Luciano Spalletti said that Juventus players need to look at themselves after Gleison Bremer criticised his teammates for not showing enough character in Sunday's 3-0 Serie A defeat against Lazio, but says that he will be doing the same of himself: 'I need to ask myself questions and find the answers'.
The tension is palpable in Juventus circles following Sunday's 3-0 defeat at home against Lazio, which has left the Bianconeri eight points off the league leaders after just seven matches. They are currently worse off in terms of points than they were at the same stage of the 2025-26 season, just before Igor Tudor was dismissed from his position as head coach.

It was a miserable evening for Juventus supporters, some of whom turned on each other and began fighting in the stands. They were heavily criticised in Monday morning's newspapers and defender Bremer also chastised his teammates, claiming 'I can't carry everyone'.
"It is true, the coach gives indications, but we are the ones who need to put it into action on the field," said the Juventus defender after full-time on Sunday.

The Men's First Team are back in UEFA Europa League action, this time taking on French side Rennes on Matchday 3 of the League Phase.
The Bianconeri have performed well in the Europa League so far, beating NEC 5-0 and Celta Vigo 2-1. Luciano Spalletti's side will now hope to add another three points to their tally.
Rennes have also made a positive start, drawing 0-0 with Sturm Graz before beating OFI 2-1 on Matchday 2. Ahead of Thursday night's action, let's take a look at the last time Juventus beat Rennes.

Lazio stunned Juventus with a 3-0 victory at the Allianz Stadium yesterday, exposing the work still required for the Bianconeri to find consistency. The defeat was a major setback for Juventus, who had hoped to build on their late victory against Celta Vigo and deliver another strong performance in front of their home supporters.
Juventus were expected to be the stronger side after their European success, but they struggled to maintain their momentum. Without Luciano Spalletti on the touchline to direct the team, the Bianconeri found it difficult to control the contest and prevent Lazio from taking advantage of their opportunities.
Unlike in some of their recent matches, Juventus began with plenty of energy and intent. However, Lazio matched their intensity, making the opening stages an open and frantic contest in which both teams looked capable of creating danger.
Randal Kolo Muani appeared to have given Juventus the lead when he found the net, but his effort was ruled out for offside. Lazio then took their opportunity through Oliver Provstgaard, whose goal stood and put the visitors ahead.
Juventus gradually lost their momentum as the first half progressed, allowing Lazio to take greater control of the match. The home side struggled to regain the initiative, leaving them with plenty to address at the interval as they searched for a way back into the contest.

Juventus were soundly beaten in an embarrassing 3-0 victory at home against Lazio on Sunday evening, and to make matters worse for the Bianconeri, Francisco Conceicao is now looking at up to a month on the sidelines as the club fear he has suffered a dislocated shoulder.
Goals from Oliver Provstgaard, Gustav Isaksen and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru gave Lazio a 3-0 victory away against Juventus at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday night, which has sent Gennaro Gattuso's side back to the top of the Serie A standings along with Inter, while the Bianconeri sit eight points off the lead after seven league games in 2026-27.

This result leaves Juventus in a worse position after seven matches of the 2026-27 season than they were at the same stage last year, just before previous head coach Igor Tudor was given his marching orders.
To make matters worse, the club are concerned that Conceicao has dislocated his shoulder, according to Monday's reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport.

After his team's first loss of the 2026-27 season last month, Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti received a fair bit of heat for how the Bianconeri totally lost its balance against Sassuolo. After their second loss of the season, Sunday's 3-0 defeat at the hand of surprise package Lazio at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, the heat has seemingly been turned up to a degree in which Spalletti hasn't seen since the final weeks of the 2025-26 campaign when Champions League qualification was slipping away.
And it sounds like, in some ways, Spalletti could see a little bit of the writing on the wall.
Amongst the many critiques that Spalletti — who was suspended for Sunday's loss as a result of his red card last weekend against Cagliari — had of his team's performance during his post-game media responsibilities, It was an answer to his current relationship with the team that raised plenty of eyebrows. Spalletti responded to the question "Until yesterday, I thought I could say yes, then today I probably don't know …" — something that will surely fuel speculation about just how much longer he might have on the Juventus sideline if his team continues to play the way they did against Lazio on Sunday night.
The quote, via multiple outlets, in English is as follows:
"If instead of improving we get worse, I have to do in-depth ****** ysis, especially on myself. Does the team still follow me? Until yesterday, I thought I could say yes, then today I probably don't know. I have a good relationship with them, I always want to share, that's how I am."

