A new shiny ‘exclusive’ update from none other than The Sun claims that the Turin club have made Rashford their “No. 1 transfer target.” The word is that Juve are stepping up plans to land Rashford and are “desperate to secure” his signature in time for the start of the season.

Juventus have identified Bayern Leverkusen holding mid-fielder Granit Xhaka as an ideal candidate to bolster the midfield. La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that with the Bianconeri set to part ways with former West Ham midfielder Douglas Luiz after a difficult first season in Turin, coach Igor Tudor’s side turn towards the former Arsenal skipper as the Croatian tactician seeks a flexible, dynamic, and highly skilled in both phases of the game. Sandro Tonali remains the dream signing, but with his lucrative price-tag and the Italian international inching closer towards extending his stay with Newcastle United, it remains unlikely for the former Milan midfielder to be sold this summer from the Magpies.

That’s according to Spanish journalist Eduardo Inda, who points towards Endrick as the player at the heart of the discussions. Frontman Endrick is for his part of course fresh off something of a hit-and-miss debut campaign in Spain’s capital.

Dusan Vlahovic set to miss Monza game due to thigh injury

Dusan Vlahovic participates in the Serie A 2024-2025 match between Juventus and Lecce in Turin, Italy, on April 12, 2025. When Dusan Vlahovic was subbed off at the half of Juventus’ loss to Parma on Wednesday, it at first appeared to be a tactical choice by Igor Tudor following a tough first half for his No. 9. But once Tudor took the mic after his first loss as Juve manager, we found out it was for a very different reason. On Thursday, Vlahovic became the latest player to stroll through the doors at J Medical following an injury he suffered the day before. And the end verdict of said tests? The short answer: Every sign points to us not seeing Vlahovic this weekend when Juventus host last-place Monza on Sunday at the Allianz Stadium. Beyond that, it could very well be anybody’s guess...

Igor Tudor participates in the Serie A 2024-2025 match between Juventus and Lecce in Turin, Italy, on April 12, 2025.
