After being held to a 1-1 draw by Lecce and missing out on a fifth straight win, Juventus wasted no time in responding. Just three days later, they produced a commanding display in Reggio Emilia, defeating Sassuolo 3-0. Jonathan David finally broke his Serie A scoring duck with a cathartic strike, making amends for his costly penalty miss against Lecce. That goal capped a performance that underlined Juve's growing confidence under Luciano Spalletti, who has overseen eight wins in their last 10 matches
We need to improve our choices in the box. We put the ball into dangerous areas many times, both in the first and second half, but we never found the right touch to redirect it. That's where we have to grow. We played a good match, a very good match. The result always makes the difference, of course, but there were clear steps forward in our performance. David is a penalty taker, and he takes them very well. He made the right choice, going down the middle; he just didn't lift it enough.
Juventus are interested in signing Gonzalo Garcia from Real Madrid in the January transfer window, according to . The Bianconeri are anticipating the departure of Dusan Vlahovic, leading to the Italian giants' interest in Garcia. Vlahovic is out of contract at Juventus at the end of the season. There is no new contract in place, which means that, as things stand, the Serbia international striker will become a free agent next summer.
As the cameras panned around the stands of San Siro, an interesting attendee was spotted: Andrea Agnelli, the former chairman of Juventus. As Tuttosport report, Angelli - who was a central figure in a winning era for Juventus - was spotted in the stands watching Milan-Verona alongside Hugh Grant, and in the same section with Scaroni, Baresi, Enrico Letta, Tare, Furlani and new signing Fullkrug.
"It's nice to be here together, all part of a big family. We are here in our museum that celebrates Juventus' history. It's important for you to know it, because you are now part of it. You are becoming an increasingly strong group and team, and you are all crucial in helping Juventus win again. Victory is the expression of what you do every day, and for this I want to thank the staff, the team, the captain, the coach, all the directors and your families who are here."
For Juventus, the appeal is clear. The Bianconeri are keen to add balance to their defensive unit and have prioritised the signing of a left-footed central defender who can operate comfortably in a high line and build play from the back. Senesi's profile fits that brief well. Strong in duels, composed in possession, and experienced at both domestic and international level, he is seen as a player who could slot into Serie A seamlessly.
