Why Francisco Conceição is essential to Juventus’ future aspirations
For Juventus to try and achieve important goals, they need their diminutive No. 7 to come through as much as anybody.
blackwhitereadallover.com
Developments over the last few weeks have made it clear that Juventus are in need of an upgrade at the goalkeeper position. But who should it be?! Well, here are a few ideas from @zachlowy.bsky.social. www.blackwhitereadallover.com/transfers/37...
Which goalkeeper should Juventus sign this summer?
Change feels like it’s in the air when it comes to Juventus’ starting goalkeeper for the 2026-27 season. So how should the Bianconeri approach a very important summer transfer window?

There have been a lot of disappointing performances this season. But what about the guy who will cost Juventus a lot of money in just a few months? @zachlowy.bsky.social takes a look at Loïs Openda and what he has — or mostly hasn't — done this season. www.blackwhitereadallover.com/serie-a-camp...
What the heck has happened to Loïs Openda?
The Belgian forward was one of Juventus’ final summer signings in 2025. Since then, he’s struggled to live up to his lofty price.

Chico Conceição has a ton of talent. He can also be an incredibly frustrating and incosistent player. @zachlowy.bsky.social is here to say that, despite all that, he's still a very important piece to the puzzle for Juventus. www.blackwhitereadallover.com/serie-a-camp...
Why Juventus’ imperfect Portuguese winger Francisco Conceição is crucial to their long-term success
“Chico” is far from a finished product. But he’s also quite important to Juve’s short- and potentially long-term success.
