firmly established at one of Europe’s biggest clubs, Bonny’s journey from that car park in Tours to San Siro is quite the story.

Juventus eye Napoli winger Spinazzola on free transfer

19 March 2026 at 21:38

Juventus are monitoring the situation of Leonardo Spinazzola as the experienced left winger approaches the end of his contract at Napoli.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, via IlNapolista, the Italian’s deal expires in June, and with negotiations over an extension yet to reach a conclusion, Juventus have made an approach to explore the possibility of signing him on a free transfer.

It is a move that would represent a return to the club where Spinazzola began his career.

Juventus offer Spinazzola two-year deal but Italian gives priority to Napoli

The sticking point appears to be contract length.

Napoli have offered a one-year extension with an option for a second, while Juventus are prepared to guarantee two years outright, matching what Spinazzola is understood to be seeking.

It is a meaningful difference, and one that gives the Bianconeri a clear advantage in any potential tug of war.

For now, however, Spinazzola is keen to handle the situation with respect towards Napoli, and is giving the club the opportunity to match his demands before making any decision.

Whether Antonio Conte’s side are willing to improve their offer to meet the player’s terms remains to be seen.

Should Spinazzola ultimately opt for the Juventus move, it would be a shrewd piece of free transfer business by CEO Damien Comolli, adding an experienced and versatile wide option without a transfer fee at a time when the club are managing their finances carefully.

Dibu Martinez offered, but Spalletti and Comolli disagree over new Juventus goalkeeper – report

19 March 2026 at 18:44

According to Tuttosport, Juventus CEO Damien Comolli has identified Guillaume Restes as the ideal goalkeeping reinforcement for next season, while Luciano Spalletti prefers a more experienced player, such as David de Gea or Emiliano Martinez.

Juventus will sign a new goalkeeper in the summer, as Michele Di Gregorio has failed to impress in his second season at the club, while Mattia Perin will seek a club that offers him a starting spot.

Juventus looking for new goalkeeper in 2026-27

According to Tuttosport, the top target identified by CEO Comolli is French keeper Restes, who is under contract with Toulouse.

Comolli, a former director and President of the French club, is well aware of Restes’ qualities as the 21-year-old has been playing for Toulouse since he was six.

He has already made 100 appearances for Toulouse’s senior team, and his price tag is around €20m.

Spalletti, however, would rather put this money toward reinforcements in other departments, picking a more experienced goalkeeper instead.

According to the report, Fiorentina’s De Gea, Tottenham’s Guglielmo Vicario and Aston Villa’s Martinez are among the players on Spalletti’s list.

Martinez has reportedly been offered to the Old Lady, who will consider the Argentine’s signature, as long as his wage demands aren’t too high.

Marco Carnesecchi of Atalanta and Liverpool’s Alisson are also highly regarded by Spalletti.

However, Carnesecchi has a high price tag and will sign a contract extension with La Dea in the coming weeks, while Alisson is unlikely to leave Liverpool before the end of his contract in 2027.

Del Piero cites Barcelona as he explains Italy’s ‘tired’ problem

19 March 2026 at 16:46

Juventus and Italy legend Alessandro Del Piero argues that Italian clubs are always ‘tired’, but should complain less about the fixture list and focus more on the pitch.

Serie A has no more representatives in the Champions League following Atalanta’s elimination from the Round of 16 at the hands of Bayern Munich.

Del Piero: Italian clubs ‘always’ tired

La Dea suffered a 10-2 aggregate loss against the Bundesliga giants while Napoli, Inter and Juventus had been knocked out in the previous rounds.

“Our problem is that we get tired. We are always the ones who are tired. In Italy, we are always tired,” Del Piero told Sky Sport via Fanpage.

“I’ve heard very few coaches abroad complain about matches or say we are tired. You have to adapt. We are talking about teams; you have to equip yourself accordingly.

“Today’s football is different. You have more players, more substitutions, more money to invest in physical preparation, recovery and so on. There’s more of everything.”

The last time an Italian club won the Champions League was in 2009-10 with José Mourinho’s Inter.

Since then, Juventus and Inter have reached the Final twice each, but failed to bring home the coveted cup.

