Juventus aims for four signings, and Tonali is hard to come, turning to Flatsi? Palin submits a transfer application

The Milan Sports reported that Juventus intends to complete at least four signings this summer, including a striker, and Bologna striker Santiago Castro has become their new target.

Zebras are training to prepare for the club's World Cup, but the newly appointed general manager Comoli is also preparing for the new signing behind the scenes. First, as Comoli explained on Tuesday, Juventus needs to hire a new sporting director and a technical director.

According to the news from Miyi, Juventus will introduce a new defender, two midfielders and a forward this summer. In terms of the defense, Marseille captain Valerdi is one of Juventus' main goals. Although Dezelby is unwilling to sell the Argentinian, Juventus can send Nico Gonzalez or Mbangula in the transaction and add a cash offer. In addition, Parma defender Leoni and Fiorentina's Comozo are also candidates.

As Newcastle is unwilling to sell Tonali, Inter's Fratsi and Benfica's Florentino became potential targets for midfield reinforcement.

Lazio's Nuno Tavarez and Girona's Miguel Gutierrez have always been the left-back candidates that Juventus is paying attention to, while Bologna's 20-year-old forward Castro has become the new front-line targets. The Zebra Legion also contacted Zhekeray's agents and remained interested in Retgee and Jonathan David.

Italian media revealed that since Newcastle was unwilling to sell Tonali, Juventus was preparing to give up introducing the 25-year-old midfielder and turn to Inter Milan player Flatsi, who is also an Italian international.

Despite admitting that he missed his homeland, Tonali seemed to have ruled out the possibility of leaving Newcastle this summer. With the Magpie now in good financial condition and not threatened with punishment, it is unlikely that the cash-strapped Zebra Legion will meet the transfer requirements involving Tonali.

After being suspended for 10 months early this season, Tonali felt the enthusiasm of Newcastle fans, and it seems he will not leave the Premier League club this summer. Overseas sports institutions agree that odds makers tend to stay in Tonali next season.

Tonali publicly stated that he hopes to stay in the Premier League, at least for the time being, Juventus needs to seize the time to explore other options to strengthen the midfield. Italian media reported that Flatsi was the main target. During his time at Sassuolo, he almost wore a black and white shirt, but eventually transferred to Inter Milan.

Fratsi still serves as a substitute for most of the season at Inter. Even though he scored a winning goal against Barcelona in May to help the team advance to the final, he found that he still had no chance to play in the Champions League final.

It is reported that Flatsi had a dispute with coach Inzaghi at that time. There are reports claiming that if Inzaghi stays, he will leave Inter Milan. Although it is not clear what role he will play under the new coach Zivo, in fact, Flatsey only started 24% of the games last season.

In order to get more playing time, Flatsey may seek to leave Inter, and Juventus' interest may attract him more, especially the Zebras' midfield is obviously weak. But Flatsey's contract with Inter Milan is signed until 2028, so it may be difficult for Juventus to introduce the Italian international.

The entire market website reported that Italian goalkeeper Palin was unhappy in Juventus. He asked the club to list him for sale this summer and he could get more playing time in his new owner.

Since returning from Genoa's loan expiration in 2021, Palin has been the second goalkeeper of the Zebras and rarely gets enough playing time. Now at the 32-year-old, he has made it clear that he wants more playing time, and he feels unlikely to get such an opportunity at Juventus.

Under Thiago Mota's leadership this season, Palin and Digregorio occasionally rotated and got some chances to play. But after Tudor arrived, as long as Digregorio was in good health, he would choose him to start. As a result, Palin's appearances dropped sharply, and he only participated in five Serie A games in the 2024/2025 season.

Juventus' choice has made Palin increasingly frustrated, and he is eager to seek new challenges elsewhere. According to the All Market Network, Palin is now asking the club to facilitate his departure in the summer transfer window. It is obvious that Palin wants to be the main goalkeeper, whether at Juventus or other clubs.

Given his experience and professional attitude, Palin deserves more regular game time than this season. If Juventus can't provide him with the opportunity he needs, they may need to consider getting him out of the team.

Several Italian sports reporters confirmed that Juventus has reached an agreement to renew the contract with head coach Tudor, and the two parties will extend the contract until June 2027, and can be extended for another year.

Thiago Mota was fired by the Zebras on March 23 this year. Tudor took over the coaching post as interim head coach. He ended the season with five wins, three draws and one loss, ensuring fourth place in Serie A and qualification for the Champions League.

After Tudor expressed anger at the idea that he would not be confirmed as Juventus coach after he was in the club's World Cup, Conte and Gasperini rejected the club's invitation due to the lack of effective alternatives, and Juventus decided to continue hiring the Croatian coach.

Several sources, including Romano, Pedula and DiMazio, believe Juventus has reached an agreement to extend Tudor's contract. After ensuring UEFA Champions League qualification, Tudor's contract has been automatically extended to the summer of 2026, and now the new contract will be extended to June 2027, with the option of extending another year..

47-year-old Tudor is close to Juventus. He was a Zebras player from 1998 to 2007, and then served as Andre Pirlo's assistant coach in the 2020-21 season.
