Juventus returned to work at Continassa to prepare for Saturday’s match at 18:00 at the Castellani against Empoli. Today, at 13:30, at the Allianz Stadium, there will be a press conference to present Teun Koopmeiners. The Juventus midfielder will answer journalists’ questions for the first time and perhaps tell some anecdotes about the long negotiations he went through in this transfer window to join Juventus.
Thiago Motta hopes to have Weah and Thuram against Empoli.
Thiago Motta hopes to be able to find Weah and Thuram, at least on the bench. Both players stopped due to a muscle problem in the first match of the championship against Como. Weah and Thuram, yesterday, continued their personalized work and the conditions of both will be monitored day by day in view of the resumption of the championship. The feeling is that there could be an excellent chance of seeing the American winger and the French midfielder in the list of those called up against Empoli, in addition to Adzic who has been training with the group since last week. The only player who will certainly not be called up is Conceicao, while as for Gonzalez we will have to wait a few more days for more certain news. Milik, on the other hand, is unable to recover from the meniscus operation in June and should not return before the match against Napoli.
It’s official: Kostic joins Fenerbahce on loan.
Yesterday, the official transfer of Filip Kostic to Fenerbahce arrived. Juventus, through its official website, announced the details of the operation: “After two seasons, the paths of Juventus and Filip Kostic, who will wear the Fenerbahce jersey, are separating. The Serbian full-back born in 1992 is moving to Turkey on loan until June 30, 2025. Having arrived in black and white in the summer of 2022 – with a very respectable curriculum having played over the course of his career, between Serbia, Holland and Germany, a total of over 400 official matches –, Filip has played 87 matches with our jersey, taking into account all competitions, less than only Danilo and Locatelli in the period”. After a turbulent summer, Kostic officially arrives at Mourinho’s court to return to being a protagonist after a couple of months spent separated at home with the Old Lady.
