Oppenda is ready but Georgrova cannot fight Inter Milan, Comoli: Juventus is stronger after the summer window

The Turin Sports reported that Juventus has determined Ademora Lukeman as the primary target of replacing Vlahovic, and the Serbian striker is expected to leave next summer.

According to the Turin Sports News, the Zebras turned their attention to Atlanta striker Lukeman, seeing him as his preferred target to replace Vlahovic. The Serbian's contract with Juventus expires next summer, and the two sides have not agreed on terms for renewal, so the club is naturally looking for a replacement.

Lukeman forced Atalanta to transfer to Inter this summer, but failed to succeed. He was "banned" by the real blue and black man, but is expected to return to the team after international matches this month to resume training.

But obviously, considering that Lukeman's contract with Atlanta expires in June 2027, he is also expected to leave Bergamo and may even leave the team in January. Juventus will keep an eye on his situation while looking for other possible targets.

The Turin Sports Daily revealed that Lukeman's teammate Scarmaca is also on Juventus' agenda, including Santiago Castro, Matteo Pellegrino, Gonzalo Ramos, Emmanuel Emmega, George Ilanickner and Joshua Zilkze.

Kosovo winger Edon Gergrova is "proud" for joining Juventus, but admits that he still needs to be fully healthy, "I will be on the court soon." '

Gergrova transfers to the Zebras from Lille the day before the summer transfer window closed, and held a press conference at Allianz Arena this Thursday. The Kosovo international said: "I am very happy and proud that I have had a good life in the first few days here. ”

26-year-old Gegrova will reunite with former Lille teammate Jonathan David, who joined the Zebras as a free agent this summer. "The club convinced me that I have always been eager to join a big club, and this project convinced me. ”

"I know David, I know his strength, and the team is also very strong, I think I can contribute. When I first talked to Comoli and Chiellini, I was delighted with their interest. This is a dream come true. ”

Gegrova has been slugging high-free cards since December 2024 due to an adductor injury, but he believes he will be able to return to the field soon. "I have experienced a difficult period physically, but now I feel much better. I've started working hard to stay in my best shape again, the staff are helping me and I think I'll be ready and able to play soon. ”

This means that Georgrova cannot participate in the Italian national derby against Inter Milan this Saturday, “I can’t play the game yet, I still need to work hard. I know the importance of this game and I will support the team. ”

The talented winger impressed Juventus fans in the Champions League match where Lille drew 1-1 with the Old Women a year ago. “It was always great when I played with them and an opportunity to show our value. But that era is over now and I'm so glad to be here, everyone is making this transformation easy. I'm so happy to be a member of Juventus and can't wait. ”

, Juventus' new player Lois Oppenda also attended the press conference. This is the first time that the Belgian international has officially accepted a media interview as a Juventus jersey since joining the RB Leipzig.

Oppenda said: "This is an easy choice. When I talked to Comoli, it was all very simple. There were a lot of top players here in the past, like Zlatan, who I could draw inspiration from. ”

Juventus will face Inter Milan at home this Saturday, and Oppenda said he is ready for the Nerazzurri, "just like the whole team." "The Belgian added: "My position is No. 9, I've been playing there, but I also like to play on the side, move left and right, run around. "

Openda said: "I talked to the head coach and he knew I prefer the No. 9 position, but I am very flexible. Let's see what happens in the next game, and I can play football anywhere he wants me to show up. I need to work hard in some ways and be a more comprehensive striker, but I believe I will learn and improve and become more comprehensive. ”

But Oppenda admits that the Zebras have many excellent strikers, “I won’t play every game”, but he remains focused, “I’m always ready to play when I need it. ”

Before joining, Oppenda had an intersection with Juventus: in the Champions League last season, he caused Brazilian defender Bremer torn the cruciate ligament, and was finally reimbursed in advance in the season. Oppenda said: "I know what happened." I talked to him and sent him a message saying that this was not my intention. I've only been here for two days, so we have time to talk. He is a great man and a great football player. ”

Finally, Oppenda summarized his career: “I played in France, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. I have played for many teams and learned from each league. Now I'm in Italy, and this is the best club I can contribute. I was so happy to be here and couldn't wait to start. ”

Juventus general manager Damien Comooli believes that the team is "stronger" after the summer transfer window is supplemented, and denied that he had a dispute with Paris Saint-Germain about Kloe Muani's transfer, "that's a lie."

Comooli attended a press conference with Gegrova and Oppenda on Thursday. He first said: "I want to thank the players who left us, thank them for all their contributions and everything they have brought to the club, and we wish them all the best.. We are trying to balance the financial side, especially the economic side related to fair play, with building a competitive team, while also seeking to strengthen. I think we did it and found the right balance. ”

Openda joined the Zebras on loan, while Gegrova was a permanent transfer from Lille. "We have the option to buy out Oppenda, and we signed David, Concesan and Gegrova, one of the key goals is to maintain the backbone of the team. ”

"We were excited about Edon and Lois, and I admire Edon's creativity when I was in Toulouse, and his ability to make things happen, which is exactly what we wanted. Then there is Lois's shooting ability, his performance and running skills at different positions in the court. ”

Comoli then explained why Juventus waited until the last moment to complete the two signings, because they had only introduced Jonathan David and Joao Mario before. “We are not going to sign the players on the last day, we have been waiting for Nico to transfer to Atletico Madrid, which is why we found ourselves late. "

" They were very patient and devoted, we negotiated with Loyce for weeks and then finalized everything in the last few hours. There are several factors to consider and we believe his playing style is ideal for us. ”

Juventus general manager denied a dispute with PSG about Muani’s transfer. The French striker was determined to return to Torino this summer, but the old woman refused to meet Paris Saint-Germain’s request, so they signed Oppenda, while Muani joined Tottenham on loan.

"I have read articles about the so-called discussion with the president of Paris Saint-Germain, which is fake, it is a lie, and some people are trying to manipulate a situation that does not exist. I've always been supported by big clubs, and I've always had a good relationship with them, so have Paris Saint-Germain. We successfully closed the transfer window and felt stronger. We believe we can be competitive and achieve results. We are also one of the youngest teams in Serie A, which is intentional. ”

Comoli concluded: “I am very satisfied with the way we manage the transfer market, and I thank the team bosses for their commitment to the transfer window, their presence, efforts and availability are excellent. I have been encouraged to push myself further and achieve our goals, which demonstrates their extraordinary commitment and dedication to the club. ”

IlBianconero reported that at present, Juventus winger Francisco Concesan and midfielder Fabio Mireti will still be doubtful whether they can play for coach Tudor against Inter Milan.

According to IlBianconero, the two players seem unlikely to catch up with the Italian national derby, and Mireti will almost certainly miss the game. As for Conce, who suffered a muscle injury in the Portuguese national team San, although this seems to be more of a preventive measure than a serious injury, it is doubtful whether he can play in Inter Milan.

The two players are conducting personal recovery plans in Continentasa to return to Tudor's large team as soon as possible. Mireti suffered a muscle injury in a pre-season friendly against Juventus' Next Generation and missed the first two games of Juventus' 2025-26 season.

At the pre-match press conference tonight, Tudor is expected to reveal more details in an interview with the media.
