Bonucci’s Juventus contract runs out in June 2024, but the latest reports in Italy suggest the Serie A giants will offer him a contract extension.
The Italy international is being heavily criticised by Italian sports papers today with the highest grade being 4/10 from Gazzetta and Il Corriere Dello Sport while Tuttosport rated the experienced centre-back 3/10.
“A complete disaster, it was a nightmare of a night for the captain,” wrote the Turin-based paper. “He didn’t get a thing right and in the end Allegri replaced him.”
Juventus could terminate Angel di Maria’s contract in January after reiterating his desire to end his career back in his homeland.
The winger joined the Bianconeri in the last transfer window as a free agent and has been an important contributor to their matches this term.
Juve continues to enjoy his talents, but Di Maria is injury-prone and there is a slim chance he will extend his contract with them at the end of this term.
A report on Tuttomercatoweb reveals that Bianconeri is happy to allow him to leave mid-season.
The report claims if the attacker has a good offer and asks them to allow him to leave, they will agree to terminate his deal in January.
Breaking news.
Massimiliano Allegri insisted that Juventus‘ exit in the Champions League group stage is ‘not a failure,’ while fans ask Andrea Agnelli to make radical choices about the coach, writes Lorenzo Bettoni.
Agnelli’s presidency hit rock bottom following Juventus’ Champions League exit in the group stage on Tuesday night. The Bianconeri had never lost four games in the group phase, and even Allegri had always been able to qualify for the Round of 16 of Europe’s elite competition.
The Old Lady’s boss said at a press conference yesterday that the early elimination in the competition is ‘not a failure’ given that Juventus still have a lot to play for in Serie A and, hopefully, Europa League.
This is clearly too optimistic of the disastrous situation Juventus find themselves in. They are the club with the highest wage bill in Serie A, coached by the best-paid coach in the league. They announced a €250m loss for 2021-22, the highest ever registered in Italy.
They’ve had a €700m cash injection over the last three years and their plan to boost their finances from 2022 to 2025 foresees the minimum target of qualification for the Champions League Round of 16. This alone explains why Juventus’ elimination is not just a failure. It’s a massive one and the worst thing is that there doesn’t seem to be a way out of it.
It is true that the Old Lady has been severely hit by injuries this season with Paul Pogba and Federico Chiesa, two of their best players, who have yet to make their debut this season.
However, it is also evident that you don’t need these sorts of players to beat the likes of Sampdoria, Monza or Maccabi Haifa, three of the many teams against whom Juventus failed to win this term.
There are many other issues behind the Old Lady’s crisis, from Allegri’s poor playing style to the lack of commitment of some players who seem more focused on the World Cup than Juventus.
Allegri completed the first trophyless campaign for the Old Lady in 2021-22 but somehow managed to save his job despite his predecessors Maurizio Sarri and Andrea Pirlo being sacked after lifting silverware in their first and only season at the club.
Juventus fans are calling Agnelli to make drastic decisions even after he confirmed that Allegri ‘is and will be’ the Juventus coach two weeks ago. The club’s President suggested that he will assess the campaign in the summer, but many fear June will be too late as Juventus are already ten points behind table leaders Napoli and five below fourth-placed Atalanta.
Agnelli didn’t talk to the media after Tuesday night’s loss in Lisbon, an understandable choice given that he is not required to appear in front of cameras after every Juventus loss. That is not his role. However, it is his responsibility to make decisions for the club and the team’s good and, at the moment his decision is to do nothing, at least regarding the coach.
Allegri has signed a €7m-a-year deal until 2025, so it would be highly costly to sack him before the end of his contract, also considering that the Italian tactician did not take a new job after being sacked by Juventus in 2019.
Agnelli expects a reaction from players but, by doing this, it appears that he is just buying time until the end of the season.
The question is: how can the Old Lady get till June in this state? They have big games coming up in Serie A before the World Cup break. After Saturday’s away match at Lecce, they will host Inter at the Allianz Stadium, visit Verona and then face Sarri’s Lazio in Turin in the final match of the year.
Juventus won two successive games in Serie A for the first time this season beating Torino and Empoli, but need to extend their winning streak until the break to keep their Scudetto/fourth-place finish hopes alive.
If they fail to do so, Agnelli may be forced to get out of a defensive position and make a strong choice to save a season that has been a disaster so far, regardless of what Allegri says.
Italian outlet CMW claim that Antonio Conte could still return to Juventus at the end of the season from Tottenham, and if he is to go back to the Old Lady – he would want Cristian Romero to come with him; a double Juventus return.
Conte, 53, remains out of contract at the end of the season. Tottenham have the option to extend his stay for another 12 months, but whether they do that is another question. They will surely want Conte to be happy to remain at Spurs.
Another option is extending the Italian’s contract with an entirely new deal, potentially taking him beyond June 2024. But after two successive defeats, it might be that Conte is becoming disillusioned at Spurs. Cash in January would help.
Meanwhile, his old club Juventus are seriously struggling. Allegri watched his side lose to Benfica last night, knocked out of the Champions League group stages. The current Juve manager has been given a vote of confidence until June.
But at that point, Conte might not have signed a new deal and a return to Juventus might be on the cards. If he does return to Juve, the club he played for and left as manager in 2014 – CMW claim he wants Romero to come with him.
The chances are, as things stand and with Spurs so far backing Conte and sitting in third – he stays in London. Spurs may choose just to extend his contract until 2024 and by then, the feeling could be a lot greater for Conte.
But, the lure of Juventus will be tempting. The chance to rebuild his beloved club. Romero is one of Europe’s best, young defenders. The Argentina ace of course, joined Spurs from Juventus. To keep Romero, Spurs must keep Conte.

