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

Federico Gatti came off the bench and scored an injury-time equaliser as Juventus **** ed a 1-1 draw with AC Milan in Serie A on Sunday.
Both teams arrived at the Allianz Stadium after starting the season with back-to-back wins and remained unbeaten after a hard-fought affair.
The result leaves Roma and Inter Milan as the two teams with 100 percent records after three games, with Lazio attempting to join them when they face Udinese on Monday.
"We didn't deserve to win, and Juve didn't deserve to lose," Milan coach Ruben Amorim told DAZN.
"We lost possession too often and didn't play well, but we've only been working together for two months."

Ruben Amorim admits Milan 'didn't deserve to win, or more like Juventus didn't deserve to lose' after their 1-1 draw in Turin. 'We need to move more and be braver.'
The Rossoneri had struggled to create any genuine scoring opportunities in Turin and thanked first Mike Maignan, then the frame of the goal for keeping out Francisco Conceicao.

Substitute Alphadjo Cisse gave them the lead somewhat against the run of play with a well-taken angled drive through Pierre Kalulu's legs, but in stoppages Federico Gatti nodded in the Teun Koopmeiners cross for the late equaliser.
It means both Milan and Juventus lose their 100 per cent start to the Serie A season, dropping points in this head-to-head.

Hollywood has decided motorcycle racing is the next thing to monetize, and the first swing at it is not the reverent documentary the paddock probably expected. It's a caper.
The project surfaced not through a studio press release but through the actor himself. Alan Ritchson, appearing on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast in late July, said flatly: "I got the rights to MotoGP. I love motorcycles." He went on to describe wanting to build something international and Fast & Furious-shaped around premier-class racing, and said he'd already started riding preparation with the intent of handling his own work on camera. Everything since — the streamer, the writer, the plot mechanics — has come from trade reporting rather than any confirmed announcement, so treat the details as provisional until someone official puts their name on it.
What isn't provisional is why a streamer would say yes. Ritchson's War Machine climbed to No. 9 on Netflix's all-time most-popular film list with 139.9 million views inside its 91-day counting window. That's the kind of number that buys an actor a first-look deal and the ability to walk in the door with a passion project attached.
MotoGP changed hands last year. Liberty Media completed its acquisition of Dorna Sports on July 3, 2025, folding the championship into the same Formula One Group that owns F1 and Quint. Anyone who watched what Liberty did with Formula 1 — the docuseries, the American race expansion, the feature film — can see the playbook being run again with a different set of wheels.

Juventus will welcome Parma to the Allianz Stadium in their next match, with the Bianconeri targeting all three points against a Parma side that has lost some of its key figures during this transfer window.
However, that does not mean Parma will be an easy team to face, and Juventus have two injury concerns ahead of the game, apart from Kenan Yildiz, who could be out for a long time.
The Bianconeri believe they have a squad capable of winning matches even when some players are unavailable, and they will expect the rest of the team to step up when Parma visit the Allianz Stadium.
Juventus have been preparing for the match, and Tuttomercatoweb reveals that the team trained without Federico Gatti and Jeff Ekhator during their latest session, with both players instead working individually on personalised programmes.
Gatti was injured by a fan during the pre-season game against Juventus' Next Gen when a pitch invasion disrupted the match. The incident left the defender dealing with an injury, and he is now working to regain his fitness.

Juventus begin their Serie A campaign under Luciano Spalletti with an away trip to newly promoted Frosinone on Sunday.The Bianconeri arrive at the season opener after a reassuring pre-season under Spalletti.
Throughout August they showed encouraging form, registering 1–0 and 2–0 wins over Chelsea and Palermo respectively. They completed their warm-up fixtures with a 2–0 victory against Juventus Next Gen. Their only setback in that period was a narrow 1–2 defeat to rivals Inter Milan.
Defensive options are limited as dependable centre-back Federico Gatti is out with an ankle problem, and young forward Jeff Ekhator is also unavailable.
Additionally, goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio has been omitted from the traveling party amid an expected move to Premier League club Bournemouth.
On the bright side, Spalletti confirmed that marquee summer recruits Guglielmo Vicario and Randal Kolo Muani are fully fit and will make their competitive debuts in the starting XI.

