Danilo's late goal saves Juventus from defeat against Atalanta

MDP Live - Danilo secured a point for Juventus, who trailed Atalanta due to Ruslan Malinovsyi's beautiful goal at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia, Monday (14/2).

The Bianconeri travel to Bergamo determined to secure fourth place in Serie A, having made it through to the last four as La Dea went down to a shock 2-1 loss to Cagliari last week.

Dusan Vlahovic, who scored on his Juve debut last week, was the immediate threat after just three minutes. But his efforts can still be saved by goalkeeper Marco Sportiello.

Paulo Dybala had a golden opportunity to pass the ball to Vlahovic, who was standing in the more advantageous position but preferred to shoot and the ball ended up in the back of the net.

But Juve almost conceded in the 32nd minute, when Wojciech Szczesny decided to come out of his cage to seal the movement of Teun Koopmeiners. The ball went to Luis Muriel but his shot was blocked by Leonardo Bonucci.

The referee had time to monitor via VAR about the possibility of Szczesny committing a serious foul that deserved a red card, but decided not to send the Polish goalkeeper.

Just before half-time, Matthijs de Ligt made two brilliant saves to block a shot from Jeremie Boga and keep the scoreline level at half-time.

In the second half, Dybala made a fine through ball for Alvaro Morata. But the Spanish striker was not able to finish it.

On the other side of the pitch, Atalanta opened the scoring with a magical moment when Ruslan Malinovsyi's free-kick from 20 meters hit the top corner which Szczesny couldn't stop.

The battle was still open after that, but La Dea actually had a chance to double the score, sealing victory over Juve in the 84th minute. Unfortunately, Hans Hateboer's volley hit the crossbar instead.

Entering injury time, Juventus even managed to score an equalizer, when the execution of Dybala's corner hit Danilo's head in the 92nd minute.

With this result, the position of the two teams in the standings remains unchanged, with Massimiliano Allegri's side still two points ahead of Gian Piero Gasperini's side, who still have one match left.

Scores a goal in debut match, Dusan Vlahovic thanks the team

MDP Live - Dusan Vlahovic praised Juventus' attitude as a team, after scoring a goal in his debut match against Hellas Verona, Monday (7/2).

I Bianconeri pushed into the top four of the Serie A standings after winning 2-0 at the Allianz Stadium last night.

It was the debut match of Dusan Vlahovic and Denis Zakaria who signed at the end of the January transfer window, and both immediately marked his presence at Juventus by scoring a goal each.

Vlahovic is indeed expected to be a goal machine, having scored 33 goals throughout 2021 and then scoring 17 goals at Fiorentina on the Serie A stage this season.

"This is a very important game to win, because the game after the international break is the toughest, especially mentally," Vlahovic told DAZN.

"We had the right approach from the start and that was the most important thing, which is to win."

After scoring his 18th goal of the season, the Serbian striker thanked his team-mates, as well as the coach, for helping him.

"I have to thank my team-mates and the coach for helping me over the last few days. I'm also trying to understand as quickly as possible, about how things work. I'm trying my best," said the 22-year-old forward.

"The most important thing for strikers is to score goals, but I want to improve my overall game, beat defenders and help the team as best as I can."

Curious? This is how Juventus signed Dusan Vlahovic from Fiorentina

MDP Live - Dusan Vlahovic's transfer from Fiorentina to Juventus seems to be just a matter of time. Various reliable sources such as Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano and Sky Sports Italia have reported on the transfer.

Vlahovic was brought in for a transfer fee of 75 million euros or IDR 1.2 trillion. In addition, Juventus also agreed to pay the 21-year-old player's salary which is 7 million euros per season.

The question of the transfer fee also arose later. Yes, the public is wondering how Juventus paid for such an expensive transfer.

Quoted from Italian Football, Juventus is likely to repay Vlahovic's transfer fee for the next few years. This method has previously been used by Juventus when signing Federico Chiesa and Manuel Locatelli.

In addition, Juventus also relies on financial projections for next season. The Bianconeri-Juventus-nickname- want to ensure a place in the Champions League 2022/23 season.

For this reason, the transfer of Vlahovic is considered necessary in order to strengthen the team for the rest of the season. By getting into the Champions League, Juventus can at least pocket 80 million euros per season.

