Juventus have been warned off prime target Luis Suarez. "He's not for sale," assured managing director Ian Ayre. The Bianconeri are consistently linked with the 26-year-old hitman, who would fit the bill as the ‘top player' in attack fans have been waiting for since last year. Juve's chances of snapping up the Uruguayan would increase considerably if Liverpool fail to qualify for the Champions League again.
Juventus are back in European action this week as they travel to Scotland to face SPL side Celtic in the Champions League last 16. The Italians are top of Serie A and will be betting favourites to prevail through to the quarter-finals, however after the Scots beat Barcelona on home soil earlier in the campaign the Bianconeri should be wary ahead of the first leg.
When news broke last week of Juventus' reported interest in Giuseppe Rossi, it brought a lot of excitement to a fanbase desperate for an upgrade at the striker position. The American-born Italian was valued at over €25 million just two years ago, but multiple injuries and the relegation of Villarreal from the Spanish La Liga had seen his stock drop considerably.
On Friday, Juventus needed a pair of extra-time goals to overcome a stubborn Cagliari side and return to Turin with three points. Despite what the final 1-3 scoreline may suggest, the Bianconeri played one of their poorer games of the season and trailed the Sardinians for most of regular time.
When several media outlets reported advanced talks between Didier Drogba and Juventus FC earlier this week, the blogospehere went berzerk.
Visions of the former Chelsea-man in the legendary black-and-white stripes of the Bianconeri kept fans up at night, and experts were already discussing the kind of impact the Ivorain could have on an already efficient and terrific side.
Juventus stretched their lead at the Serie A summit to seven points with a comprehensive 3-0 victory against ten-man Atalanta, on a day when Napoli blew the chance to move second.
Atalanta have claimed some considerable scalps this season but any ambitions of adding to that list looked bleak when Mirko Vučinić swept in after two minutes.
On Wednesday night, weeSebastian Giovinco prodded home the only goal of the night which saw Juventus squeeze past Cagliari a goal which saw the Bianconeri maintain their place at the summit of Serie A and which also bought about the end of the world... or something like that.
Suspended Juventus coach Antonio Conte gave his first "interview" in months as he answered Bianconeri fans' questions on Twitter.
Conte covered a wide range of subjects during the chat, everything from his ban, Del Piero, the Champions League and more. Here are some of Conte's answers to the fans questions.
Grazie all'acuto del montenegrino Vucinic la Juventus trova il pari nella sofferta trasferta di Champions in Danimarca, contro il Nordsjaelland, che era passato clamorosamente a condurre con il gioiello su punizione di Beckmann. Solo un punto per i bianconeri di Conte (con Alessio in panchina, ndr), che dovranno vincere ora ai primi di novembre controContinua a leggere …
La gara contro il Nordsjaelland era da vincere. Sulla carta dovevano essere tre punti. Invece per quanto visto sul campo il pari è un risultato giusto. La Juventus gioca male tutto il primo tempo. Anzi non gioca proprio. I bianconeri appaiono svogliati, troppo lenti nella manovra e prevedibili. I danesi al contrario sfoggiano buona tecnica, soprattutto a centrocampo, e tengono bene il campo.
Continua il botta e risposta, in vetta alla Serie A, tra Juventus e Napoli. I bianconeri di Carrera superano a fatica il Siena, in trasferta, per 2 a 1 (decisivo il bolide dalla distanza di Marchisio), mentre gli azzurri di Mazzarri piegano un'ostica Udinese con il duo Hamsik-Pandev, inutile la rete bianconera di Pinzi, delContinua a leggere …
Prima casalinga in Champions tra luci e ombre per la Juventus di Carrera. In uno Stadium non "caloroso" come sempre, i bianconeri devono arrestare la loro corsa a causa di un preparatissimo Shakhtar che, diretto alla grande in panchina da Mircea Lucescu, passa in vantaggio con Alex Texeira, subisce il pari torinese di Bonucci, eContinua a leggere …
Lo Juventus Stadium conosce un esordio difficile in Europa. Ieri sera ci poteva scappare il morto: cioè la prima sconfitta da novanta minuti per i bianconeri (nei 120 minuti è gi successo contro il Milan in coppa Italia). L’inizio della gara è stato complicato a partire dall’atteggiamento mentale della squadra.