Olympique Marseille have been priced out of a move for Federico Gatti this summer, with the Ligue 1 side deciding they cannot meet Juventus' asking price. The Bianconeri are open to Gatti leaving during the transfer window because he is no longer a regular starter, while the arrival of Jhon Lucumi could make it even more difficult for him to secure playing time.
However, Gatti remains one of the most important figures in the Juventus dressing room, and the club would still be happy to keep him. His importance within the squad means they are not under pressure to sell unless a suitable offer arrives.
As reported by Tuttojuve, Marseille asked about the conditions of a potential deal and were told they would need to pay 25m euros for Gatti's signature. The Ligue 1 side immediately ended their interest, considering the defender too expensive at that price.
The situation could leave Gatti facing another season in Turin, particularly if other interested clubs are unwilling to meet Juventus' demands. The Bianconeri remain open to his departure, but they will not allow him to leave without receiving an amount they consider appropriate.
Gatti himself is happy to remain a Juventus player and believes he can continue fighting for more playing time at the club. His determination to compete for his place means he is not actively seeking an exit from Turin.

Kenan Yildiz and Kerim Alajbegovic get to start together for the first time as Juventus take on Palermo in their penultimate pre-season friendly of the summer on Tuesday afternoon.
Juventus are taking on Palermo in Perth, Australia on Tuesday, which kicks off at 11.00 BST (12.00 CET).
Luciano Spalletti appears to have gone with a 4-2-3-1 on Tuesday, featuring both of his two most recent signings in Alajbegovic and Randal Kolo Muani. Alajbegovic appears set to play in a central role behind Kolo Muani with Yildiz to his left and Francisco Conceicao to his right.

Douglas Luiz and Weston McKennie are the chosen midfielders in the double pivot. It is somewhat of a makeshift back four featuring Teun Koopmeiners at centre-back along with Zeki Celik, Federico Gatti and Juan Cabal across the rest of the back four.

Cristiano Ronaldo posted two photos to his personal Instagram account this week captioned simply "My toys," and unlike most athlete garage flexes, the hardware in the frame actually holds up to scrutiny. The images, viewed directly on his verified account, show him perched on the fender of a low red Ferrari inside what looks less like a garage and more like a boutique dealership: polished stone walls, gallery-style track lighting, glass panels overlooking greenery, and cars parked on what appear to be rotating display turntables. It's built to be looked at, so let's actually look at it.
View the original "My toys" post on Cristiano Ronaldo's Instagram
Strip away the sunglasses-and-white-shirt theater and the hardware tells its own story. In the foreground of both shots sits a low, wide Ferrari with a sharply creased nose, integrated splitter, and shield badge consistent with the styling language of Maranello's hybrid hypercar flagship. Parked nose to tail with it is a second Ferrari that has no windshield at all, a dead giveaway for the Monza SP1 or SP2, Ferrari's "Icona" series barchetta. Ferrari's own spec sheet credits the Monza with 810 metric horsepower from a V12 borrowed directly from the 812 Superfast, and a "virtual wind shield" aero channel that redirects airflow over the driver's head instead of putting glass in front of their face.
Wedged in front of both Ferraris is a deep maroon Bugatti wearing the brand's oval "EB" badge and the round quad headlamps that mark it as one of the Veyron-generation cars rather than the sharper-edged Chiron that replaced it in 2016. ******* uming it's the roofless Grand Sport Vitesse the exposed targa panel suggests, that's the variant Bugatti's own press materials credit with a 408.84 km/h (254 mph) top speed set with the roof removed, a record for an open-top production car that stood specifically because Bugatti engineered the Vitesse's structure to stay rigid at that speed without a fixed roof tying the chassis together.
Further back, a black coupe wearing a towering, strut-mounted rear wing lines up with the unmistakable silhouette of a McLaren Senna, the track-focused hypercar McLaren built in a limited run of 500 examples, each hand-assembled over roughly 300 hours. McLaren's own figures put the Senna at 789 horsepower from a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, a 335 km/h (208 mph) top speed, and a 2.8-second run to 62 mph, with that enormous wing doing real aerodynamic work rather than just looking angry. A handful of other cars are visible deeper in the frame, including a pale, low-slung shape and a boxier silhouette, but neither is clear enough in the photos to identify with confidence.

