The Turin side are looking to sign another shot-stopper this summer after Gianluigi Buffon confirmed he will leave at the end of the season and is now expected to sign for Paris Saint-Germain. Perin, 25, has been linked to Juve recently after Genoa president Enrico Preziosi revealed the Serie A champions and Napoli had enquired about him. Juventus director Giuseppe Marotta insisted last week that his side had made no approach for him while also dismissing talk of the Bianconeri making an offer for AC Milan’s troubled teenage shot-stopper Gianluigi Donnarumma....

Allegri took over the role of being the Old Lady’s manager after Antonio Conte left. It has been five years since the 51-year-old joined the club in 2014....

The ’new Yaya Toure’: Who is Franck Kessie? The Ivory Coast international has attracted interest from the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea throughout his brief spell in senior football. Kessie spent last season on loan at Cesena in Serie B, quickly becoming a key player as they finished sixth in the second tier, earning a spot in the promotion playoffs. He has wasted no time in cementing his place as a key player this season in Atalanta’s first team, starting the league campaign with four goals in the first three weeks....

Costa, 27, moved to Juve in 2017 on loan after falling out with the Bayern board and then-coach Carlo Ancelotti over a reduction in playing time. The Brazil international racked up 47 appearances in all competitions, helping the Old Lady to a seventh consecutive Serie A title and the Coppa Italia while also playing a key role in their trip to the Champions League semi-finals. And that impressive debut season has been rewarded as the Italian giants chose to exercise the purchase option in the initial loan deal agreed with Die Roten....

Pellegrini joined Juve at the end of June as part of the deal that took Leonardo Spinazzola to Roma, with the 20-year-old costing the Old Lady €22million.

There have also been reports claiming coach Maurizio Sarri is not entirely convinced by the youngster, who spent part of last season on loan at Cagliari....

The Brazilian proclaimed this week that it had been his best season yet as a Camp Nou player, although Champions League success eluded Barcelona and they’re underdogs to finish above Real Madrid in La Liga with one game to go.

It was that momentous 2003 French Open semi-final match where she gained a lot of admirers, lost a chunk of her fan following and I discovered Justine Henin-Hardenne. Justine, the ever placid and stoic girl from Liege in Belgium, had reached the Wimbledon final in 2001 and had been gradually threatening the seemingly impervious empire of Serena Williams, along with her compatriot Kim Clijsters. The mighty Serena had just completed the self-coined ‘Serena Slam’ by capturing four consecutive Major titles from the 2002 French Open to the 2003 Australian Open....

Nearly half a million troops and their families are based in Kaliningrad, along with a sizable nuclear arsenal....