After their late loss to Sassuolo last night, it is becoming increasingly difficult to see Juventus finishing inside the top four at the end of this season, according to pundit Roberto Pavanello.
The Bianconeri have been one of the top teams in the world for several decades and have done well to maintain that status, but since they last won the league ******* le in 2020, they have been far from achieving that feat again.
One thing Juventus have consistently managed to do is secure Champions League football, but last season they failed to achieve that. Many believed their failure was linked to the quality of their squad and the fact that Luciano Spalletti did not start the season as their manager.
He has now been given a new deal for another season and was their coach during pre-season, yet Juventus cannot beat Sassuolo in their fourth league game of the season.
It is certainly too early for the team to be struggling as much as it is at the moment, but their poor start has already created doubts about what they can achieve this season.

Yves Bissouma is one of several midfield free agents who could contribute to Juventus' success this season, with the midfielder now available for a transfer this summer.
The Bianconeri have a void in midfield and will be doing their best to ensure they fill it with a good player in the coming weeks, but finding the right option is proving difficult at the moment.
They do not want to sign just any player and may be forced to enter the market for more than one midfielder if they suffer another injury in that position.
Juve are an outstanding team, but no side can survive too many injuries, and they are now considering adding Bissouma to their squad as he searches for his next club.
Tottenham released him at the end of last season, and he is being tipped to move to Serie A, where Lazio are also interested in adding him to their squad.

Manchester United have struggled to keep out goals this season after opting against reinforcing their backline over the summer. The Red Devils have already conceded six goals in their opening three Premier League games.
The English giants are likely to consider defensive reinforcements in 2027 after concentrating almost entirely on the midfield this summer. A new centre-back could be on the agenda, with Harry Maguire no longer young and Matthijs de Ligt sidelined since last December.
A previous report relayed by The Peoples Person has named Juventus defender Pierre Kalulu as a solution to United's defensive woes. The Frenchman is coming off a solid 2025/26 campaign, during which he registered two goals and seven **** ists in 49 appearances.
Kalulu has featured at centre-back as well as right-back for the Bianconeri so far and his versatility makes him a lucrative option for the Red Devils. An update on the situation has now emerged that will delight United fans.

Davide Frattesi has long wanted to play for Juventus, and the midfielder was keen to join the Bianconeri during the last transfer window. He was reportedly willing to wait for the club to make a formal approach, hoping the move to the Allianz Stadium would eventually materialise.
Frattesi had previously rejected Juventus when he was playing for Sassuolo, but he was ready to make amends and believed the opportunity to join the Turin giants was one worth pursuing. Luciano Spalletti had also become one of the best managers he had worked with, adding another important factor to the situation.
Juventus had made enquiries about Frattesi and appeared interested in bringing him to the club. The midfielder was prepared to wait for them to make their move, while Inter Milan were also open to allowing him to leave during that transfer window.
However, the Bianconeri ultimately failed to follow up on their initial interest with a formal attempt to complete the transfer. Despite Frattesi's willingness to wait for Juventus, the club did not push the situation forward, and the opportunity eventually disappeared.
Instead, Frattesi moved to Lazio, where he has enjoyed an impressive start to the season. The midfielder has quickly established himself as an important player for the Eagles and has been in outstanding scoring form.

Juventus have been linked with a move for Borussia Dortmund full-back Daniel Svensson, as the Swede continues to impress at the German club and could be allowed to leave if the right offer arrives.
Juve had a busy summer transfer window, but in the final days, they were keen to sign a new left back and hoped they could push Juan Cabal out of the squad, as he was wanted by Atalanta. However, that move never happened because Cabal's transfer did not go through.
Despite Cabal remaining at Juve, the Bianconeri continue to keep an eye on potential options for the position. Svensson has now emerged as one of the players attracting their attention, with his performances for Borussia Dortmund making him an appealing target.
The Swede has continued to shine at BVB, and his form has understandably attracted interest from other clubs. Juventus are now considering whether he could be the right player to strengthen their options at left back, although any potential deal would require a significant financial commitment.

