Alisson wants Juventus
This is the one that will have the group chats buzzing. Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson wants a move to Juventus, according to Monday's gossip roundup (6). The Brazilian is one of the best in the world, and a move of this size would be a statement signing. Nothing is confirmed yet, and competition from other clubs is always a factor, but Alisson pushing for the switch is the key detail here.
Douglas Luiz is coming back
Aston Villa have told Juventus they will not exercise their option to buy Douglas Luiz (2). The midfielder returns to Turin this summer after his loan spell. It's a squad-planning headache. Motta and the board now need to decide whether to reintegrate him or find a new destination before the window closes.
Tardelli: Vlahovic must take a pay cut
Juventus legend Marco Tardelli has not held back. He says Dusan Vlahovic owes the club and should accept a salary reduction (3). Those contract talks have been stuck on the same issue for months. Hearing a club icon go public like this cranks up the pressure on your striker.
Spalletti wants Emerson Palmieri
Luciano Spalletti is pushing Juventus to sign West Ham left-back Emerson Palmieri, a player he knows well from previous work together (5). A reunion with a trusted pupil could give your defense some needed depth.
Federico Spalletti leaves the club
Federico Spalletti, Luciano's son, is leaving Juventus to join another Serie A side (4). Not a first-team story, but it underlines the shifting pieces around the coaching staff this summer.
Kaio Jorge: no deal yet
Former Juve striker Kaio Jorge was left out of Cruzeiro's squad against Fluminense due to a physical issue, not a transfer clause trigger (1). Cruzeiro manager Artur Jorge shut down speculation: "Nothing to do with match limits, it's a physical problem." A €30m offer would start negotiations, but nothing has arrived.
