Thiago Motta has urged Federico Chiesa to find a new club as soon as possible after making it clear he will not be part of his plans at Juventus.
After a successful season at Bologna, Motta replaced Massimiliano Allegri at Juve and is preparing to put his stamp on the club ahead of the upcoming Serie A campaign.
In an attempt to update the squad, the Italian has targeted a list of players he expects to depart before the end of the transfer window.
Chiesa, who joined Juventus from Fiorentina in October 2020, is one of those on the list after failing to put pen to paper on a contract extension offered to him at the end of last season.
Motta had hinted in the past that the 26-year-old could be on his way out of Turin, but after leaving him out for a pre-seas…

Kean took his first football steps at the academy of Torino, and joined their city rivals still at youth level. After entering the senior squad at the club, he was sent to Hellas Verona on loan, and in the summer of 2019, Everton paid a reported sum of €27.5 million to take him to the Premier League. The Englis…
Mikel Arteta says Arsenal are heading into the most important part of the season ahead of their Premier League clash with Burnley.
The title-chasing Gunners currently sit third, two points behind leaders Liverpool, after extending their impressive run to four straight league wins following a dominant 6-0 victory at West Ham.
Arteta highlighted the importance of claiming three points at Turf Moor and to keep up their consistent form during the final 14 league matches.

Bayern Munich suffered a real shock at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday evening, going out of the Champions League in the semifinals with a pair of late goals from Real substitute Joselu overturning Bayern s lead gained through a fine Alphonso Davies strike.
To make matters worse, they were obviously wronged by the officials at the very end. De Ligt himself put the ball in the back of the net in the 13th minute of stoppage time, but only after referee Szymon Marcziniak blew his whistle due to a linesman s flag being raised. The linesman had believed Noussair Mazraoui was offside in the buildup and hurried to raise the flag, not waiting for the attack to end as he should ve done. The whistle going before the ball hit the back of the net rendered the VAR incapable of checking t…
Christian Gunter was lost for words after his Freiburg side were thumped 6-0 by Wolfsburg on their return to Bundesliga action on Saturday.
Freiburg entered the two-month break second only to Bayern Munich in the table after winning four of their final five league games of 2022.
But any thoughts of possibly rivalling 10-in-a-row champions Bayern were put into perspective by Wolfsburg at the Volkswagen Arena.
Christian Streich s side were behind after just 59 seconds through a Patrick Wimmer strike, before Jonas Wind s double put the hosts in complete control before half-time.
Yannick Gerhardt and Ridle Baku joined the scoresheet in the second half, and Luca Waldschmidt beat Mark Flekken from the penalty spot to complete the scoring.

Laura Coombs says it would be “the stuff of dreams” if her England renaissance continues with a place in the squad for this summer’s World Cup.
The Manchester City midfielder, 32, returned to the international fold when she was called up by Lionesses boss Sarina Wiegman in February.
That was her first involvement since a training camp in 2020 under Phil Neville, and she had not played for her country since winning the two caps she had to her name in 2015 under Mark Sampson.
Coombs subsequently played twice at the Arnold Clark Cup and was then included in Wiegman’s squad for April’s matches against Brazil and Australia, for which she was an unused substitute.
On the possibility of making the next squad, for the European champions’ World Cup cam…
Harry Kane will head to the World Cup as England captain bolstered by a new six-year contract with Tottenham.
The deal is a major coup for Spurs as they prepare to return to White Hart Lane next season, with their academy product having established himself as one of the most lethal strikers in world football over recent seasons.
He joins manager Mauricio Pochettino in committing his future to the club and the duo will have their sights on plotting the downfall of numerous defences at home and abroad when 2018-19 rolls around.
With some help from Opta, we look at how Kane s performances and prolific returns sit alongside with the greats of the game and within Premier League history.
Very happy to sign a new contract with ! Looking forward to kicking on aga…
Luis Suarez is wanted by Liga MX side Cruz Azul, with the Mexican outfit s president confirming they have been in negotiations with the Uruguay international.
The veteran striker is a free agent, after his contract with boyhood club Nacional expired, leaving him in search of a new team for 2023 and beyond.
Having spent most of his career in Europe, Suarez s return to Uruguay – where he helped his new side to a first league championship in over a decade – suggests he could remain west of the Atlantic.
Now Cruz Azul are looking to bring him on board for the Clausura 2023 campaign, starting January 6, with president Victor Velazquez confirming speculation they are pursuing a move.
I don t have any news for you yet, but we ve been in negotiations, he to…
Erik ten Hag s arrival at Manchester United last year began a process of culture reset. For years, the club allowed big egos to inflate, and the team s mentality to shrink, while an arrogant hierarchy seemingly assumed waving big cheques guaranteed success.
Ten Hag has taken steps to fix all of the above, and in the roughly eight months since he began working in May, the difference has been significant.
There was no spirit, Ten Hag said last week. I saw no team dynamic in the squad. The mental resilience was very low. I saw that as an outsider – and also noticed it in my first weeks at the club.
I looked at the culture of the club. I asked, how did Manchester United become great? . The club has bought an unimaginable number of players in recent years who have…
Italy secured a routine 4-0 victory over Malta to keep the pressure on England in Group C of the Euro 2024 qualifiers.
Giacomo Bonaventura opened the scoring for the Italians for his first-ever international goal and Domenico Berardi then scored twice – either side of half-time – before Davide Frattesi added a fourth in added time.
Ukraine picked up an important three points in a bid for their group-stage hopes after they ran out 2-0 winners over North Macedonia.
Ukraine opened the scoring in rather fortunate fashion as an Heorhiy Sudakov effort from outside the area was heavily deflected into the net to make it 1-0.
The Ukrainians had to wait till stoppage time to rubber stamp the points when Oleksandr Karavayev spotted goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski …
