Antonio Conte Masih Inginkan Pemain Baru
Pelatih Juventus Antonio Conte mengungkapkan masih ada sejumlah transfer yang akan dibereskan.

Setelah mendatangkan Mauricio Isla, Kwadwo Asamoah, Lucio, Sebastian Giovinco, Paul Pogba dan Martin Caceres, Antonio Conte masih berencana untuk mendatangkan pemain baru lagi musim panas ini.

"Saya senang dengan pemain yang sudah bergabung bersama kami," kata Conte, Kamis (19/7).

"Ada harmoni yang sempurna di skuat, tapi masih ada beberapa hal yang harus dituntaskan," paparnya.

Conte sepertinya ingin mendatangkan pemain baru khusus untuk lini depan skuatnya. Sejumlah pemain sudah masuk dalam bidikan Juventus.

Dari beberapa nama yang ada, Robin Van Persie dan Gonzalo Higuain menjadi pemain yang paling sering disebut-sebut akan ditarik ke Juventus Arena dalam waktu dekat.

AC Milan eye Matri as possible Ibrahimovic replacement
The Rossoneri's budget may mean that the Juventus striker could be targeted to replace the free-scoring Swede after his move to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday

Juventus striker Alessandro Matri is emerging at the top of AC Milan's summer transfer wishlist, as they look to fill the attacking void left by Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Gazzetta dello Sport reports.

The Rossoneri's CEO stated on Wednesday that the San Siro side will replace the Swedish star - whose 28 goals saw him top the scoring charts in Italy last term - with a "champion".

Matri would fit the bill in a literal sense, having collected a Serie A winner's medal last term, but spent chunks of the past campaign on the bench.

However, the publication understands that Galliani regards high-profile names in Europe, such as Manchester City's Edin Dzeko and Carlos Tevez, as too expensive, and is instead looking at the more affordable Matri.

Although the 27-year-old has not always been a starter for the Bianconeri, he still scored 10 goals in 31 appearances in 2011-12 after securing an �18 million transfer from Cagliari last summer following a successful loan spell.

One other option Massimiliano Allegri's side are believed to be considering is Brazilian striker Leandro Damiao, whose agent was reportedly in Milan on Wednesday.

The striker has earned nine caps for Brazil and will be in the shop window this summer, as he is set to play for his country at the Olympics.

Marco Motta Segera Berlabuh Di Bologna
Bologna menyepakati transfer peminjaman Marco Motta dari Juventus selama semusim penuh ditambah opsi permanen.

Bermain sebagai personel pinjaman di Catania pada setengah akhir 2011/12, full-back milik Juventus, Marco Motta, nyaris pasti bakal menghabiskan musim kompetisi depan dengan status serupa di Bologna.

I Rossoblu, menurut kabar dari laman Football Italia, sudah menjalin kesepakatan dengan I Bianconeri terkait peminjaman pemain 26 tahun itu selama semusim penuh plus opsi pembelian permanen di akhir stagione 2012/13.
Bekas punggawa AS Roma itu dilaporkan akan melakoni uji kesehatan di Stadio Renato Dall�Ara pada hari ini. Bila tak ada kendala berarti, Motta kemudian bakal langsung diperkenalkan sebagai pemain baru Bologna.

Berseragam Juventus sejak musim panas 2010 -- mulanya dipinjam dari Udinese kemudian dibeli setahun kemudian, kans Motta untuk turun membela Si Nyonya Tua hilang seiring kedatangan Antonio Conte di awal 2011/12.

Ia sama sekali tak pernah dimainkan oleh sang allenatore hingga akhirnya dipinjamkan ke Catania pada mercato Januari kemarin.

FOKUS: SATU PEMAIN LAGI, JUVENTUS BAKAL KUASAI EROPA

Sejauh ini, Bianconeri cerdas belanja. Satu tambahan vital lagi, Juventus akan berpotensi menjuarai Eropa.

Sepanjang Februari dan Maret, Juventus -- kali pertama pada musim 2011/2012 -- mengalami ujian berat sesungguhnya. Giorgio Chiellini dan Andrea Barzagli istirahat akibat problem jangka pendek, dan La Vacchia Signora harus mengkonversi Arturo Vidal menjadi pemain belakang darurat. Orang pun bertanya-tanya apakah sedemikian serius kekuarang Bianconeri di lini belakang dalam upaya mereka meraih gelar Serie A?

Juventus melewati ujian itu dengan enam kali draw dari tujuh laga. Namun Juventus memenangkan sepuluh dari 11 laga berikut ketika skuad mereka lengkap. Mereka merampas puncak klasemen, dan meraih gelar yang telah berada di sebelah tangan AC Milan.

