Juventus latest on Douglas Luiz, Weah and Vlahovic departures
Juventus continue to work on three major sales but each comes with its own unique obstacles to overcome. Douglas Luiz, Timothy Weah and Dusan Vlahovic are all in talks to leave the club and have been considered dispensable by the Bianconeri leadership. Luiz has interest from the Premier League, Weah is stuck between Juventus and Marseille and Vlahovic is in danger of being left on the fringes of the squad if he does not secure a departure. LEWISBURG, WEST VIRGINIA – JUNE 14: Douglas Luiz #26 of Juventus arrives at the airport prior to the official FIFA Club World Cup 2025 on June 14, 2025 in Lewisburg, West Virginia. (Photo by) Premier League beckons for Douglas Luiz as agents meet with Juventus A whole host of Premier League clubs have been linked with a move for Douglas Luiz. We covered reports this morning that claimed the Brazilian's agents are set to meet in a crucial meeting with Juventus, as Everton, West Ham, Nottingham Forest and Manchester United have all been mentioned as potential suitors. Other reports from Italy suggest that the 27-year-old would prefer a move to a top club, with the implication that a team playing in European football would be ideal. Weah agent slams Juventus director as Marseille move stalls Badou Sambague, the agent of Timothy Weah, accused one Juventus director of 'creating problems' whilst the other two 'work on solutions.' INGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA – MARCH 23: Timothy Weah #21 of the United States looks on against Canada during the first half of the CONCACAF Nations League third-place match at SoFi Stadium on March 23, 2025 in Inglewood, California. (Photo by) Reports last week suggested that the current stumbling block was the difference between the Bianconeri's demands and what Marseille were prepared to offer. Juventus are standing firm on their demands of €20 million for the American forward, whilst Roberto De Zerbi's Marseille are only prepared to pay €15 million at a maximum. Therefore, patience will likely be key in the deal as the two clubs, and the player and his increasingly frustrated agent, wait to see who will be first to budge. Milan favourites to sign Vlahovic as saga unfolds Dusan Vlahovic has been placed up for sale for Juventus. After signing for the Bianconeri in January 2022, for €70 million plus €10 million in bonuses, the Serbian forward has failed to truly dazzle in Turin. ORLANDO, FLORIDA – JUNE 26: Dusan Vlahovic #9 of Juventus FC during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 group G match between Juventus FC and Manchester City FC at Camping World Stadium on June 26, 2025 in Orlando, Florida. (Photo by) Milan have emerged as favourites to sign the player and last week reports claimed the player's agent was set to meet with Juventus and the Rossoneri in key talks. The striker himself added further fuel to the fire after Milan's 4-2 friendly victory over Premier League champions Liverpool. Vlahovic liked an Instagram post from Rossoneri forward Rafael Leao, before quickly removing said like. Of course, this likely means nothing and could have been as much as a simple mistake but that didn't stop speculation growing out of the incident.

Pjanic tells Juventus to sign Newcastle star this summer
Former Juventus star Miralem Pjanic feels the Old Lady should sign Sandro Tonali to strengthen their midfield: 'He's just what they need.' Ex-Juventus midfielder Pjanic tells his former club to sign Italy international Tonali this summer. The Bianconeri have been looking for midfield reinforcement for weeks, regardless of the latest issues with Douglas Luiz. Tonali was linked with a move to Juventus before the end of the season, when Cristiano Giuntoli was still the Bianconeri director. Pjanic tells Juventus to sign Tonali from Newcastle NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, ENGLAND – MAY 11: Sandro Tonali of Newcastle United celebrates scoring his team's first goal as he blows a kiss to the fans during the Premier League match between Newcastle United FC and Chelsea FC at St James' Park on May 11, 2025 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. (Photo by) Now, Damien Comolli has taken over at the Allianz Stadium, but Pjanic believes Juventus should still go for Tonali. 'I would sign Tonali; someone like him is worth the effort. He's Italian and has great potential,' Pjanic told Gazzetta. 'He won with Milan and has continued to improve in England. He's humble, strong, and with a touch of quality: what Juventus need.' Juventus have made several key changes within the club, hiring François Modesto as the new technical director and promoting Giorgio Chiellini to a more prominent role. Pjanic opens up about Chiellini and Allegri Massimiliano Allegri prior to the pre-season friendly between Milan and Arsenal in Singapore on July 23, 2025 (picture via: 'I always have Juventus in my heart, and I'm happy to see Giorgio at the club – someone who brings stability and a sense of belonging, appreciated by players and fans alike,' said Pjanic, a former Juventus teammate of Chiellini. 'Chiello loves Juventus. He knows the history and the locker room; he will be incredibly valuable.' Pjanic played 135 games under Massimiliano Allegri at Juventus, more than under any other coach. The Italian has now been appointed as the new Milan boss, so what does Pjanic expect from the Rossoneri? 'I often talk to Max, we had wonderful years together at Juventus,' the ex-Juventus and Roma midfielder replied. 'He's a friend and it's great to see him in Milan. He and Conte are the best in Italy, the most successful. Few handle the pressure like Allegri. Milan are aiming to finish in the top four, but when you have somebody like Max on the bench, it's normal to expect even more.'
