Juventus earned over 100m from sale of Next Gen players
Nicolò Fagioli was the latest player of the Juventus academy to leave the club, and Gazzetta reports that the Bianconeri have earned over €100m from the sales of NextGen players in the last two transfer windows.
The Italy international joined Fiorentina on the deadline day. The Tuscans paid €2.5m for the player's loan until the end of the season and have an obligation to buy for €13.5m plus €3m add-ons.
Fagioli was only the latest product of the Juventus academy to leave the club over the last seven months.
As reported by Gazzetta, the Old Lady earned €103m from the sales of NextGen players during the last two transfer windows: summer 2024 and January 2025.
The highest income came from Matias Soulé's move to Roma for €25.6m last summer, but the list also includes Dean Huijsen, who joined Bournemouth for €15.2m plus add-ons and a sell-on clause, Enzo Barrenechea and Samuel Iling Junior, who signed for Aston Villa in the summer for a combined €22m fee.
Kaio Jorge, Koni De Winter and Hans Nicolussi Caviglia are other former Juventus NextGen players who left Turin at the start of the current campaign.
Juventus was the first Serie A club to establish a second squad – the Juventus NextGen – to play in Italy's third division, Serie C. This allowed young footballers to play in a professional league rather than Primavera and be more prepared for first-team football.

Gasperini takes over from Ranieri at Roma after successful run at Atalanta
ROME (AP) — Gian Piero Gasperini was named Roma's new coach on Friday, taking over for the retiring Claudio Ranieri following his own successful run at Atalanta. 'I need a significant challenge,' Gasperini said in an interview released by Roma. 'I really believe all the conditions are in place to do good work.' Advertisement He signed a three-year deal for the club owned by Texas-based businessman Dan Friedkin. In nine seasons at Atalanta, Gasperini guided the Bergamo club to a Europa League triumph in 2024, six top-four finishes in Serie A, and a Champions League quarterfinal. The 73-year-old Ranieri was hired in November when Roma was struggling in 12th place, and his contract specified he would take on an advisor role after the season. Rainieri guided Roma to a fifth-place finish as the Giallorossi lost just once during the second half of the season, and was involved in selecting the 67-year-old Gasperini, who is known for his free-flowing attacking tactics. Roma will return to the Europa League. Advertisement Gasperini becomes Roma's fourth coach in the 1 1/2 years since Jose Mourinho was fired, following Daniele De Rossi, Ivan Juric and Ranieri. The only other time Gasperini coached a big Italian club came in 2011 when he lasted just five winless matches at Inter Milan. Gasperini had one season remaining on his contract with Atalanta but announced on Saturday in an open letter published in Bergamo's newspaper to fans that he was leaving. 'Let's not call it a goodbye,' Gasperini wrote in L'Eco di Bergamo. 'I'm ending my term at Bergamo as coach of Atalanta. But everything else will remain unchanged.' In the five seasons since American owner Friedkin took over the club, Roma's only trophy has been the 2022 Conference League. Advertisement Roma has been trying unsuccessfully to build a new stadium for more than a decade. Atalanta did not immediately announce a replacement for Gasperini, with Thiago Motta and Stefano Pioli considered the top contenders for the job. Speculation has also focused on Juric. ___ AP soccer: Andrew Dampf, The Associated Press

In nine seasons at Atalanta, Gasperini guided the Bergamo club to a Europa League triumph in 2024, six top-four finishes in Serie A, and a Champions League quarterfinal. In Bergamo, Ivan Juric was named Atalanta's new coach and given a two-season contract. Juric lasted less than three months as Roma's coach after replacing Daniele De Rossi in September and then coached Southampton, which was relegated from the Premier League. He's a former Gasperini assistant. The 73-year-old Ranieri was hired in November when Roma was struggling in 12th place, and his contract specified he would take on an advisor role after the season.

Federico Chiesa insists he is at happy at Liverpool despite frustrating season
Federico Chiesa insists he would be happy to stay at Liverpool despite a frustrating first season at the club. The Italian forward moved to Merseyside from Juventus in a £10million deal last summer but found first-team opportunities limited. He scored two goals in 14 appearances and made just one Premier League start in the penultimate game of the season, when the title was already won. Advertisement Chiesa, 27, was used as the sixth-choice attacking option by Liverpool head coach Arne Slot, with the club planning to bolster their forward line this summer. Despite that, Chiesa believes there will be an opportunity for him to impress next season. In an interview with Corriere dello Sport he said: 'The year is over. But it's an experience I would do again. Soon I will sit down at the table with the club, Fali (Ramadani, his agent) and my family to find the best solution. I wouldn't mind staying in Liverpool at all.' Chiesa admits he experienced 'many difficulties' when he first arrived at Anfield, including injury issues that restricted his availability shortly after joining. In the interview, he referenced the difficulty of trying to dislodge the Premier league's top goalscorer, Mohamed Salah, and break into a side in top form. 'In the autumn Liverpool were going three times as fast as the others, an incredible intensity,' he said. 'At the beginning I felt the frustration… The desire to play was there, I put it aside, I understood the situation.' Chiesa added that Slot has always been respectful and played down suggestions that a move to Napoli — or any other Italian club — is close, despite reports linking him with a return to Serie A. 'I read that they placed me everywhere, but I had no direct contact with anyone,' he said. Liverpool have already signed Jeremie Frimpong and are in discussions to bring in Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen. (Robbie Jay Barratt – AMA/Getty Images)
