Spalletti pressure mounts, Silva targeted

Spalletti under fire at Continassa

The mood is dark at the training ground. Juventus management were visibly concerned pitchside alongside Spalletti this week (3), and the coach is being blamed for the team's collapse this season. The shift in tone is brutal — from "winning is the only thing that counts" to "thank goodness for Europe" sums up how far standards have dropped (4). Chiellini didn't sugarcoat it either: "A no-good Sunday, we take it day by day and we'll finish the season" (6).

António Silva on your radar

Juventus are pursuing Benfica's young centre-back António Silva as a potential defensive reinforcement (1). No bid has been submitted yet, but the interest is concrete. At 21, he fits the profile of a long-term investment for the backline.

Koopmeiners could be on his way out

Teun Koopmeiners may leave Juventus this summer, with Liverpool and other Premier League clubs circling (5). After just one season in Turin, the Dutch international could be moved on as the club reshapes the squad.

Gabriel Jesus linked, Bernardo Silva dream fading

Arsenal are open to selling Gabriel Jesus, and Juventus are among the interested clubs alongside AC Milan — the Brazilian is valued at £30 million (7). Meanwhile, without Champions League qualification, any move for Bernardo Silva looks increasingly impossible (2).