Langkah berikut adalah memenangkan kejuaraan Eropa. Antonio Conte, dan seluruh hirarki klub, tampaknya telah berada di jalur yang benar dalam upaya memperkuat klub untuk membuat Bianconeri layak menjuarai Liga Champions 2012/2013.

Musim lalu, mereka memiliki Simone Padoin, Marco Borriello, dan striker gaek Alessandro Del Piero sebagai alternatif pertama ketika satu atau dua pemain inti terkena cedera atau larangan berlaga. Musim depan, mereka memiliki banyak pemain berkualitas dan kuat di bangku cadangan.

Pembelian Kwadwo Asamoah dan Mauricio Isla dari Udinese merupakan langkah maju bagi klub. Isla memperlihatkan form fantastik dan fleksibilitasnya di sisi kanan atau di lapangan tengah selama bersama Udinese. Asamoah adalah salah satu pemain paling mengesankan selama beberapa tahun terakhir di Serie A.

Asamoah, pemain asal Ghana, menjadi mesin penggerak Udinese saat Zebrete lolos ke play-off Liga Champions dalam dua musim berturutan. Francesco Guidolin sadar bukan Gokhan Inler yang menjadi pemain kunci Udinese musim 2010/2011, tapi Asamoah. Performa luar biasa Asamoah membantu Udinese finish di urutan ketiga. Daya tahan, sikapnya yang dingin saat melepas tembakan, dan ketepatan waktu saat menerima umpan di jantung pertahanan lawan, membuat Udinese menjadi tim sulit dikalahkan.

Asamoah layak berada di starting XI Juventus sejak pekan pertama musim depan, kecuali jika dia membutuhkan waktu adaptasi. Tidak ada alasan Asamoah tidak bisa bersaing dengan yang lain, kendati Claudio Marchisio -- yang bermain 36 kali bersama Andrea Pirlo -- dan Arturo Vidal masih diunggulkan untuk menjadi starter.

Kenyataannya adalah salah satu dari Asamoah dan Marchisio akan duduk di bangku cadangan di beberapa bagian musim, jika kita melihat skuad Conte secara keseluruhan secara lebih seksama. Kedatangan Lucio dari Internazionale dan pengubahan status Martin Caceres dari pemain pinjaman menjadi permanen, membuat lini belakang lebih berkualitas.

Lupakan kedatangan kembali Sebastian Giovinco dari Parma. Juventus relatif telah menangani sejumlah isu. Mungkin, yang masih harus diperhatikan adalah punta prima -- leading man dalam skema permainan menyerang.

Musim lalu, Juventus kesulitan mencetak gol di saat-saat penting, kendati barisan gelandangnya menciptakan banyak peluang. Sejauh ini, Juventus masih mencari striker yang mampu mengkonversi sebanyak mungkin umpan menjadi gol.

Mereka memiliki Alessandro Matri, Mirko Vucinuc, Fabio Quagliarella, Borriello, dan Vicenzo Iaquinta, tapi semuanya tidak memenuhi harapan. Mereka banyak membuang peluang, dan membuat fans sering jengkel. Jika ingin memiliki harapan menjuarai Liga Champions, Juventus harus mencari striker berkelas dunia.

Striker yang mampu mencetak gol dapat membuat perubahan. Juventus membutuhkan pencetak gol, yang kerap menjadi pahlawan. Jika memiliki striker yang mampu memproduksi 20 samai 30 gol dalam satu musim, Juventus akan lebih diperhitungkan. Jika tidak, mereka bisa dikatakan gagal.

Edinson Cavani dan Neymar kerap dikaitkan dengan Juventus. Sedangkan Mario Balotelli dan Robin van Persie mungkin telah dilupakan. Siapa pun datang, Cavani atau Neymar, akan memberikan tambahan kekuatan bagi Bianconeri.

Jadi, jika Juventus mampu memberikan satu tambahan kualitas di skuat-nya, ada alasan bagi siapa pun untuk percaya bahwa Juventus akan menjadi menimbulkan gelombang besar di Liga Champions.

Juventus locked in negotiations with Udinese over Armero

The champions are not done on the transfer market just yet as they have now set their sights on landing a third Zebrette player this summer in the form of the Colombian left-back

Pablo Armero could be on his way out of Udinese this summer as Juventus have approached the Friuliani over a potential transfer,

The Old Lady are keen to reinforce the left side of their squad ahead of the 2012-13 campaign, and they believe the 25-year-old fits the bill, having already brought in former team-mate Mauricio Isla for the other flank.

Juventus have already opened talks with Udinese and have proposed a one-year loan deal, with the option to make the move permanent at the end of the season.

Nevertheless, the Udine side have no intention of letting Armero leave on loan, and have told Juve that it would take an offer in the region of �12 million to lure the Colombia international away from his current club.

The Serie A champions are reluctant to invest heavily on Armero, though, and are hopeful that Udinese will accept a co-ownership deal instead.

