The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, Episode 351: Juve’s goalkeeper search is coming to a conclusion
Over the course of the last two or three months, Juventus have had so many pivots to new goalkeeper targets that you’d be forgiven to have lost track of all the backup plans to the previously most recent backup plan that there were. From Plan A to Plan B. From Plan B to Plan C. […]
OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL: Jhon Lucumí gets his long-awaited move to Juventus
For the entire summer we’ve been sitting, waiting and hoping that Juventus pull the trigger on a move that will hopefully upgrade a defensive unit that has been desperately in need of some new blood. To begin the week in which the new season begins, that defensive reinforcement arrived. Juventus announced on Monday that they […]

Reports: Juventus looking to sign Tottenham’s Guglielmo Vicario on loan with option to buy
Juventus’ second attempt to sign Emi Martinez came and went on Sunday faster than a whole lot of people could have even imagined. One minute the Bianconeri are making a surprise offer for the 33-year-old Argentine when a few days earlier it looked like they had no chance of signing him, and only a few […]
Reports: Juventus abruptly end pursuit of Emi Martinez as talks for Guglielmo Vicario are now ‘heating up’
Saturday morning brought the possibility that Juventus could very well end up with the goalkeeper that they had pursued for the vast majority of the summer mercato. Before the day was done, that hope a deal could get done for Emi Martinez had essentially disappeared. According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein and Jacob Tanswell as […]
Reports: Juventus make new offer for Emi Martinez as Zion Suzuki secures Aston Villa move
After a couple of weeks of things looking like they were dead in the water when it comes to Juventus’ pursuit of Emi Martinez, things have changed back to all things are back on — and quickly, too. As Aston Villa have taken full advantage of things falling apart between Zion Suzuki and Paris Saint-Germain […]
Prose, not poetry: What a 30-year-old Trapattoni textbook still has to say about the modern game
I just finished “Coaching High Performance Soccer,” Giovanni Trapattoni’s coaching text from the late 1990s, and something about it kept nagging at me the whole way through: this book is nearly 30 years old, and I don’t think it’s dated the way you’d expect a tactical text from that era to be dated. Not because […]
Reports: Juventus contact Emi Martinez again after Aston Villa make move for Zion Suzuki
The goalkeeper situation at Juventus has no end in sight, and Saturday brought another twist in the saga that seems to see something completely unexpected happen every couple of days lately. You thought Zion Suzuki was going to Paris Saint-Germain? Ha, think again! All of this has kicked off another potential instance of the goalkeeper […]
As Juventus’ goalkeeper search remains unresolved, should they just give Mattia Perin a chance?
Eight days separate us from today and Juventus’ season opener. And as things stand now, we don’t know for sure who Juve’s starting goalkeeper is going to be. For a club that used to never have to worry about who is starting in goal for so long, that is very much not a situation we’re […]
Report: ‘Everything is on hold’ as Juventus shift focus to Vicario after Suzuki loan deal fades away
We are entering the final weekend of there being no calcio ahead of the 2026-27 season kicking off next week. And just nine days away from Juventus beginning the new campaign against Frosinone, their goalkeeper situation is very much just as unsettled as it was — and likely much more now! — than it was […]
Reports: Juventus close deal with Bologna for Jhon Lucumí
Wednesday brought us the news that Juventus were, at long last, close to finalizing a deal that would bring Colombian center back Jhon Lucumí to Turin. Twenty-four hours later, the deal that was almost there has now apparently crossed the finish line with everything being agreed upon. Juventus might not have a Colombian named Juan […]
Juventus’ rumored loan move for PSG-bound Zion Suzuki looks to be in jeopardy of not happening
And this is why Juventus should have never left their goalkeeper situation remain unsettled just a week before the new Serie A season is set to kick off, boys and girls. I say that because, as things stand now, Juventus’ rumored move for the Paris Saint-Germain-bound Zion Suzuki looks less and less likely to actually […]
Kerim Alajbegović on his big summer move: It was ‘impossible to say no’ to Juventus
Kerim Alajbegović has had quite an eventful time since he signed with Juventus during the first weekend of August. That is not due to anything bad, but mostly because he arrived in Turin for his medical, signed his contract and then immediately hoped on a plane with his new teammates for a summer tour through […]
Reports: Juventus finalizing deal for Bologna’s Jhon Lucumí
Another transfer chase that has lasted much of the summer looks like it’s about to hit its conclusion. OK, so nowhere nearly as close to the drama when it came to Juventus’ long-awaited signing of Randal Kolo Muani, but the Bianconeri will soon have their much-desired South American center back to pair with their other […]
Rumor roundup: David’s suitors multiply, Lucumi edges closer to Juventus move
It’s been a busy stretch on the rumor mill, and I think this might be the most interconnected batch of stories we’ve had all summer — a lot of these moves are contingent on other moves, which are contingent on others still. So let’s get into it, starting with the striker situation that’s somehow gotten […]
Spalletti says that Douglas Luiz ‘will likely stay’ at Juventus after preseason performances
While there has been a noticeable amount of changes on a game-to-game basis during the preseason, one thing Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti has done is roll out 2024 summer signing Douglas Luiz pretty much every chance there has been. The Brazilian midfielder, considered a bust by many, has started all six of Juventus’ preseason friendlies […]
This day in Juventus history: A Supercoppa won without a coach
On this day in 2012, Juventus won one of the strangest trophies in recent club history – and did it without the manager who’d just won them the Scudetto. The backdrop: Juve had beaten Napoli to the title in 2011-12, but Napoli got their revenge in the Coppa Italia final that May, winning 2-0 to […]
Game Time Thread: Juventus vs. Palermo

