Victory and qualification to the Italian Cup quarterfinals for Juventus, which had no problem in firing away at home to Udinese with a 2-0 win that admitted no replays. At’Allianz Stadium, unlocking the match came an unfortunate own-goal by the 2008-born Palma who, in an attempt to anticipate David, mocked his own goalkeeper Sava in a slip. Beyond the’episode, the Friulians also disappointed as a reaction, hardly ever putting their noses into the opponent’s half of the field.

Double blow from Bayern Munich: Juventus dreams big
The Bianconeri society is reasoning the feasibility of the stellar negotiation…
Uve would like to bring Sacha Boey and Serge Gnabry to Turin.

If the right offer arrives, the Bavarians will be willing to deprive themselves of Boey as early as January
The replacement has already been chosen: it is Givairo Read of Feyenoord
If Boey does not move in January, he will leave Germany in the summer
Much more complicated the'Juventus-Serge Gnabry operation.
The footballer is on contract expiration but draws a very high salary
Bayern Munich is willing to continue with him provided he significantly reduces his economic demands
Juventus cannot afford Gnabry's current salary: the footballer should make a big sacrifice
On the tracks of the'striker there are also some English clubs

Juventus Director of Football Strategy Giorgio Chiellini spoke to Mediaset microphones ahead of the Old Lady&#8217s Coppa Italia match against Udinese. Inevitable was a question about Yildiz&#8217s renewal, which continues to hold sway: “We are not surprised by how much he is doing, there&#8217s great esteem and appreciation for him. He is such a special player who needs a little bit more time than the others, he has a long-term contract and we are convinced that he will be part of Juventus in the future”. One of the issues of the moment is definitely the injury of Dusan Vlahovic, who will be out for about three months: “It&#8217s a major absence, we are sorry, I wish him a speedy recovery: it&#8217s an opportunity for others to play”.

David, therefore, is expected to stay in Turin and will have a chance to play his cards right from the Italian Cup competition, with more space in general anyway and less direct competition. Together with Lois Openda, however, the Canadian will have to confirm what he has shown only in flashes (for example, with the winning goal in the Champions League against Bodo/Glimt), in a department that needs continuity. On the Vlahovic front, the injury and long absence make the contract situation even more delicate. Renewal negotiations have been at a standstill for months and the gap between supply and demand appears difficult to bridge.

Juventus is in danger of losing him on a zero-parameter basis, and given the stoppage just as the winter market is getting underway, it will take a twist for that not to happen.