“You need professionalism in trying to improve the players, because there is room for improvement. There is, because others do so,” Del Piero continued.

“We think we are the best, yet we concede seven goals, as it happened; then something isn’t quite right. Barcelona always play the same players. Then if someone gets injured, they take him out and put another one in.”

Del Piero won the Champions League with Juventus in 1996 and the World Cup with the Italy national team ten years later in 2006.

The Italian national team will play in the World Cup play-off later this month after failing to qualify for the competition in 2018 and 2022.

Intel's new feature can improve game loading times by up to 3x — Precompiled Shader Delivery comes to Arc Xe2 and Xe3 GPUs following DirectX SDK release

Intel is calling it Precompiled Shader Distribution and it's available on a bunch of Arc GPUs right away, supported in 11 games at launch, with more likely to follow. AMD is now the only company left who hasn't officially embraced this feature.

ASUS ROG Strix Scar 18 (2026) teased with 18″ Mini LED display, 450W power adapter

19 March 2026 at 12:08

ASUS has refreshed its ROG Strix gaming lineup for 2026, but the spotlight is clearly on the upcoming ROG Strix SCAR 18. It hasn’t fully launched yet, but early details and official renders give a pretty good idea of what ASUS is aiming for this year: more power, even if it comes at the cost of size.

The company announced the new Strix series alongside Intel’s latest Arrow Lake-HX chips, and the SCAR 18 (2026) is shaping up to be the top-end option. Images on ASUS’ ROG website show a familiar aggressive design, though the chassis has grown slightly. The laptop now weighs around 3.73kg and measures 35mm thick, both up from last year’s model. It’s not subtle, but that extra bulk seems to be there for a reason.

One of the more telling upgrades of this gaming laptop is the power adapter. ASUS is bundling a 450W charger, up from 380W on the previous version. That’s a big jump, and it usually points to higher sustained performance. ASUS itself hints at a higher total system power budget this time, which should help the laptop hold peak speeds for longer instead of dialing things back under load.

As expected, the hardware is top-tier. The SCAR 18 is expected to run on an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX-class chip, paired with NVIDIA RTX 5090 Laptop GPU. That combination should comfortably handle high-end gaming, heavy creative workloads, and pretty much anything else you throw at it.

Memory and storage look flexible as well. There are two DDR5-6400 slots for RAM upgrades and dual M.2 SSD slots with support for PCIe Gen5.

ASUS is sticking with a large 18-inch Mini LED panel with 3840 × 2400 resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate, which should be ideal for both gaming and content work.

The ROG Strix SCAR 18 (2026) is expected to arrive sometime in Q2 2026, with pricing and full configurations still to be confirmed. It’s clearly not trying to be lightweight, but for those chasing maximum performance in a laptop, that trade-off might be part of the appeal.

Juventus in contact with Jorge Mendes over free transfer for Man City star

18 March 2026 at 20:54

Reports in Italy claim that Juventus are in contact with Jorge Mendes, the agent of Manchester City star Bernardo Silva, who remains a target for the Bianconeri on a free transfer this summer. 

Reports Juventus in contact with Bernardo Silva’s agent

Reports from various outlets over the last few weeks claim that Juventus are interested in a free transfer for Manchester City’s Bernardo, who will be out of contract at the Etihad at the end of the 2025-26 season and is not currently expected to renew his deal. 

According to the latest updates from Matteo Moretto via the YouTube channel Fabrizio Romano in Italiano, Juventus are actively pursuing a deal for Bernardo and are in contact with the player’s entourage, which includes super agent Mendes.

As things stand, however, the ball is very much in the player’s court. And, Juventus will be made to wait as Bernardo is unlikely to make any major decisions on his future until the end of the 2025-26 season with Manchester City. 

The Bianconeri are certainly not the only side interested in a potential free transfer for Bernardo this summer. The Portugal international is said to have suitors in and outside Europe – Inter Miami and Galatasaray had been mentioned as potential destinations in reports elsewhere. 

What is clear, according to Calciomercato.com, is that Juventus will need to convince Bernardo to take a pay cut if he is to move to Turin, as the reported €10m net salary that he earns in Manchester would make him comfortably the highest-paid player in Serie A next season. 