Il volpone di Mircea Lucescu, vecchia conoscenza del calcio italiano, sar questa sera, con il suo aggressivo Shakhtar, l'ostacolo europeo della lanciatissima Juventus di Carrera, nella seconda giornata di Champions League. I bianconeri, primi in classifica nel campionato di Serie A, e reduci dal poker inflitto alla Roma sabato scorso, cercano la prima vittoria stagionaleContinua a leggere …
Juventus - Roma 4 - 1: L'ennesima disfatta a Torino Di Fabrizio Landolfi Sabato sera, nell'anticipo della sesta giornata di campionato, la Roma di Zeman è stata sconfitta per 4-1 a Torino dalla Juve. I bianconeri sono andati in vantaggio con un calcio di punizione di Pirlo al minuto 11, per poi raddoppiare dopo 5 minuti col rigore trasformato da Vidal, concesso da Rizzoli per un fallo di

As a soccer fan, the only thing worse than seeing your team lose is seeing it happen quickly in the beginning of the match without any chance of reversal. That is what happened when Juventus hosted AS Roma. The Wolves fought back but nothing seem to work out for them today.
Solo una squadra forte poteva passare indenne ieri sera al Franchi di Firenze. La Juve l’ha fatto. I bianconeri, pur giocando una gara con meno intensit, aiutati anche dalla fortuna e dall’imprecisione degli avversari, hanno portato a casa un punto prezioso, sia per la validit tecnica e tattica della Fiorentina, sia per un certo ambientino effervescente che a volte può incidere nelle gare.
Juventus capolista solitaria. La compagine di Carrera legittima il primato con il 2 a 0 al Chievo (doppietta di Quagliarella, ndr) nell'anticipo giocato sabato allo Juventus Stadium e, grazie ai risultati conseguiti dalle avversarie, comanda ora da sola, a punteggio pieno, la Serie A. Alle spalle dei bianconeri, a -2, troviamo il Napoli che, nonostanteContinua a leggere …
Following his last-minute decision to snub Italian duo Fiorentina and Juventus for a move to
Fulham, former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov has drawn strong criticism from Juve
sporting director Beppe Marotta.
Marotta, who was speaking to Sky Sport Italia regarding the Bianconeri's
pursuit of Arsenal's Nicklas Bendtner on the deadline day, slammed Berbatov for poorly
communicating his decision to Fiorentina.
Who are this year's Champions League favourites? - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
With the 2012-13 season underway, the Champions League group stages are not too far away from
being drawn. Holders Chelsea will look to defend their crown, but will have a host of European
giants eager to claim glory.
Juventus did not lose a game in Serie A play last season and managed to get better in the
offseason, making major signings and letting the rest of Italy know that the club's return to
greatness was not a one-year fluke.
Juve enter the new season as the overwhelming favorites to capture the scudetto again while
teams behind them reshuffle their rosters looking for answers.
Juventus Meet Napoli In Fiery Supercoppa Encounter is a post from: Serie A Weekly Juventus Meet
Napoli In Fiery Supercoppa Encounter is a post from: Serie A Weekly Saturday's Italian Super Cup
match between Juventus and Napoli saw the Bianconeri emerge as 4-2 winners in a hotly contested
match. The most significant absence for the Serie A champions was manager Antonio Conte, who is.
After almost two decades, Alessandro Del Piero's 19 years with Juventus came to an end during the Coppa Italia final against Napoli. His departure was a disappointing one on multiple fronts since Juve lost their first official match of the season, could not add a 10th Coppa Italia trophy to their record haul (currently tied on 9 trophies with Roma) and he failed to score a goal in his last game game as a Bianconeri player.
La firma è arrivata. Ieri pomeriggio, in Corso Galileo Ferraris, nella sede della Juventus,
Antonio Conte ha firmato il prolungamento del contratto che lo legher agli amati colori
bianconeri fino al 2015. Un matrimonio che continua, con soddisfazione di tutte le parti in causa.
Il tecnico leccese, alla presenza del presidente Andrea Agnelli e dell'adContinua a leggere .
Serie A will witness a drastic haul once the 2012-13 season begins with legendary players such
as Alessandro Del Piero and Alessandro Nesta destined to leave the peninsula. There are a number of
other players who made some major contributions throughout their career who will either retire or
move outside Italy.

