Juventus and Roma are exploring a potential swap deal for Weston McKennie and Bryan Cristante. Juve eyes Cristante to boost 'Italianness' and avoid a free transfer loss, while Roma seeks McKennie's prime. A strategic move for both clubs.
Juventus confirms the €12.6m signing of João Mário from FC Porto, with the versatile 25-year-old signing until 2030. He contributed 7 assists in 42 appearances last season. Alberto Costa moves to Porto for €16m in a linked profitable transfer.
Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz failed to report for pre-season training, prompting disciplinary action. His unauthorised absence signals an imminent departure, following a disappointing season plagued by injuries and a lack of impact, as the club seeks a €40m sale.
