Juventus, our history and our values are not for sale,

The future of Bernardo Silva in the Premier League has become uncertain, with reports from Calciomercato claiming that Juventus and AC Milan have both made initial contact with the Manchester City playmaker over a potential summer transfer. The Portuguese international's contract with City is set to expire at the end of the season, putting several top clubs on alert as he edges closer to free agency.

Hellas Verona forward Giovane could become a hot property when the transfer window opens, with AC Milan among the teams linked. As reported by Tuttosport, Giovane is the latest signing that Verona sporting director Sean Sogliano deserves credit for, given that he snatched him up on a free transfer from Corinthians in July with his deal there having expired. On the rise In hindsight, it's a steal, considering the 22-year-old striker is already worth €15m and is tempting all the big clubs.

Barca fired off 18 shots throughout the first half but did not inch ahead until the first minute of stoppage time, with Putellas converting from the penalty spot following a foul from Linde Veefkind. Kim Everaerts then put through her own net just before the hour mark. Paredes completed the scoring off Mapi Leon's set-piece delivery in the 67th minute, as Barca went top of the 18-team group on goal difference, ahead of Lyon and Manchester United.

Having failed to win any of their opening four Champions League matches, the pressure was on for the hosts, who fell behind 12 minutes in as Maxi Araujo drilled a pinpoint strike past Michele Di Gregorio. Luciano Spalletti's side grew into the contest, forcing Rui Silva into a pair of superb saves as Dusan Vlahovic first tested him with a close-range header, before bending a shot toward the far corner.

Juventus represent a case study in what not to do, but also serve as a reminder that poor decisions in the recent past impact the present and the future, narrowing the ability of replacements to make optimal choices. Their next managerial move will determine if they descend further down their spiral, or if they finally start to rid their system of the poisons built up over the years.
