News from Serie A — Federico Spalletti has decided to leave Juventus and is set to join another top-flight Italian club.
Luciano Spalletti’s son, Federico, has reportedly chosen to depart from Juventus in pursuit of a new experience in Serie A.
The 31-year-old holds a master’s degree in analytical philosophy from Switzerland.
However, he decided to follow in his father’s footsteps and pursue a career in football.
“My love for football has never faded; in fact, I’ve been combining football and philosophy through tactical studies, statistics, and player analysis,” he explained.
Luciano Spalletti’s son to leave Juventus
After earning his scouting badge from Coverciano in 2022, Spalletti Jr. landed his first role in football with Udinese, who appointed him as a scout in 2023.
A year later, the Tuscany-born professional joined Juventus in a similar capacity.
Federico Spalletti worked under the guidance of then Football Director Cristiano Giuntoli, who headed the club’s sporting department.
His time at Continassa saw an unexpected family reunion when his father was named head coach in October 2025 following the dismissal of Igor Tudor.
While Luciano is set to remain in Turin after signing a contract valid until June 2028, his son will now be leaving the club.
Federico Spalletti set to join Genoa
With his departure, Federico Spalletti ends his two-year stint at Juventus.
It is understood that his next destination will be Genoa.
Although the reasons behind his decision are unclear, the Grifone are believed to be offering him a more prominent role.
The family reunion in Turin thus lasted only seven months at Juventus.
It remains to be seen whether father and son will get another opportunity to work together at the same club in the future.
Juventus are preparing to welcome Douglas Luiz back to Turin after Aston Villa decided not to make his loan move permanent.
This comes after his stint with the Premier League side came to an end.
The Brazilian midfielder had earlier concluded his loan spell at Nottingham Forest before joining Aston Villa on another temporary deal.
During his time at Villa Park, he played a role in their successful Europa League campaign, contributing to the club’s title win.
Juventus had hoped Aston Villa would activate the €25 million option to make the transfer permanent.
This expectation was particularly strong given Luiz’s familiarity with the club, coaching staff, and tactical system.
Aston Villa decides against permanent move
Although there was optimism that Luiz would remain in England, his role diminished as the season progressed.
He was mostly used as a substitute during a period when Villa dealt with several midfield injuries.
Once the key players returned to full fitness, his opportunities became limited, reducing his impact on the squad.
Despite ongoing speculation about his future, Aston Villa have now made their final decision regarding the midfielder.
Reports suggest that the Premier League club confirmed Luiz will not join them permanently and will instead return to Juventus ahead of the next season.
Juventus to assess Luiz’s future
This development leaves Juventus with an important decision about the player’s future.
The club must now determine whether to integrate him into their plans for the upcoming season or explore another transfer during the summer window.
Douglas Luiz still has a chance to prove himself under Luciano Spalletti.
The coach is reportedly prepared to evaluate him during pre-season before making a final call on his role in the squad.
At the same time, Juventus remain open to offers if another club expresses interest in signing him permanently.
The coming weeks are expected to be crucial as Juventus assess all available options.
The midfielder will certainly be eager to resolve his future soon.
If he impresses Spalletti and secures a regular spot, he could still enjoy a successful and extended career in Turin.
That scenario would mark a significant revival in his Juventus career.
Bayern Munich have emerged as the latest club showing interest in Gleison Bremer.
The Brazilian defender appears increasingly likely to leave Juventus this summer.
Bremer has been outstanding for the Bianconeri and has established himself as one of their most vital players in recent seasons.
His consistent performances have attracted attention from several clubs, with interest continuing to grow ahead of the next transfer window.
The Brazilian has been instrumental in keeping Juventus competitive, with the team frequently benefiting from his presence on the pitch.
His defensive reliability and ability to deliver strong performances have made him one of the first names on the team sheet whenever available.
Juventus face a tough decision
Although Juventus want to retain him, the club may be forced to consider offers this summer after missing out on Champions League qualification.
While they aim to keep their key players, financial realities could necessitate difficult decisions regarding some of their top stars.
Gleison Bremer is regarded as one of the best defenders in the world, meaning any potential transfer could fetch Juventus a significant fee.
Reports indicate that the Bianconeri could allow his departure if the right offer arrives.
Several clubs are closely monitoring the situation ahead of the transfer window.
Bayern Munich enter the race
With other teams aware of Juventus’s position, Bayern Munich have now joined the race to sign Bremer.
The German giants are expected to review their defensive options this summer and view the Brazilian as a player who can strengthen their backline.
His experience and quality make him an attractive target for clubs looking to bolster their defensive ranks.
Reports suggest Bremer would prefer to stay at Juventus.
However, Bayern Munich remain one of Europe’s biggest clubs, and a move could become a realistic possibility if Juventus decide to accept an offer.
If negotiations progress positively, the coming weeks could determine whether the defender stays in Turin or begins a new chapter elsewhere.