Franck Kessie was widely expected to move to Juventus this summer as a free agent, and he tried his best to make the transfer happen. The midfielder waited patiently for Juve to offload some players and make a move for him, believing the opportunity to join the Bianconeri was within reach.
It was a move that would have represented an exception for Juventus, as the club had previously decided against signing players who had had a spell in the Saudi Pro League. Kessie remains a top player, as he showed at the World Cup, and Juve were keen to add him to their squad during the transfer window.
Despite the interest from Juve, Kessie ultimately ended up at Atalanta. La Dea was his first club when he moved to Europe as a youngster, and he is happy to return to a familiar environment after his unsuccessful attempt to join the Bianconeri.
Kessie was reportedly close to a move to Juve before rejecting their approach. The Bianconeri had been expected to return with a better offer for his signature, but the midfielder was announced as a new Atalanta player before that could happen.

#juve #expected #transfer

Juventus had won their first two games of the season, but it would be entirely fair to say that they had come close to leaving those matches ruing missed opportunities. Each of them could've been put away long time before they were, and indeed one of the major talking points headed into Sunday's matchup against AC Milan was the fact that the Bianconeri had gotten the results without reaching the level of performance they desired. Milan were in the same boat, winning two straight under new manager Ruben Amorim but not convincing in either. It felt as though the team that managed to perform better would be the likelier to come out of the Allianz on top.
It was ultimately Juve that had the better of a game that was equal parts chaotic and sloppy. But once again they failed to take advantage of their performances. They failed to make the most of the chances they made over the game's first 70 minutes before Milan scored on — stop me if you've heard this one before — their first shot on target of the match. It took until the second minute of stoppage time for Juve to finally even things out, when Federico Gatti powered home a Teun Koopmeiners cross from six yards to earn the Old Lady a 1-1 draw.
The problems for Juventus were the same as we've talked about all season so far. The finishing wasn't nearly good enough, the passing was disjointed and often inaccurate, and overall creativity seemed to be lacking. But in spite of all of that, they can honestly say that they were the better of the two sides and deserved victory — even more so when you consider the fact that Milan's goal really should've been disallowed for a foul in the buildup that was never flagged by VAR. Considering they were missing seven players due to injury, several of whom were extremely important, it's far too early to start abandoning hope of a successful year—provided they make the improvements that their play so far suggest is possible.
Luciano Spalletti was missing Kenan Yildiz, Weston McKennie, Khéphren Thuram, Andrea Cambiaso, Jeff Ekhator, Juan Cabal, and Pape Matar Sarr. His 4-2-3-1 formation gave several players their first starts of the year. Guglielmo Vicario started behind the back four of Pierre Kalulu, Bremer, Jhon Lucumí, and Zeki Celik. Manuel Locatelli and Douglas Luiz started in the middle of the park, while Francisco Conceição joined Nico González and Kerim Alajbegovic behind Randal Kolo Muani in attack.
Amorim missed Matteo Gabbia due to an ankle injury, but returned a few players to the starting lineup who had been eased back into things after long World Cup runs. Mike Maignan started in goal, ahead of a 3-4-2-1 setup that was a slight tweak to Amorim's usual 3-4-3. Former Juve prospect Koni De Winter joined Strahinja Pavolovic and Mario Gila in defense. Big-money signing Diego Moreira got his first start of the season opposite Pervis Estupiñán at the wing-back spots, while Luka Modric and Yunis Musah manned the double pivot. Adrien Rabiot joined Alexis Saele

Jhon Lucumi wants to become one of the leaders in the Juventus dressing room after completing his move to the club from Bologna during this transfer window.
The Colombian has always wanted to wear the Juve shirt and had long dreamed of becoming one of their players. As a result, when other clubs showed interest in signing him, he was not interested in joining them.
Lucumi waited for the Bianconeri to make an offer for his signature and bring him into their squad. He has now achieved the move he wanted and will be determined to make the most of his opportunity in Turin.
The defender is expected to establish himself as one of the first names on the team sheet at Juventus. If he manages to achieve that, the Old Lady could also come to view him as an important leader within the dressing room.
Lucumi had a leadership role and influence during his time at Bologna and would like to have the same impact in Turin. However, the defender is experienced and intelligent enough to understand that leadership is something he must earn rather than simply expect.