Juventus transfers: Zirkzee offered, possible Kolo Muani swap deal

18 March 2026 at 15:55

According to Tuttosport, Joshua Zirkzee’s agent has informed Juventus that his client is available for a summer transfer, while Gazzetta reports that the Bianconeri are still keen on Randal Kolo Muani, especially with PSG interested in Jonathan David.

Juventus are expected to sign a new centre-forward in the summer, regardless of Dusan Vlahovic’s potential contract extension.

Latest Juventus transfer news on Zirkzee and Kolo Muani

Jonathan David and Lois Openda have failed to impress in their first season at the Allianz Stadium, so the Serie A giants will listen to offers for the pair this summer.

According to Gazzetta, PSG director Luis Campos, who had brought David to Lille, is considering a reunion with the Canadian star in Paris.

David scored 87 goals in 178 Ligue 1 matches before joining Juventus as a free agent last summer, and the Bianconeri would consider a swap deal involving the Canadian forward and Kolo Muani, who won’t remain at Tottenham beyond the summer.

Juventus already tried to re-sign Kolo Muani in the January window, but Tottenham refused to part ways with the French striker, who is still destined to return to Paris at the end of his loan spell in June.

Both Kolo Muani and David earn circa €6m/7m per season, so a potential swap deal would suit Juventus financially, also because PSG value Kolo Muani at €40m.

According to Tuttosport, on the other hand, a possible Bianconeri target for the summer is ex-Bologna star Zirkzee.

The Dutch forward has reportedly decided to leave Manchester United at the end of the season, and his agent, Kia Joorabchian, has informed the Bianconeri directors that his client is available for a summer transfer.

Cyprus February 2026: Kia Sportage and Nissan Qashqai dominate market off -13.8%

18 March 2026 at 02:05

Nissan Qashqai sales are up 57.5% year-on-year in February.

It’s another weak result for new car sales in Cyprus, based on data by our local partners SEMO Cyprus and INNOSOFT, with February volumes down -13.8% year-on-year to 1,107.

Serie A shirt sponsors: Which clubs make the most money as Inter & Milan lead the way

18 March 2026 at 01:30

Inter Milan and AC Milan sit jointly at the top of Serie A’s shirt sponsorship earnings table, but the gap between the division’s biggest clubs and the rest remains stark, and for one club, the commercial silence is deafening.

Both Milan clubs currently earn €30 million per season from their respective shirt partners, according to reports gathered by CalcioMercato.

Inter receive their fee from Bettson, whose logo appears as Bettson.sport on the jersey, a workaround required under Italian laws prohibiting direct betting sponsorship.

Milan’s deal with Emirates is worth the same figure this season, though a recently signed renewal will see that rise to €35 million from 2026/27 onwards.

Serie A shirt sponsors: Juventus, Napoli & Roma rise as Lazio go sponsorless

Juventus, meanwhile, have seen a dramatic fall in commercial income in this area.

Having gone a full season without a shirt sponsor, Save the Children carried no financial value, the club have returned Jeep to their jersey, but through an internal Exor arrangement worth just €19 million this season, rising to €23 million next year.

It is a far cry from the €45 million the previous Jeep deal delivered at its peak. Napoli’s MSC Crociere deal is worth €9 million this season and is also set to increase in the coming campaign.

Roma have just unveiled a new shirt partner of their own, Eurobet.live, another betting-adjacent workaround, worth €8 million this season and €13 million from next.

Across the city, however, Lazio remain the only club in Serie A without a shirt sponsor, with Claudio Lotito yet to secure any commercial partnership for the jersey.

Some of the most eye-catching figures come from family-owned clubs with internal sponsorship arrangements. Fiorentina receive €25 million from Mediacom, a company connected to the late Rocco Commisso’s family, while Sassuolo’s Mapei deal is worth €18 million.

At the other end of the scale, the numbers are considerably more modest. Bologna receive €3 million from owner Joey Saputo’s business, Atalanta earn €5 million from Lete, and Cagliari pick up €3.6 million from the Sardinian regional government.

