Chiellini brings Conte back to Turin? Atletico Madrid is interested in Fla, Juventus aims at two young defenders

The Milan Sports confirmed that Antonio Conte is Juventus' "dream" coach next season, and his former player George Chiellini is expected to play a key role in the negotiations.

Former Zebra Army team leader Chiellini returned to the club to serve as head of football agency relations last September and is now ready to play a more important role in the club's management. Juventus is expected to change the club's management structure and Chiellini will take on more responsibilities, although his new role at the club is not yet clear.

According to the "Milan Sports" newspaper, Chiellini has played for many years in Juventus and the Italian national team coached by Conte, and will now promote the re-cooperation with Conte.

Multiple sources have claimed that Conte is the main candidate for Juventus to replace Tudor this summer. The Croatian coach's contract ends this season, but will lead the team to the club's World Cup.

On the other hand, Conte's contract with Naples was signed until 2027, so the Zebra Legion had to negotiate with him and Naples president De Laurentis to bring Conte back to Turin.

Considering the competition between the two clubs and the fact that Conte helped the Blues finish the rebound after a poor performance in the 2023-24 season, making them the league title contenders this season, it certainly is not an easy task. The 25-year-old Serbian striker has attracted Atletico Madrid's interest, according to the Sporting Milan newspaper.

According to the latest news from "Sports Milan", Juventus striker Vlahovic is on Atletico Madrid's radar. The Serbian international is the Zebras' top scorer this season, but his contract expires in 2026, and Tousan appears reluctant to extend the contract.

Vlahovic's salary will automatically rise to €12 million per season, and the club hopes to split his salary into longer contracts, but the Serbian international doesn't seem interested in the choice. Therefore, Juventus had to sell Tousan this summer to avoid losing both money after the end of the 2025-26 season.

Frahovic has been associated with Arsenal, Chelsea and even Barcelona before, but his poor performance in the second half of the season has cooled down interest in the club that has been paying attention to him. So far this season, Vlahovic has made 39 appearances in various competitions and scored 14 goals.

Juventus sports director Gene Toli recently talked about the future of Vlahovic: "We have a good relationship with this player and his agent, and we will sit down at the end of the season to discuss and evaluate whether to continue to work together or part ways."

The entire market website reported that Juventus targeted two young Italian defenders to strengthen the roster next season.

The Zebra Legion has a long-term strategy to target the best young talents, especially those emerging stars in Italy. In recent seasons, the club has continued to adopt this approach, recruiting some of the most promising players in the country, including Andre Cambiaso.

Currently, the club's attention remains focused on securing the top four. Gaining a place in the Champions League is a priority because it ensures that the club can attract and retain top players. Once this is achieved, Juventus will shift its focus to strengthening the roster for the next season.

According to the All Market Network, Juventus is preparing to introduce one of the most promising young defenders in Serie A at the end of the season: they are interested in signing Pietro Comuzo, who is currently playing for Fiorentina, or 18-year-old Parma star Giovanni Leoni.

Both players are considered one of Italy's best young defenders. Komuzo is attracting attention for his reliability and defensive position, while Leoni is impressive for his confidence and potential. Juventus believes both have great potential value and is developing a plan to bring one of them to the Allianz Stadium.

Juventus' interest in Komuzo and Leoni fits in their signing model, which is to focus on building a team around young people and long-term development. The club's goal is not only to find short-term solutions, but also to cultivate a group of young talents who can grow together with the club.

By investing in young talents early on, Juventus believes that this will create a sustainable, competitive team that will be able to strike the championship trophy on the Italian and European stages in the coming seasons.

Juventus head coach Igor Tudor insisted that he was "no less than anyone", noting that when he took office in March, the team was in the "abyss".

The Zebras will face Udinese this Sunday, their last home game of the season. Tudor held a pre-match press conference a day in advance, but most of the reporters' questions were about the team's previous performance and his future at the club.

Tudor said: "The team trained well, it was a little longer week, and we worked very well."

Due to injuries and suspension, Tuudor will lack choices in defense and midfield positions, and defender Gatti's physical condition is still not enough to play the whole game. "As far as everything he did, the best thing Gatti could do was the same as the last game." Gatti had just recovered from a fractured calf and played only for the last five minutes in the last game against Lazio.

Juventus currently ranks fourth with 64 points with Lazio, but has an advantage in each other's record, so if they win the next two games, they will qualify for the Champions League. "I think despite these problems, we're doing a great job. It's not easy when you don't have Gatti, Kupmenas, Ildiz, Cambiaso, Kelly, and two games with one less player, it's not easy. ”

"We must always be vigilant and know that Juventus must win. I was the first to feel sorry, but considering the situation at the time, I feel like the team has done its best. When I arrived, the team was trapped in the abyss. Now, they are more aware of this, they fight more, and our game time. You need to understand this moment, and I praise the guys who have given everything. ”

"We won three home games, but in my opinion, there was no easy game. The coach is also a psychologist, both for individuals and teams. The coach must have different ways to know who to say what to. If you have Buffon, Chiellini and Bonucci, you will speak in one way; when you have a different team, you will speak in different ways. ”

Ilditz was suspended for two games and finally returned to the game this Sunday. "He suffered a lot and he is an important player of the team. I told him not to feel responsible for making up for anything, he had to move forward, focus on the game, do what he had to do, he knew what to do. ”

Tudor will at least lead the team to participate in the Club World Cup, but there is no guarantee that he will get a contract renewal. According to reports from multiple media, Conte is the main coach candidate for Juventus' 2025-26 season. "I live in the present, but I don't consider the future. If you ask me if I feel that I am not as good as anyone, I won't say no to anyone. ”