Juventus and Italy legend Gianluigi Buffon feels the Bianconeri have 'an advantage' against Milan this evening and reveals he told Guglielmo Vicario to 'enjoy the experience' at the Allianz Stadium, after his move from Tottenham.
Juventus and Milan meet at the Allianz Stadium in Turin this evening.
Both sides have won their opening two Serie A games of the campaign and will be looking to catch Inter and Roma, who already have nine points after winning their third consecutive game yesterday against Napoli and Atalanta, respectively.

Serie A side Juventus signed Nick Woltemade on loan from Newcastle United late in the summer transfer window. While the German is yet to make his debut for the Bianconeri, big praise has come from Juve legend Gianluigi Buffon.
The Germany international has a frustrating 2025/26 campaign with the Magpies. Ex-Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe often used him deeper on the pitch and this led to a fall in prominence.
A move to Juventus is now viewed as a shot at redemption. Buffon spoke to La Gazzetta dello Sport about Juve's business in the summer and placed special emphasis on Woltemade.
The ex-keeper said: "I'm curious about Woltemade. I want to see if his physicality, his 198 centimeters (6'4") combined with excellent technique, will be as dominant as I expect."
Buffon also revealed belief that Woltemade can make the same impact as Zlatan Ibrahimovic during his younger days.

Juventus are one of the Serie A clubs representing Italy in European football this season as they compete in the Europa League after failing to finish in the top four last term. The Bianconeri will be among the biggest clubs in the competition and are expected to perform well.
Juve and AC Milan are representing the country at this level of European competition, and both clubs will be expected to make a strong impression. Many of their opponents will not be considered to be at the same level, allowing the Italian sides to go deep into the tournament.
The Bianconeri have one of the strongest squads in the Europa League this season, and they will want to make the most of their quality to win as many matches as possible. Juventus have the players required to compete for the trophy.
The men at the Allianz Stadium have what it takes to go all the way in the Europa League while also challenging for the domestic league **** le. Managing both competitions will not be easy, but the quality within the squad gives Juve reason to believe they can compete on both fronts.
Expectations are therefore rising around the Old Lady as they enter an important period of the season. Juventus know they will be expected to perform well in Europe, particularly given the strength of their squad compared with several other teams in the competition.

Jonathan David has joined Atletico Madrid on loan from Juventus, but the striker has already faced criticism from supporters of the Spanish club over his weight.
The forward was one of the players Juventus wanted to move on this summer after just one season at the club, having failed to prove that he was the right signing for the Old Lady. David wanted to remain in Turin even if his opportunities were limited, but Juventus eventually found a solution.
The Bianconeri were also fortunate to find Atletico Madrid willing to take one of their players on loan for the second summer running. Last season, the Spanish side took Nicolas Gonzalez on loan, and his spell in Spain proved successful.
Juventus will hope David can follow Gonzalez's example and produce a strong campaign in Spain. The Bianconeri would like the striker to perform well enough to earn a permanent move away from Turin, which would allow them to finally end his time at the club.
David now has an important opportunity to rebuild his reputation at Atletico. With his future at Juventus already uncertain, making an impact during his loan spell could be crucial to determining where he plays next.

Juventus have been unlucky with the fitness of their players this season, and if the current trend continues, it could become a difficult campaign for the Bianconeri.
After losing Kenan Yildiz, Jeff Ekhator and Khephren Thuram to injuries in recent weeks,Tuttosport claims Juventus will also be without Juan Cabal, who has suffered an injury.
The Colombian was expected to leave the club on deadline day, with Atalanta showing interest in his signature and Juve lining up a replacement for him. However, La Dea did not advance their interest, meaning Cabal remained with the Bianconeri.
He will now hope to win back the trust of Luciano Spalletti, although his situation had already been difficult before the injury. The manager had seemingly given up on him and was behind the club's push to offload him during this transfer window.
In the end, Cabal stayed at Juventus and would probably have received some game time as the season progressed. His continued presence in the squad could have given him an opportunity to change Spalletti's opinion and fight his way back into the manager's plans.