Torino (Suzuki, €2.35m), Parma (Prometeon, €1.5m), Udinese (Friuli Venezia Giulia region, €1.5m) and Genoa (Pulsee, €1.2m) follow, with Verona, Lecce and Como all on €1 million.

Pisa bring up the rear with €700,000 from Cetilar, who also sponsor the stadium.

Juventus make decision on goalkeeping hierarchy for remainder of 2025-26 season

17 March 2026 at 22:03

Reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport indicate that Michele Di Gregorio has lost his no.1 status for the remainder of the season and that Mattia Perin is expected to be Juventus’s go-to shot stopper until the 2026-27 season. 

Di Gregorio has made a series of high-profile errors between the sticks for Juventus in 2025-26, which led to his being dropped for the last four matches between Serie A and the Champions League play-off second leg against Galatasaray. 

Head coach Luciano Spalletti had hinted that he would give Perin a run of two or three games in an attempt to take some of the pressure off Di Gregorio, but that run has now extended to four matches, and La Gazzetta dello Sport suggests that the situation is unlikely to change between now and the end of the 2025-26 season. 

After that, there is a possibility that neither Di Gregorio nor Perin stay on with Juventus after the summer transfer window according to Tuesday’s report. 

The Pink Paper claims that Juventus need to raise around €11m to avoid making a capital loss on Di Gregorio, who joined on loan with an obligation to buy from Monza for a reported €18m in the summer of 2024. 

La Gazzetta dello Sport claims that there are still options for Di Gregorio elsewhere in Serie A, and that it is not out of the question that another side picks him up this summer. 

Could Juventus replace both Di Gregorio and Perin this summer?

Perin, meanwhile, is now 33, has never been Juventus’s first choice, and is unlikely to claim the no.1 spot if the Bianconeri are to bring in another stopper this summer, which reports elsewhere claim is likely to happen. 

Perin had been linked with a move to Genoa during the January transfer window, and La Gazzetta dello Sport claims that it is not out of the question that he again seeks a move away for a sort-of ‘last dance’ as a no.1 in Serie A with just over a year remaining on his current Juventus contract. 

Meanwhile, several other goalkeepers have been linked with moves to Juventus in recent weeks, including Liverpool’s Alisson Becker, Tottenham’s Guglielmo Vicario and Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martinez.

La Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Atalanta’s Marco Carnsecchi would be the ‘dream’ option for Juventus, but the 25-year-old is not expected to come cheap. 

If Juventus are to bring in another goalkeeper this summer to serve as an understudy, La Gazzetta dello Sport has recommended a list that includes Lazio’s Ivan Provedel, Verona’s Lorenzo Montipo, Lecce’s Wladimiro Falcone, Cremonese’s Emil Audero and Bologna’s Federico Ravaglia.

Report Juventus resume interest in Greenwood amid growing Tonali competition

17 March 2026 at 18:00

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus have resumed their interest in Mason Greenwood, while Arsenal and Manchester United’s competition for Sandro Tonali has prompted the Bianconeri to continue talks with free agents Leon Goretzka and Bernardo Silva.

Juventus are preparing for next summer’s transfer campaign, although their priorities are Champions League qualification and Luciano Spalletti’s contract extension.

Gazzetta confirms that an agreement with Spalletti is near, with the Italian tactician expected to sign a new deal by Easter.

Juventus and Spalletti have already discussed possible reinforcements for 2026-27 and according to Gazzetta, the Serie A giants have once again targeted Marseille star Greenwood for the summer.

According to the report, Marseille might be forced to sell the Englishman for financial reasons if they miss out on Champions League qualification, but the price would be at least €50m.

Juventus have been monitoring Greenwood this season, but they also need Champions League qualification to afford his purchase.

Greenwood was already open to joining Juventus two years ago, but Marseille beat the Bianconeri to signing the ex-Manchester United man.

Leon Goretzka and Bernardo Silva, both available as free agents over the summer, are among Juventus’ top targets in central midfield.

The Bianconeri have been in talks with the pair in recent weeks, especially because their top target in the middle of the park, Tonali, has a high price tag and has been targeted by top Premier League clubs, especially Arsenal and Manchester United.

