Juventus will pay 46.8 million dollars to a German club due to a buy clause. The club currently sits in fourth place in Serie A with six rounds remaining.
Under coach Luciano Spalletti, Juventus has averaged 1.96 points per game. They remain unbeaten in their last six Serie A matches, recording four clean sheets during that span.
Juventus has not lost a league game to Bologna in over 15 years. Their last encounter saw Juventus narrowly defeat Atalanta 1-0.
Manuel Locatelli recently extended his contract with Juventus until June 30, 2030. He has made 224 appearances, scoring 9 goals and providing 17 assists.
Dusan Vlahovic is ruled out with a calf problem, and Arkadiusz Milik could be sidelined until the end of the season due to a thigh injury. Yet, Juventus remains focused on their goal of Champions League qualification.
Bologna has not beaten Juventus in 27 top-flight contests since February 2011. This historical dominance adds pressure as both teams prepare for their next match.
“Juventus has always been my childhood dream,” said Locatelli. “For me, being here is a double thrill because I’m joining a very strong and important club.” His commitment reflects the ambition within the squad.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the impact of injuries on upcoming matches. Observers expect Juventus to leverage their strong defensive record as they push for European competition next season.