For the launch of the 2026/27 kits, Juventus and adidas have chosen to transform teasers, speculation and unofficial images into a fully-fledged narrative, turning the traditional logic of a reveal on its head.
This has given rise to a campaign structured as a collective investigation. The product is not simply unveiled, but gradually uncovered through clues, content and links designed to spark fans' curiosity and fuel online conversation.
Leaks, details appearing online and unexpected content thus become the pieces of a mystery to be solved. Episode by episode, the campaign engages fans, influencers and key figures from the Club in a story that blends sport, entertainment and digital language.
Evidence, documents, photographs, notes and links punctuate the journey, inviting the community to follow the trail, interpret the clues and play an active part in the investigation. Leading the investigation are Luciano Spalletti and Gianluca Gazzoli, the protagonists of a narrative that blends mystery, humour and entertainment. Through their eyes, fans are drawn into an ongoing case, following leads and piecing together the truth behind the leaks.
First, the American wrestler Je'Von Evans appeared in the WWE Raw ring in Detroit wearing the Away Kit. Next came Kenan Yildiz, who teased the release of the Third Kit on his social media channels – a kit that had already been spotted a few days earlier in Hong Kong and worn by some local content creators during the Bianconeri Stripes Party organised by adidas on 4 August. The final act then took place in Perth, at the Bianconeri's headquarters 'Casa Juventus', involving influencer Ben Black and Alessandro Del Piero, who reprimanded the British content creator for spoiling the Third Kit on his social media channels.

A couple of days before the transfer deadline in Serie A arrived, Juventus played a game against Parma in their home opener at the Allianz Stadium. It was their first game without their talented young No. 10, Kenan Yildiz, and we were wondering just what the state of Luciano Spalletti's squad would be.
Juventus won the game 2-0.
Two players you did not necessarily expect to score goals, Nico González and Teun Koopmeiners, were the ones who found the back of the net and enabled the Bianconeri to start the new season with two straight wins.
The unexpected help is always appreciated.
And especially with Yildiz out until November at the very least, this team needs all the help it can get — especially in the first few weeks without their No. 10 and Spalletti is still trying to figure out all the new additions to his team.

Juventus are still hoping to shift Jonathan David before the close of the summer transfer window and the latest updates claim that Atletico Madrid have submitted a formal offer for the Canada international.
David joined Juventus on a free transfer last summer after five productive years in Ligue 1 with Lille, but failed to convince in Serie A in a disappointing season on a personal and collective level, which resulted in a fifth-place finish and no Champions League football for 2026-27.

Juventus have already brought in a new centre-forward this summer in Randal Kolo Muani, considered a direct replacement for Dusan Vlahovic, but the Bianconeri are also hoping to replace David before the end of the window as well.
According to the latest reports from Fabrizio Romano, Atletico Madrid have recently submitted an official offer to sign David on loan with an option to buy and that the Canada international is 'open' to joining Diego Simeone's side.

The latest reports on Monday indicate that Juventus and Tottenham Hotspur now have an agreement in place for the transfer of central midfielder Pape Matar Sarr, who is set to join the Bianconeri on loan with a potential obligation to buy.
According to the latest updates from Sky Sport Italia, Tottenham have now given their green light for Sarr to travel over to Italy to complete his transfer to Juventus.

Juve have moved quickly to secure the Senegal international after learning that Franck Kessie had decided to return to Atalanta rather than join Luciano Spalletti in Turin.
According to Sky, Juventnus will pay a total of €30m between the cost of the loan fee and the buy clause **** uming that Sarr's transfer is made permanent. The obligation to buy will be triggered in the event of Europa League qualification and is Sarr appears in at least 50% of the team's matches in 2026-27.

#TOTTENHAM

Juventus is open to Nicolas Gonzalez leaving in the final days of this transfer window, but the Bianconeri will not send him out on loan again this summer.
The Argentinian spent last season on loan at Atletico Madrid and performed well for the Spanish club, who continue to show interest in his signature.
However, Atletico have not met Juve's asking price for his signature, and that could see them struggle to land him during an important transfer window.
The attacker hopes the clubs can find an agreement, and the Bianconeri will be happy to keep him if he does not leave the club during this window.
One achievable solution would be for Gonzalez to leave the club on loan again this summer, but Juve has now blocked that from happening.

#signature

Serie A giants Juventus failed to land Franck Kessie on a free transfer and saw him move to Atalanta but have now made decisive progress in a move for Tottenham's Pape Sarr.
Get Italian Football News covered that the two clubs had been in talks, with Spurs having opened up to a loan deal.
Gianluca Di Marzio has now reported that the deal is closing, with Juventus and Tottenham having verbally agreed an initial loan deal for the midfielder.
Once the last details are formalised, the player will fly to Turin for his medical.
Sportmediaset offer more information, reporting that Juve will pay a loan fee of €3 million while having an option to buy set at €30 million. The entirety of Sarr's salary will be paid by the Bianconeri.

