The first round of 2011 Serie A action came with a couple of surprises.

First and foremost, Juventus.

The bianconeri lost 4-1 at home against Parma, and this is a big surprise not only because Juve closed 2010 in good shape and with the will of doing something more in the upcoming year, but also because it is a defeat that can mean more.

Juventus have struggled to find any consistency throughout another frustrating season which currently sees them sit in sixth place in Serie A with Lazio in fourth on 48 points, a full seven ahead of Juve. There is no point comparing this season's Juve with the last one for a number of reasons.

According to the Daily Post, Juventus are currently not interested in signing Liverpool midfielder Alberto Aquilani, who is at Juventus on loan, to a permanent basis. Sporting director Alessio Secco said,

"In my opinion, aside from the injury he suffered, Juventus will opt to sign Quagliarella from Napoli .

UPDATE: According to The Independent, the agent of Liverpool midfielder Alberto Aquilani believes Juventus will permanently sign his client. Franco Zavaglia said,

"Juve has the priority and I don't think they will let him escape .

All summer long the transfer talk around Juventus centred on the addition of a 'bomber' a term Italians use when refering to an out-and-out goal poacher and it seemed to only be a matter of choosing which natural scorer would arrive in Turin to fire the Bianconeri into Scudetto contention. When the only forward that became a member of Gigi Delneri's squad was.

Juventus are keen on signing Alberto Aquilani on a permanent basis but want Liverpool to significantly reduce their asking price.
La Gazzetta dello Sport claims dialogue has been opened between the two clubs as they attempt to resolve Aquilani's future following his loan move to Italy last summer.

There are many things that will be remembered about the 2010-2011 Serie A season, both fondly and infamously. Of course, people will remember Milan's Scudetto and Bari's relegation, Inter and Roma's thrashings in the Champions' League and Napoli's dramatic late goals. Here's a series that focuses on some of the other things that should be remembered about a fantastic season, full of both the bizarre and the unbelievable.

Successfully shaking off his injury issues for pretty much a season long, Alberto Aquilani once again become an interest in the transfer market and considering the latest report that Juventus are reportedly not willing to pay out the fee that Liverpool asked, the midfielder's future hangs in the balance.

The annual carousel of potential transfer targets is spinning once again in Turin as Juventus look to try and build a title contending team. As is the summer tradition, star players from all across Europe are being linked with the Bianconeri. But while the flashy names are splashed across the headlines, club General Manager Giuseppe Marotta and Juventus are quietly going about the business of fixing what really needed to be fixed.

Alberto Aquilani may get his wish of staying in Serie A after all, as Fiorentina is tracking the Liverpool man.
The midfielder spent last season on loan at Juventus and made it clear he wanted to remain in Italy, but the Bianconeri did not take up their option to make the move permanent.
Milan, Inter and Roma were also mentioned, but with no clubs willing to buy, he looked to be heading back to Anfield.

The door is certainly revolving at Juventus. Yesterday began with the club announcing the arrival of Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal in Turin for a medical. Vidal is set to join the Bianconeri from Bayer Leverkusen for a fee of 10.5 million euros.

And as Vidal enters, Felipe Melo exits.

Il 2011 non è iniziato per la Juventus sotto i migliori auspici.