It has been a few years since we last faced Juventus on the pitch. We've been on similar paths even if not exactly parallel, with the (once) Italian juggernauts failing to win their national league for six years and counting.
As always fitness, tactics and team chemistry take precedence in a preseason game. But if we can come out on top against a fellow embattled giant, then why not push for it?

Max Allegri is eager to reunite with Federico Gatti, as it's reported Napoli asked Juventus to let the defender leave on loan with option to buy.
It is no secret that the Partenopei need reinforcements in defence, as Juan Jesus left at the end of his contract, while Alessandro Buongiorno will be out for at least two to three months following knee surgery.
A more expensive alternative is Benoit Badiashile of Chelsea, but the €30m asking price and reticence to let him go on loan with an option to buy make that difficult.

Instead, Sky Sport Italia transfer pundit Gianluca Di Marzio claims this evening that Napoli have stepped up talks with Juventus for Gatti.

#juventus #gatti #napoli #february

Napoli are zeroing in on Benoit Badiashile to complete their defense, which won't have Alessandro Buongiorno for a few months because of a knee injury, while Sam Beukema is dealing with a tricky Achilles issue, Corriere dello Sport informs.
The center-back opened the door to the destination. His personal terms won't be an obstacle. On the other hand, the Partenopei aren't close to concurring to a deal with Chelsea, as they are angling for a simple loan.
Napoli would be able to evaluate Badiashile for a season that way, as he has dealt with a number of physical problems in recent years. He made just 16 appearances in 2025/2026, for a total of just over 1000 minutes. The Blues invested €40M for him in 2023. They don't seem too keen on a temporary formula at the moment.
The Azzurri have also expressed interest in Jean-Clair Todibo, but he's not too high on their shortlist. Olympique Marseille are targeting him with more conviction. Federico Gatti remains a viable fallback. Instead, a proper investment would be needed to sign Tiago Gabriel from Lecce. He has a €30M price tag, while the Serie A runner-ups value him a lot less. He'd be useful for the lists, though, given his young age. Juan Jesus' return has also been pondered. He's still without a team after his contract ran out.
If they are concerned about Beukema's availability, they'll need a lot more than another injury-prone center-back to be serene for the entire season. It's time for them to seriously contemplate a splash at the position, without worrying about a potential future logjam.

West Ham United defender Jean-Clair Todibo is attracting transfer interest from Napoli, according to respected transfer journalist Gianluca DiMarzio.
The Hammers signed the Frenchman two years ago for big money, but he has struggled to live up to expectations in England.
West Ham do not necessarily need the funds following the big-money sales of Crysencio Summerville and Mateus Fernandes.
However, Todibo's inconsistent performances, and perhaps desire to play in a more prominent league, could push him out of the London Stadium.
The Italian club is searching for replacements for the injured Alessandro Buongiorno. They are eyeing several options, including Tiago Gabriel, Benoit Badiashile, and Federico Gatti.

#transfer #napoli

Juventus have identified Fikayo Tomori as a potential replacement for Federico Gatti, with the Milan centre-back now open to making the move to the Bianconeri, according to Get Italian Football News, citing La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Tomori's position at Milan has become uncertain following the club's signing of Mario Gila from Lazio, which has effectively reshuffled the defensive hierarchy at San Siro. Coventry City had been tracking the England international, but that option – a return to the Championship with a newly promoted club offering no European football – has not appealed to him.
A key factor in Juventus's thinking is sporting director Ricky Massara, who was the architect of Tomori's original move from Chelsea to Milan and is now operating from the Continassa. That existing relationship gives Juve a meaningful advantage in any approach. Tomori had rejected a transfer in January 2025 and turned down Tottenham around the same period, but the source reports his stance has shifted.
Gatti, meanwhile, is set to leave in search of regular starts, with Napoli the reported destination. The Partenopei need to offload a player before they can formalise that deal, which is currently stalling the entire chain – but Tomori represents a ready-made safety net for Thiago Motta's successor Luciano Spalletti as Juve reshape their backline. The club has been active in that area already, pursuing centre-back reinforcements through multiple avenues this window.
Tomori's current deal at Milan runs until 2027, meaning the Rossoneri hold real leverage and any departure would require a negotiated fee rather than a discounted exit. With defensive turnover already a theme at Juventus this summer, and Lloyd Kelly also a candidate to leave, Tomori could expect a significant role rather than squad cover. At 28, with four-plus years of Serie A experience, he fits the profile Juve are targeting – a proven defender comfortable at the top end of the table and in European competition.

