Juventus is looking for three consecutive victories, the lineup is strengthened, Juventus intends to chase Barcelona defender again

One day later, Juventus will fight Manchester City under Guardiola's leadership.

The record of the last confrontation between the two teams occurred last season. On December 12, 2024, Juventus defeated Manchester City 2-0 with goals from Flahovic and McKennie, giving Juventus fans a surprise victory gift.

The Juventus players are full of expectations for tomorrow's "first-ranking battle" with Manchester City. Digregorio and Ilditz both expressed their desire for victory on their personal social media. If they can beat Manchester City, Juventus will win three consecutive games in the group, thus avoiding meeting Real Madrid in advance in the knockout round, thus ensuring that they can go further in this Club World Cup.

In the special transfer window of the Club World Cup, Manchester City signed four generals, Cherki, Reindez, Bettinelli and Nouri, among which Cherki, Nouri and Reindez have made their debut in the previous two rounds of the game. At that time, the Juventus defense line led by Digregorio is very likely to feel the threat from the three in the direct dialogue between the two teams.

Of course, the biggest star in Manchester City's team is still Haaland. In the last game where Manchester City beat Ain 6-0, Haaland scored a penalty and gave Cherki an assist in the final stage, and his condition has recovered as visible to the naked eye.

In addition, there are many experts in Manchester City's team, and the strength of stars such as Marmush, Gundogan, Savignho and Doku cannot be underestimated. If Juventus wants to win three points, he may have to make great efforts.

Before the game, bad news came from Juventus!

Kossen Xiao developed muscle fatigue after the second round and is currently actively adjusting to recover. Tudor and Juventus coaching staff will evaluate his physical condition at any time. If he cannot appear in the game against Manchester City, Gonzalez may win a chance to play.

According to the "Milan Sports" report, Tudor may give Vlahovic and Locatelli the opportunity to start against Manchester City. For Vlahovic, this may be an excellent opportunity to save himself.

Some Juventus fans are also concerned about the future of Juventus defender Rugani. In the first two rounds of the group stage, Rugani sat on the bench and did not get one minute of playing time. Italian media believe that Rugani, who cannot get the trust of Juventus coaching staff, may leave Juventus this summer, and several Serie A and Premier League teams have expressed interest in him.

The team's signing trend

According to the Daily Sports Daily, Barcelona central defender Araujo, who has close ties with Juventus in the winter window this year, has once again entered Juventus's signing vision. However, it is not easy for Juventus to sign Araujo. Araujo, who just renewed his contract with Barcelona until 2031, is currently worth 35 million euros, and his annual salary before tax is 12.5 million euros. However, Juventus, who is "cautious", is only willing to offer a transfer fee of up to 30 million euros to introduce him, which disappoints the Barcelona management.

The transfer of Xiao Wei'a and Mbangula to join Nottingham Forest is progressing steadily. Mbangula is very excited about being able to play in the Premier League, but Xiao Wei'a still wants to go further in annual salary negotiations and is expected to reach an agreement with the forest management soon. The total transfer fee for the two to join Nottingham Forest is around 23 million euros. Such a low price will inevitably arouse dissatisfaction among Juventus fans.

The biggest obstacle to Sancho's journey to join Juventus is still the "gold dollar". Juventus has considered using the old method of loan + buyout to chase Sancho again. At the same time, Sancho also has to accept a significant salary cut. Juventus is waiting for Sancho's reply. If Sancho is unwilling to make concessions in the annual salary negotiation, Juventus will withdraw from the competition for him.

In addition, the 26-year-old Inter Milan wing Augusto was also recommended to Juventus by Italian media, but Juventus' pursuit of him is only at the inspection stage. Since Cambiaso will renew his contract with Juventus after the end of this Club World Cup, it means that it will be difficult for Augusto to join Juventus this summer. (Liu Duan)