Pay Cuts and Release of Some Players

On the other hand, Juventus management is also rumored to be planning to cut the salaries of several players. Juventus have also prepared the sale of players.

So far, there are Aaron Ramsey, Paulo Dybala, and Alvaro Morata who are reportedly set to leave. Ramsey is estimated by Newcastle, Dybala is rumored to be going to Inter Milan.

Meanwhile, Barcelona is said to be interested in signing Morata.

Dybala's salary

Of the three, Dybala's chances may be big enough to leave. The reason is, the player nicknamed La Joya is paid 10 million euros per season.

By releasing Dybala, Juventus means releasing a fairly large financial burden.

Refusing a new contract, Barcelona immediately sells Ousmane Dembele to Juventus or MU

MDP Live - Barcelona have received confirmation from Ousmane Dembele. The French winger refused a contract extension offered by Barca.

In recent weeks, Barcelona have tried to seek a new contract for Ousmane Dembele. As per Xavi Hernandez's recommendation, this player must be retained.

But Dembele's demands were too great. He refused to accept the offer of a pay cut and insisted on his initial request.

The problem is, Dembele also refuses to be sold this January. He wants to be sold for free when his contract expires on June 30.

This condition certainly will not be taken by Barcelona. Reportedly there are two clubs that have been monitoring Dembele, namely Juventus and Manchester United.

Dembele's Request

Dembele has rejected a new offer from Barcelona. He believes that he has become one of the best players in the world so he must be paid properly.

As reported by sport, Dembele asked for a salary of 500 million euros or 100 million euros per season plus 20 million euros for agents and 20 million euros in bonuses for extending the contract.

Bad

Barcelona must immediately find a buyer for Dembele. Based on statistics, Dembele's appearance is far from expectations.

He has only scored 1 goal in 11 matches he has played. The goal was also obtained against the weak club Linares.

He scored 2 assists and only had four shots on target. Barca certainly need more than this.

Dembele's career

Dembele is a footballer of French and Senegalese descent. The player who was born on May 15, 1997 started his career with Rennes before finally joining Borussia Dortmund in 2016.

Dembele's career skyrocketed so quickly. In just 3 years, he has been ogled by Barcelona, ​​which has kept him until now.

Heats up, Juventus withdraws new contract offer for Paulo Dybala!

MDP Live - The relationship between Juventus and Paulo Dybala is increasingly tenuous. The Italian giants are reportedly ready to let the player leave for free this summer.

As is known, Dybala's contract with Juventus expires on June 30, 2021. And starting this January, he has been allowed to enter into pre-contracts with other clubs who are interested in his services.

A few months ago, news emerged that the club and Dybala had reached an agreement. It is stated that Dybala will receive a fee of eight million euros plus two million euros in performance bonuses.

But in recent weeks, the situation has gotten even more messy. Discussions should also be postponed until February or March, as Dybala said after helping Juventus beat Udinese recently.

"I don't have to prove anything to anyone. I am ready to help the coach and the club. My contract? The club said we would talk about it in February," he told DAZN, via Football Italia.

Would you like Dybala to leave

In the match against Udinese, Dybala showed his dissatisfaction with the club management. He didn't do his signature 'Dybala Mask' celebration and just looked at the audience with a sharp gaze.

The gesture confirmed that the relationship between him and the club was strained. Juventus are clearly acting but not by following his wage demands, but readiness to let him go at the end of the season.

Sky Sport Italia reports that Juventus are withdrawing the salary package that was agreed with the player a few months ago. They then offered a new contract with a lower nominal salary than before.

Juventus took a very bold step. They believe that Dybala is not getting a luxury contract offer from interested clubs. But if their guess is wrong, then Dybala can leave on a free transfer.

Who are Dybala fans?

Dybala fans are known not to be twisted rich clubs like PSG or Manchester City. Some reports say that Dybala only attracts the attention of clubs such as Tottenham Hotspur, Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan.

Tottenham are known to be stingy in spending money, while Barcelona are still bothered with salary cap matters. Atletico Madrid's finances are also tight due to Antoine Griezmann's high salary, plus his status must be made permanent at the end of this season.

Inter Milan is said to be the club that is most interested in Dybala. However, according to a report by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Nerazzurri are not interested in paying Dybala a nominal 10 million euros per season as Juventus had previously proposed.
