Luciano Spalletti is expected to name two of his summer signings in the Juventus starting XI to take on Frosinone away from home on Sunday evening as the Bianconeri get their 2026-27 Serie A season underway.
This is Juve's first competitive outing of the 2026-27 season, but not for the newly-promoted Frosinone, who beat Juve Stabia in the first round of the Coppa Italia last weekend.
Massimiliano Alvini is expected to name a similar line-up to the one that beat Juve Stabia last time out, including a potentially untouched front three of Antonio Raimondo, Fares Ghedjemis and Giorgi Kvernadze. Alessio Zerbin is also in contention to start in attack.
Juventus, meanwhile, are expected to go with new no.1 Guglielmo Vicario in goal along with his former Tottenham teammate Randal Kolo Muani at centre-forward. Kerim Alajbegovic and Zeki Celik are likely to start from the bench.

#celtic #rangers #midfielder

Celtic and Rangers have been pushing to sign Fares Ghedjemis over the last few months and the Frosinone star's valuation has gone up further.
The winger helped the club earn promotion to the Serie A last season, scoring 15 times in the Italian second division. This came as a sign of rising reputation, which led to the Hoops making a January approach which was rejected by Frosinone.
The two Glasgow clubs have made approaches of their own this summer too. Tuttomercatoweb confirm this, revealing that several clubs have expressed interest in the Algerian, who also played one game at the World Cup, being the first player in Frosinone history to play at the tournament.
Now, his valuation has reached €20 million. Monaco have tried to make a move of their own, offering €7 million plus bonuses but this hasn't proved enough.
As a result, it will take a significant effort from every suitor to land the Algeria international.

#year #eindhoven #celta #hassan

On the eve of what is already a huge game in Rangers' season, they confirmed the signing of a player to fill a position in which they have been lacking ever since the departure of Vaclav Cerny.
In Daisuke Yokota, they have a left-footed right winger who they will hope can provide the creativity on that side that was missing from last season's failed ***** le bid.
The addition of the ***** anese forward, who recorded five goals and four ***** ists on loan at Bundesliga 2 side Hannover last season, will go some way to injecting an attacking threat that Rangers supporters have been crying out for.
They continue to be linked with others in that position, including the Celtic target Fares Ghedjemis, who would presumably be first-choice if they were able to get that over the line but options are definitely required on the evidence of the opening league game against Dundee United but also all of last season.
They do have options on the other flank, but Djeidi Gassama was hooked at half-time at Tannadice and after a promising start to his Ibrox career this time last year, has failed to build on that. Meanwhile, Findlay Curtis may not be deemed ready to take on the mantle of a first pick as Rangers try to ***** emble a ***** le-winning squad.

Speculation has been a little subdued recently over a move for the Real Oviedo man, but the winger who impressed at the recent World Cup in the United States, has turned his back on a the lucrative offer from an unknown Saudi club.
Spanish outlet La Nueva Espana have claimed that the skilful winger was offered a five-year contract worth £2million per year from the unknown club.
That equates to around £38,500 per week, but it isn't enough to convince Hassan to make the move
The outlet further suggests that the 24 year old isn't interested in a move to the Gulf State, and will only consider a move to another European club, leaving the door open ever so wider for Celtic to make their move before transfer window slams shut in a few weeks time.

Celtic have been told to pay €9.5m to sign Farès Ghedjemis. The Algerian winger was name checked by Martin O'Neill last week as a potential summer arrival as he looks to strengthen his squad.
According to transfer journalist Sebastian Vidal, Celtic have been told to increase their offer for the winger by €2.5m.
Celtic are expected to return for Ghedjemis but Frosinone are sticking to their valuation of the player. In any case, Celtic are going to have to pay more than they've currently offered for the winger.
Celtic have added Camilo Duran and Kasper Høgh to bolster their attacking options with the frontmen replacing Daizen Maeda and Kelechi Iheanacho. It was clear after the win over Dundee that Celtic needed an injection of pace into the wide areas to freshen up the squad. Ghedjemis' performances in Serie B caught the attention of Celtic in January but no deal was forthcoming. Now, Celtic need to get deals over the line to make sure that they are in top form for the UCL doubleheader against LASK.

Celtic have revived their interest in Farès Ghedjemis after fresh reports placed the Algerian winger back near the top of the club's shortlist. According to The Herald, the Scottish champions have reopened talks after narrowly missing out on the 23-year-old during the January transfer window, when Frosinone convinced him to remain and help their promotion push from Serie B.
Transfer Feed carried comments from Martin O'Neill, who admitted Celtic hold a "very, very strong interest" in Ghedjemis. While he stopped short of suggesting an agreement is close, O'Neill revealed discussions are progressing well. He added that he could not confirm whether Rangers are actively pursuing the winger despite recent speculation linking the Ibrox side with the same player.
The report states that negotiations for Real Oviedo's Haissem Hassan have slowed, making Ghedjemis a more realistic option. Frosinone are understood to value the Algeria international at around £8 million (€10 million) after a remarkable campaign that transformed his reputation across Italian football.

Statistics explain the growing interest. Ghedjemis finished the 2025/26 Serie B season with 15 goals and three ***** ists from 37 league appearances, playing 3,024 minutes as Frosinone secured automatic promotion by finishing second. His form carried into the international stage, earning regular Algeria call-ups before appearances during the country's run to the FIFA World Cup round of 32.

Rangers are interested in bringing Frosinone attacker Fares Ghedjemis to Ibrox this summer, according to Sky Sports. Bears manager Derek McInnes has been strengthening his Rangers squad this summer as he looks to win the Scottish Premiership next term. The France-born Ghedjemis has now emerged as a target for the Light Blues after Celtic failed with a bid during the last winter transfer window. The 23-year-old Algerian international bagged 15 goals to help Frosinone secure Serie A promotion, which has impressed Rangers.
Ghedjemis featured at the World Cup and a move to Ibrox could now be on the cards. Rangers are now pushing for a deal and are making a strong move as he is their first target to strengthen in attack.
The Frenchman has several suitors keen on recruiting his services this summer, but the Bears appear to be one of the favourites to sign him. Frosinone will have to start looking elsewhere for attacking reinforcements as they look to impress in the Italian top-flight without the Rangers target.