STARTING LINEUP Juventus starting XI (4-2-3-1): Perin; Celik, Gatti, Koopmeiners, Cabal; McKennie, […]
The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, Episode 350: Juve’s goalkeeper situation is untenable two weeks before the season begins
We are closing in on the start of the 2026-27 season. And with that comes the realization that Juventus needs a new starting goalkeeper more than ever before. Yes, we probably knew it back in the spring, but it’s even more than case now. Then you throw in the fact that Juve are less than […]
Should Juventus consider a loan move for Zion Suzuki if PSG ends up signing him?
At this point, it’s well-established that Juventus have a goalkeeper problem. The equally important problem is that we don’t exactly know how they’re going to actually try and fix it. By now, they’re down to, at best, Plan C after Plan A and Plan B didn’t materialize. The first, of course, was trying to lure […]
Report: Juventus could include Juan Cabal in potential Jhon Lucumí deal with Bologna
One of the last (and arguably few) good things Juan Cabal has done in a Juventus jersey was score what proved to the game-winning goal with a rather unexpected header against Bologna in mid-December. Eight months later, that same sort of axis may well help unlock one of Juve’s long-desired transfer moves this summer. According […]
Juventus need to fix their Di Gregorio problem ASAP
The 2026-27 Serie A season starts in two weeks. As things stand right now, one of Juventus’ biggest issues entering the summer mercato still has not been resolved — and who really knows that it actually will before things kick off against Frosinone on Aug. 23. That is because Michele Di Gregorio is still on […]

Report: Juventus agree to personal terms with Jhon Lucumí
The middle of August is fast approaching, and that means the final weeks of the summer mercato are nearly upon us. For Juventus, that means trying to add the final pieces to a roster that will hopefully do more than a sixth-place finish — and with a always-shrinking time frame to try and get the […]
This week in Juve history: Ronaldo breaks the record, Juve still go out
August 7, 2020 was one of those nights that’s hard to categorize — a personal triumph wrapped inside a team collapse, both true at the same time. Juventus needed a big result against Lyon just to survive. The first leg of this round of 16 tie felt like it happened in a different era at […]