 

Austria February 2026: Dacia Bigster and Skoda Elroq strong in market up 8.5%

17 March 2026 at 03:01

Fifth Top 5 finish for the Dacia Bigster in Austria.

21,288 new cars hit Austrian roads in February, another solid 8.5% year-on-year improvement. After a double-digit gain in January, the year-to-date volume is up 10.4% to 44.217. Volkswagen (+1.7%) remains in the brands lead even though it can’t quite capitalise on the market growth. In contrast Skoda (+16.9%) and Audi (+10.4%) pushed ahead and complete the podium as it was also the case in January. BMW (-21%) is in a rut at #4 while Dacia (+13%) is up four spots on last month to round out the Top 5. Peugeot (+44.3%), Cupra (+21.7%) and Toyota (+15%) also make themselves noticed in the remainder of the Top 10. Below, BYD (+62.8%) at #12, Fiat (+89.4%), MG (+136.1%) and Leapmotor (+463.6%) are among carmakers standing out.

Model-wise, the VW Golf (-13.9%) repeats at #1 for what is only its third win in the past 12 months, it is followed by the Skoda Octavia (-27.5%) in even worse shape. The Toyota Yaris/Cross (+102.7%) doubles its sales year-on-year and surges 15 spots on January to #3. The Dacia Bigster (+40000%) celebrates one year in market with a splendid 4th position, already its 5th Top 5 finish in Austria. The VW Pplo (+23.5%) is down 5 ranks on last month but soars YoY, as do the Audi Q3 (+214.8%), Skoda Elroq (+623.5%), Enyaq (+82.4%), VW Bus (+72.5%), Seat Leon (+71%) and Audi A1 (+169.5%).

Chinese GPU vendor Zephyr has cancelled its single-fan RTX 4070 Ti Super due to VRAM price hikes — memory shortage is forcing a pivot to an SFF RTX 4070 Super instead

A single-fan RTX 4070 Ti Super had been in the works at Zephyr, a Chinese vendor, for a while, and it was close to completion, with even thermal testing data publicly released. Unfortunately, the memory crisis has gotten to Zephyr as well, and it has cancelled the project, choosing to instead develop an RTX 4070 Super instead.

Flabbergasted GPU repair wizard highlights dangers of liquid metal after leak kills entire RTX 5070 Ti — user-applied TIM spread to every crevice of the PCB, physically cracking and shorting out the core

An RTX 5070 Ti with user-applied liquid metal died because the TIM leaked out everywhere and shorted multiple components, eventually killing the core as well. Despite being part of a "repair" video, there's nothing really here to fix, as most of the important ICs would need to be replaced or at least reballed.

AMD's upcoming RDNA 5 GPUs might improve dual-issue execution & use shader units more efficiently — LLVM patch adds new FMA instruction to ease compiling

A new LLVM patch has added V_FMA_F32, a 3-operand fused multiply-add (FMA instruction and introduced the VOPD3 instruction format for RDNA 5. Both of these changes should make it easier for compilers to use dual issue execution, working around the strict pairing rules that would otherwise limit max FP32 throughput in certain workloads.

Shopper scores $1,000 in PC hardware for just $86 in a shocking pricing glitch — Newegg shrugs off massive loss and responds with a thumbs-up emoji

A Redditor only paid $86.98 for a Ryzen 5 7600X, a Gigabyte B850 Eagle motherboard, and a 32GB DDR5-6000 Corsair Vengeance RGB kit from Newegg. The CPU even included a free 240mm Cooler Master AIO worth $85 on its own. All these parts would typically cost $1,012, but this customer scored a combo deal for the ages.

Nvidia claims 1 million times better path tracing performance is coming in future gaming GPUs — says current GPUs are already 10,000x faster than Pascal

At GDC 2026, Nvidia held a presentation somehow aimed at gamers and not data center clients. Still, it was sprinkled with AI pat-on-the-backs, with the company touting that its future gaming GPUs will offer 1,000,000 better path tracing performance. And the current-gen Blackwell family is apparently already 100,000x better due to dedicated Tensor and RT cores.
