Juventus winger Francisco Conceição suffered an injury scare during the warm-up of the Italian Super Cup match against Milan. Fortunately, medical evaluations ruled out any serious injury, confirming that he only experienced an overload in the flexor of his right leg. Despite the good news, his availability for Saturday’s Turin derby remains uncertain, with the club monitoring his condition on a day-to-day basis.
A growing storm is brewing around Dusan Vlahović, with both fans and journalists criticizing the Serbian forward for failing to capitalize on key goal-scoring opportunities and not contributing enough to team play. The frustration has led to speculation about his future at Juventus.
According to Nicolò Schira, a well-known transfer market expert, Juventus may be considering offers for Vlahović: “Dusan Vlahović is no longer unsellable for Juventus. At the moment, there is no agreement for the renewal of his contract, which expires in 2026. In the coming months, Juve will consider offers for the striker.”
Rumors suggest that the sale of Vlahović could pave the way for a move to sign Joshua Zirkzee, with coach Thiago Motta reportedly pushing for the transfer. Whether Juventus will proceed with this drastic change remains to be seen, but the situation around Vlahović is certainly tense.
Legendary Juventus and Italy midfielder Marco Tardelli shared his critical views on Thiago Motta’s coaching decisions during a recent appearance on Rai, particularly highlighting tactical mistakes and poor squad management.
Tardelli’s comments focused on the numerous draws Juventus has suffered under Motta:
“Many draws come from mistakes by the coach. I think Thiago Motta should forget that teams are only built with the ideas of the coaches. If you don’t have the players, you can’t make or build them. You need players.”
Despite defending Vlahović, Tardelli admitted that the striker is not performing at his best but remains Juventus’s most reliable option up front:
“Vlahović, even though he’s not shining at the moment, is still the one who does it best of all.”
