Sporting CP's fresh bid for Alberto Costa hits a wall. Juventus plans to keep the full-back, with Coach Igor Tudor impressed by his FIFA Club World Cup displays. A transfer now seems unlikely, despite a reported €13m offer from Sporting.
Arsenal is reportedly closing in on Chelsea winger Noni Madueke for £55M. This highlights a past 'what if' moment for Juventus, who opted against signing him despite mentor Giovanni Galeone's long-standing advice to Massimiliano Allegri.
Juventus is keen to offload Nico Gonzalez for €30m, preferably to the Saudi Pro League, after his struggles in Turin. This sale would fund pursuits of Francisco Conceiao and Jadon Sancho, reshaping the squad.