Last night, Juventus bowed out of the Champions League even if they still have one fixture to play against Paris Saint Germain next week.
While exiting Europe’s elite club competition is primarily a sporting blow for the club, it also has major consequences on the balance sheet. After all, this tournament provides its participants with significant revenues.
According to Corriere dello Sport, reaching the Champions League round of 16 would have provided Juventus with at least 30 million euros.
Furthermore, this figure would reach 50 million had the Bianconeri made it to the Semi Finals.
As the **** explains, these sums are only related to prize money. One should also add the revenues collected from the box office and merchandises.
To make matters worse, Juventus have only registered one win of out of five matches thus far. So they were only able to gain 2.8 millions out of 14M possible from win bonuses.
While the club will try to make up for the disappointment by heading to the Europa League and making a solid run in the second-rate competition, even by winning it, they would only collect a total of 20 millions.
On the other hand, reaching the Champions League group stage next season is of paramount importance, as it would provide the club with 50 millions at the very least.
Otherwise, the management will probably be forced to downsize the project even further.

Following the Bianconeri’s infuriating 4-3 defeat to Portuguese giants Benfica, which eliminated them from the Champions League, Juventus boss Allegri touched upon his thoughts regarding the fixture.
Despite Dusan Vlahovic scoring from point-blank range to seal the equalizer, it was far from enough to shift the tide within the match.
A hand-ball from full-back Juan Cuadrado allowed the former Inter midfielder Joao Mario to notch a goal from the penalty spot. In addition, some horrendous defending from Leonardo Bonucci paved the way for Rafa to tally a brace.
Although the young prospect Samuel Iling-Junior provided energy on the pitch and almost inspired a comeback as he set up two goals after being subbed onto the field within the 70th minute, it wasn’t enough for Juventus to cross the finish line as they were eliminated within the Group Stage for the first time since 2013.
In an interview with Dazn, as relayed by Ialian news outlet Tuttomercatoweb, the Tuscan tactician expressed his emotions after being eliminated very early within the Champions League:
“Tonight you had to stay inside the game, because then the chances came, even in a bad first half every time we threw the ball into the box you had the feeling of being able to hurt. We were sorry, Soulé could scoring and maybe we would have done the last few minutes with the hope of winning. However, the elimination certainly does not come for tonight’s match “
In addition, the gaffer explained how Juventus will reset going forward throughout the rest of the campaign:
“We start again thinking about the championship, then also about the Europa League because we are not yet in it. Miretti has already played 12 games, Soulé is growing, Iling is with us for a month: they have enthusiasm and recklessness and this can do us good”

The Times have revealed that Tottenham target Weston McKennie is willing to leave Juventus when the transfer window reopens in January.
Multiple reports from Italy have revealed over recent weeks that Spurs hold a strong interest in McKennie and that Fabio Paratici could look to raid his former club once again for the USA international (Calciomercato).
It has also been suggested recently that Juventus may be open to cashing in on the midfielder as they need to raise funds to make a move for Atletico Madrid’s Rodrigo De Paul in January (Il Bianconero).

Opinion: Three takeaways from Juve’s UCL elimination in Lisbon
Well, we all saw it coming. Juventus bowed out of the Champions League after sustaining their fourth defeat in five group stage outings.
To be honest, the writing has been on the wall since the second matchday when our home defeat to Benfica saw us trailing by six points already, while the humiliating loss in Haifa all but confirmed the inevitable.
The Bianconeri were comprehensively outplayed by Benfica who at one point were extremely close to extending their 4-1 lead.
Instead, Max Allegri’s men made one last attempt for an unlikely comeback, but it proved be too little too late, with the final result showing 4-3.
So here are our three takeaways from Juve’s poor performance in Lisbon.
Stick a Fork
Leonardo Bonucci is the last remnant of the so-called old guard which oversaw the club’s nine-year winning dynasty. However, it’s time to make a blunt assessment: The man is done.
This is the sad reality that is becoming plainly obvious with every fresh outing. Nowadays, the 35-year is unable to cope with the pace of his younger opponents, nor pull off the simplest of interceptions.
These days, Gleison Bremer and Danilo are the only reliable defenders we have at the back. Federico Gatti still has a long way to prove himself worthy of Juventus, but at least he has major room for improvement.
Let’s focus on these guys, shall we?
Kostic Unrewarded
The Old Lady’s performance in the first half was nothing short of abysmal, but Filip Kostic had to be the lone bright spark in the team, while also exhausting himself by tracking back to support his teammates at the back.
The Serbian managed to work himself into crossing positions on the left wing and provided one dangerous ball after the other, but his teammates up front spectacularly wasted them.
His corner kick led to the opener, but he surely left the field feeling that his performance went unrewarded, as he deserved to have one or two assists to his name.
Youth Invasion?
If Kostic’s plays were wasted, then his replacement was credited with creating two goals. We’re talking about Samuel Iling-Junior who caused havoc on the left wing, prompting Juve’s late resurgence.
Alongside Fabio Miretti and Matias Soulè, the Englishman added some rhythm to the the Bianconeri’s play, something that the senior players failed to do for the majority of the match.
This should definitely be taken as a clear indication regarding the need to trust youngsters more often rather than thrusting them on the Hail Mary.
But at this point, we all know better. We know how things go at Juventus, and we know how Allegri rolls, so surely we’re not holding high hopes on a youth invasion.
So let’s just cheer on Bonucci and Cuadrado in the next one!
