Beşiktaş line up triple Juventus raid
Beşiktaş are targeting three Juventus outcasts, according to reports from Turkey (2). Arthur Melo, Douglas Luiz, and goalkeeper Di Gregorio are all on the Istanbul club's radar.
Arthur and Douglas Luiz in particular need moves. Luiz's loan at Nottingham Forest was cut short last season and Aston Villa passed on making it permanent. He's back in Turin with no future under Thiago Motta. A Turkish switch could suit all parties.
Di Gregorio's situation is less urgent, but the club will listen to offers. With Damien Comolli now gone as director, the new leadership structure has plenty to sort through.
Selling fringe players matters. Yours is a squad carrying wages for men who aren't playing, and every euro freed up helps with the bigger puzzle: keeping Kenan Yildiz beyond the summer after Arsenal's €100 million approach.
Key fixtures drop for 2026–27
The Serie A schedule is out and Matchday 3 is the one to circle: Juventus host AC Milan in the first heavyweight clash of the campaign (1).
Alexis Saelemaekers faces his former club. Kenan Yildiz gets an early chance to shine on a big stage. Other fixtures worth noting: newly promoted Frosinone away and Parma at home.
The full calendar lands at a curious moment. The squad is in flux, Dusan Vlahovic's contract talks have reopened under new leadership, and Thiago Motta needs to know who's staying and who's going before the real work begins.