There are a number of other players who made some major contributions throughout their career who will either retire or move outside Italy.
Juventus 2011-12 has etched its place in history. Just like Antonio Conte wanted, his side can only
be matched but never surpassed. The Bianconeri completed a remarkable 38-game unbeaten season by
conquering Atalanta 3-1 and then watched as outgoing captain Alessandro Del Piero lifted the Serie
A trophy high into the Turin sky Having secured the Scudetto and record, Antonio Conte's mind is
now.
TweetJuventus have officially joined the 'Invincibles' club by going through the Serie A season
unbeaten after a 3-1 win over Atalanta. The Bianconeri closed a memorable Serie A campaign with a
resounding 3-1 win over Atalanta at the Juventus Arena and inscribed themselves into Italian
folklore having gone through the entire season unbeaten.
Six years ago in Bari, the directors watched on as Juventus celebrated their 29th Scudetto.
Celebrations moved from beneath the stadium to the team bus, which Luciano Moggi boarded in tears.
The players too, though they appeared to hide it well, must have known what was to come.
Liverpool play Italian side Udinese at Anfield this Thursday and judging by their results this Season, we don't have too much to worry about.
The Bianconeri currently lie in 16th place in Italy's Seria A with 6 points from six games.
Under coach Francesco Guidolin, the Udinese have scored very few goals during this Campaign, indeed, veteran forward, Antonio Di Natale is their top-scorer with just two goals to date in La Liga.
Goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon This season Buffon has restored his reputation as one of the World's
greatest goalkeepers. He endured a torrid previous 12 months, injuries curtailing his involvement
with the Bianconeri. He certainly did not lack motivation to return and there is little doubt he is
the Gigi of old.
Chi tra i bianconeri aveva provato un attimo di smarrimento al Franchi di Firenze, ieri sera si è ritrovato confortato da una prova convincente di una Juve targata Antonio Conte. Sui motivi di un probabile cambiamento, faccio riferimento al mio post del dopo gara contro la Fiorentina. Non era giustificato lo sconforto di martedì sera, non è da esaltare oltre ogni misura, la vittoria contro una Roma dalla fase difensiva disastrosa.
Napoli's players lifted the Coppa Italia while Juventus players and fans were left to wonder
what would have happened had coach Antonio Conte started Gianluigi Buffon, Simone Pepe and Mirko
Vucinic.
The Bianconeri were aiming to finish the season without a defeat in official matches but they
failed in the last hurdle.
Juventus wrapped up their historical season with a routine 3-1 win against Atalanta today. The
win ensured that the new Italian champions finished their 38-game season unbeaten.
It was a day of celebration for the newly anointed champions, and Luca Marrone's tenth-minute
opener set the tone for a momentous day.

Decide il baby Ceccherini, classe 1992, che dopo 60 secondi dal suo ingresso in campo stende i bianconeri con uno straordinario colpo di testa.
Luis Suarez's souring relationship with English football may open the door to a move to Serie A
giants Juventus, reports from Italy suggest.
Italian outlet calciomercato suggest that Juventus are willing to offer the perturbed Liverpool
forward a route out of the Premier League, as they consider alternatives should they fail in their
attempts to lure Arsenal's Robin Van Persie to the club.
Non ho avuto molto tempo per dire la mia sul tema della terza stella da mettere sulle maglie della
Juventus dopo la vittoria dell'ultimo campionato dei bianconeri. Considerato il panorama ed il
contesto in cui ci si muove, si tratta di decisione molto delicata. Da un lato ci siamo i tifosi,
la cui maggioranza è cresciuta con questo riconoscimento da cucire sulla maglia, a testimonianza
dei propri successi e della propria forza.
The Juve legend might be moving to Canada and becoming a Quebecois. If that happens he will join
Marco Di Vaio, the former Bologna and Juve striker who became the Impact's first designated player.
The Gazzetto Dello Sport is reporting Del Piero is vacationing with Joey Saputo, the Impact owner
in Florida.
Napoli beat Juventus 2-0 in the Coppa Italia final to spoil the end of Juve's undefeated season
and finish Alessandro Del Piero's Bianconeri career on a sour note. For Napoli's Marek Hamsik, who
sealed the win by scoring the second goal in the 83rd minute, it was also an end of sorts as he
lived up to a promise he made about his trademark, powerful and robust mohawk.