Ever since the great Claude Rains first uttered the immortal line "Round up the usual suspects!" in Casablanca, the phrase has been ingrained in the popular lexicon — so much so that it inspired the ****** le of an entirely different movie nearly 50 years later. You hear it everywhere, in any context where you can expect to see a predictable set of participants.
On Saturday, a struggling Juventus were buoyed by a pair of very unusual suspects — guys most fans figured would be gone, or at least on their way out the door, by this point in the transfer window. Unable to penetrate a deep-lying Parma defense, it was Nico González who gave a moribund attack an instant shot in the arm, forcing a magical save before scoring a deflected goal off his own rebound to open the scoring. Then, with two minutes left, the game was sealed by another unlikely goalscorer: Teun Koopmeiners, who had just come on after an injury to Andrea Cambiaso and finished off a quick attack with a beautiful finish.
The unlikely redemption arcs from players most ****** umed were out of the team's plans, or at least on the very fringes, were welcome developments for a team that learned this week that their talisman, Kenan Yildiz, would miss two to three months once he undergoes surgery on a broken metatarsal. After a first half that seemed to be crying out for his creativity, it was the transfer-listed González who gave the Bianconeri the necessary spark to take Parma down 2-0 as they began to look forward to next week's big match against AC Milan.
Apart from Yildiz, Luciano Spalletti was also missing Weston McKennie (muscle fatigue), Edon Zhegrova, and Khéphren Thuram, who suffered a setback in his knee recovery and could now require surgery. Jeff Ekhator came back to make his first Juve squad in a competitive game. Spalletti's 4-2-3-1 was therefore shuffled a bit. Guglielmo Vicario started in goal after getting over the cramp that forced him off late against Frosinone. Pierre Kalulu and Zeki Çelik played on the defensive flanks, while Bremer was partnered with new signing Jhon Lucumí in the middle of defense. Manuel Locatelli and Douglas Luiz played in the midfield, while Francisco Conceição, Jonathan David, and Jérémie Boga supported Randal Kolo Muani in attack.
Carlos Cuesta lost his first Parma match last week against Cagliari, and were looking for something better here. His only missing player was former Juve prospect Hans Nicolussi Caviglia, who had to have a surgery of his own this week. Edoardo Corvi started behind a 4-4-2. Enrico Delprato, Mariano Troilo, Dominik Drobnic, and Emanuele Valeri arrayed themselves in front of him. Sascha Britschgi and Mandela Keita bookended Christian Ordóñez and Adrían Bernabé in midfield. El Bilal Touré and Simone Lontani started up front. Drobnic and Lontani were both teenagers, and the former was making his debut.

Luciano Spalletti insists Juventus put in 'a great performance' for the 2-0 victory over Parma, despite jeers and criticism from fans and media, but admits they need a new midfielder.
The Bianconeri had a frustrating first half and were jeered by the crowd, particularly Jonathan David after his substitution, but the changes off the bench proved pivotal.
Nico Gonzalez celebrates his goal for Juventus against Parma (seriea_en)
Specifically, Nico Gonzalez made an immediate impact by forcing a save, hitting the upright and then scoring on the rebound, while his high press also created the circumstances for another substitute to score late on in Teun Koopmeiners.
Spalletti had only said yesterday in his press conference that Nico Gonzalez was a player who always delivers wherever you put him, and that proved prescient.

When two sides argue, the third is the one who benefits. And this time, nothing could be more true.
Franck Kessié has been pushing for weeks to return to Italy after his stint in Saudi Arabia with Al Ahli, and the two teams most interested seemed to be Roma and Juventus.
The Bianconeri, however, pulled out just this morning due to the difficult financial situation.
And for the same reason, Roma likely has to pull out as well. The Ivorian midfielder's demands are not easy to meet, even though he's a free agent.
Furthermore, according to Gianluca Di Marzio, Atalanta are very close to bringing the former AC Milan and Barcelona player back to the Nerazzurri. This time, however, Gian Piero Gasperini won't be there to welcome him.