Juventus have revived their interest in Fikayo Tomori, roughly 18 months after a move for the Milan defender collapsed when the player turned it down.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, via CalcioMercato, the Bianconeri are once again weighing up the centre-back, drawn to his experience and Serie A grounding, a profile that fits Luciano Spalletti's wishes.
Any deal, however, depends on outgoings. Giovanni Carnevali's hierarchy want to lighten the squad before adding to it, and Federico Gatti is among those who could make way.
Squeezed out by Bremer and seeking more regular minutes, Gatti would command a fee that generates a healthy profit, with Napoli and moves to Turkey lingering in the background as possible routes out.

Middlesex have announced the appointment of Julie Harrington as the county's interim chief executive officer.
Harrington, the former CEO of British Cycling and the British Horseracing Authority, said she was looking forward to "bringing her experience" to the club.
Her appointment comes after chief executive, Andrew Cornish, was placed on a leave of absence amid an investigation being carried out by the Cricket Regulator.
In March, former England captain Mike Gatting and a group of high-profile former Middlesex players wrote to members after calling on the club's chair, Richard Sykes, to resign over what they said was the poor running of the club.
In a statement, Sykes said Harrington's "extensive leadership experience across major sports" would be invaluable to the club.

Juventus have reignited their interest in Tiago Gabriel , with the Bianconeri opening a fresh round of contacts as they weigh defensive reinforcements for Luciano Spalletti.
The Lecce centre-back is not, however, top of Juventus' priority list, according to the reports from CalcioMercato .
The club's most pressing needs are a goalkeeper, with Michele Di Gregorio on his way out and ongoing talks with Aston Villa over Emiliano Martínez , and a striker, where efforts are focused on agreeing a deal with PSG for Randal Kolo Muani .
A central midfielder is also sought, with Franck Kessié continuing to offer himself, alongside a defender, particularly given possible exits in that area, with Federico Gatti 's future one to watch.

The Italian market has been shaken by the arrival of Gonçalo Ramos (who enters the TOP 10 most expensive signings in Serie A), while at the Club World Cup the angry reaction from Bielsa to the elimination of his Uruguay caused a stir, along with the announcement that Messi will start on the bench.
Now let's take a look at today's most important news about Italy's biggest clubs.
Matteo Moretto spoke about Muharemovic on Fabrizio Romano's YouTube channel: "Juventus are still keeping tabs on Muharemovic; they own 50% of the player's future sale, but right now they are focused on other deals. He is also very popular abroad, even though Juve have a preferential channel."
Juventus, however, will need to register capital gains on the books as soon as possible: according to the Corriere dello Sport, Miretti (15 million), Di Gregorio (15 million), Cabal (carried on the books for 7 million), and Gatti (20/25 million) are up for sale.
Atletico Madrid were interested in Gonçalo Ramos (according to Fabrizio Romano), but Milan's offer beat the colchoneros to it, so they are now targeting another player also on Milan's radar: Morten Hjulmand.

In 1999, hikers on Vancouver Island suddenly began falling mysteriously ill. Doctors found strange nodules growing on their lungs, and several people died as cases mounted over the next few years. The culprit was Crypotoccus gattii, a microscopic fungus that typically lives on rotting logs in tropical rainforests and that had somehow found its way thousands of miles north.
“We had this new fungus showing up in the Pacific Northwest that wasn't supposed to be there,” recalls molecular epidemiologist David Engelthaler, who was called in by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CD