However, Juventus are keen to offload Reto Ziegler first in order to generate funds, before returning with another offer for Armero.

The versatile Colombia international would be the third player to leave Udinese for the Old Lady this summer following the previous departures of Mauricio Isla and Kwadwo Asamoah.

De Ceglie: Juventus for life

Paolo De Ceglie has outlined his desire to stay with Italian giants Juventus for the rest of his footballing life.

The 25-year-old is a product of the club�s youth system and has spent his career to date with the Old Lady, apart from a loan spell at Siena in 2007-08.

�Staying with Juventus for life is certainly what I am hoping for,� the left-back stated from the outfit�s pre-season retreat.

�I have always supported this club and I want to play for them from now until the end. I�m proud to be able to wear the shirt of my boyhood team.�

Juventus won the title last season and can lift more silverware on August 11 when they take on Napoli in the Italian Super Cup Final.

�We�ve got a host of friendlies ahead of the Super Cup game and we�ll look to face them as if they were Finals in order to be fully prepared for Napoli.�

Juve�s summer fixtures include games against Hertha Berlin, Benfica and Malaga.

De Ceglie also responded to a question regarding why his �relationship� with Demi Moore broke down.

�It just wasn�t working out,� joked the Ashton Kutcher look-a-like. �She lived too far away so we decided to call it a day��

Juve�s Leali looking for loan

he agent of Nicola Leali has admitted that his client will not remain in Turin following his move to Juventus.

The goalkeeper, 19, joined the Bianconeri in a �3.8m transfer from Brescia at the start of this month, but he�s set for an immediate loan switch.

Given that the Old Lady have Gigi Buffon and Marco Storari on their books, Leali will be offered no playing time with La Signora in 2012-13.

�Leali�s priority right now is to go and gain experience elsewhere so he can continue to grow,� representative Graziano Battistini noted.

�Crotone? That could be a plausible solution. They are a club who have allowed youngsters to work well over recent seasons.�

Marotta: "30 million for Jovetic? intractable "

The at Juve: "It does not talk about it. Van Persie? We must always have dreams and ambitions "

"It is a figure intractable, for now do not talk about," he explained to the Juventus Beppe Marotta. But Juventus has 30 million for Jovetic? "Good question. Everyone - Marotta said - is free to determine the price you want, is a legitimate right, but we never entablature a deal with Fiorentina."

"You always have dreams and ambitions, then - noted for the Bianconeri Beppe Marotta at the conclusion of the League first division - they must also contend with the reality of everyday facts. Calmly, we know what to do and this is the most important thing. "

Werder Bremen open talks with Juventus starlet Gouano
The young stopper is being tipped to follow Eljero Elia out of Turin to the Weserstadion, having been identified as the man to replace Naldo if, as expected, he joins Wolfsburg



Werder Bremen general manager Klaus Allofs has revealed that the club are keen to sign Juventus defender Prince-Desir Gouano and have entered discussions with the France Under-19 international.
Don't Miss

The 18-year-old Bianconeri centre-back was photographed in Bremen on Sunday and a deal seems set to be agreed between the two sides once Naldo's exit to Wolfsburg is finalised, despite problems with his medical on Wednesday.

Allofs has already conducted business with Juventus this summer, bringing in Dutch winger Eljero Elia for �5.5 million, and has now confirmed Bremen's interest in Gouano.

"We have met and talked," Allofs confirmed to Bild.

"As part of the Eljero transfer, we asked Juve about the possibility of signing Gouano. Now we have spoken with the player."

It is unclear, as yet, whether any move for Gouano, who joined Juve from Le Havre last May, would be on a permanent or loan basis.

Juve still trying for RVP

Turin giants remain keen on Arsenal's Dutch ace



Juventus general director Giuseppe Marotta admits they know what they need to do to land Robin van Persie.

Sky Sports revealed earlier this month that Juve are leading the chase for the Arsenal captain, who is also wanted by Manchester City and Manchester United.
The Gunners have received offers for the Dutchman, who has confirmed that he has no desire to extend his current deal which has one year left to run.

Van Persie is understood to be considering his options with a move to Turin firmly in his thinking.

And Marotta admits that they are trying to seal a move which they consider a "fans' dream".

"Van Persie is a fans' dream," Marotta said.

"Everyone has dreams but then you have to confront this with the reality.

"We know what we have to do, and that is the important thing."

Jovetic

Should their bid for Van Persie fail, then Juve are also keen on Fiorentina ace Stevan Jovetic.

But they seem insistent that they will not pay the �30milion fee that the Florence outfit are demanding for the Montenegro international.

"Fiorentina want �30million for Jovetic. Everyone is free to determine the price they want for a player - but we have not begun any talks with Fiorentina," he added.
