Rodrigo Mendoza, a young midfielder for Elche who has admirers worldwide, is supposedly being pursued by Juventus.

In order to provide flair and originality to the middle of the park, the Bianconeri are searching for a new midfield player.

Sandro Tonali and Marcelo Brozovic, two well-known figures, are being connected to the Serie A powerhouses. However, the shortlist now includes a younger profile.

Rodrigo Mendoza, an Elche youth, is a target for Juventus.


Juventus is reportedly interested in Mendoza, who has been making waves in La Liga this season, according to Tuttosport. In addition to keeping an eye on him at the most recent U20 World Cup, the Bianconeri scouted him during his final game for Spain U21 during the current international.

Elche produced the 20-year-old, who was elevated to the first team in 2023. At this point, he has made a name for himself at the club. He has made ten appearances thus far this season in both La Liga and Copa del Rey, scoring one goal in each.

Mendoza's contract with Los Franjiverdes is set to expire in June 2028, although it has a €20 million release clause.

According to the source, critics maintain that the Spain U21 is well worth the money, contrasting his skill set with that of Barcelona's Pedri.

A list of admirers who have been following the midfield player since last summer has also been made public by the Turin-based tabloid. This includes the Red Bull organisation, which attempted to sign him to Paris FC, as well as clubs from the Saudi Pro League.

Additionally, Como hoped to include Mendoza in their young Spanish team, which has been growing under Cesc Fabregas' guidance.

According to the source, the Murcia native has recently been the subject of inquiries from both Real Madrid and Manchester City.

Because of the increasing rivalry for Mendoza's signature, it will be difficult to influence him. However, Juventus will undoubtedly be among the leaders in the race if they are serious about acquiring the player's services.

Compared to his predecessor, Igor Tudor, Luciano Spalletti, the new manager of Juventus, has been given more authority within the organisation.

After completing his goal of obtaining Champions League football, the Croatian was officially confirmed at the conclusion of the previous season. When Thiago Motta was fired in March, the 46-year-old took over.

It should be mentioned, nevertheless, that Damien Comolli was openly pursuing Antonio Conte before deciding on Tudor after failing to entice the native of Lecce to return to Turin. One could argue that this incident caused a wedge between the club's leadership and the former defender.

At Juventus, Luciano Spalletti will be treated better than Igor Tudor.


After losing his past eight games, an uninspired Tudor was fired at the end of October, and Spalletti took his place.

Il Corriere dello Sport claims that the 66-year-old has been given more authority than the man he succeeded right away.

According to the Roman Daily, Tudor was excluded from the decision-making process about the transfer market and was never given a place at the negotiating table.

According to the insider, Comolli and company refused to pay Paris Saint-Germain's final asking price despite the Croatian's insistence on bringing back Randal Kolo Muani.

As a result, the French striker signed a deadline-day contract with Tottenham, and Juventus settled for Lois Openda, who has not yet scored a goal for the team.

Tudor never wanted Edon Zhegrova, so the Belgian striker was not the only deadline-day transfer that he had resisted.

The administration never complied with the former Juventus manager's requests for the arrival of a new defender and midfield player.

On the contrary, Spalletti will have a significant influence, and Comolli will share all of his significant market decisions with him.

Given that any new hires or departures must fit with the head coach's vision, this is undoubtedly a positive step.

Fiorentina is currently keeping a careful eye on Moise Kean's condition after he withdrew from the Italy squad for their November games. His availability is crucial because he is one of their main players, especially before their match against Juventus following the international break. As the team gets ready for one of their most crucial games of the season, his fitness has taken centre stage.

Although Kean had an incredible season the previous year, Fiorentina has suffered as a team this season. His lack of goals is a reflection of the team's larger problems, as their performances have been patchy and fall short of expectations. The striker is still committed to becoming better under their new management in spite of these obstacles. He finds special meaning in the match versus Juventus because of his own association with the team.


A Competent Player with a Point to Make


One of the most accomplished alumni of the Juventus academy, Kean was developed at the Allianz Stadium. He became one of the most talented young players in Italian football after rising through their youth system. However, he had a challenging final season with the team, struggling to establish form at a pivotal moment. His tenure in Turin came to an end when the Bianconeri decided to trade him after Fiorentina showed interest.

This history adds a poignant element to the forthcoming encounter with Juventus. Naturally, Kean is excited to prove himself against his old team and remind them of the player they once thought was one of their best prospects. In addition to helping Fiorentina's campaign, the clash gives him the chance to make a statement with his performance.

Il Bianconero claims that Kean is now anticipated to be fit for the game. His ailment does not seem to be significant, according to the report, and he should be ready for selection at the end of the international break. Fiorentina, who understand how crucial his presence may be in such a prominent fixture, will be relieved by this.

Kean's comeback might provide the club with a much-needed lift as they get ready for a challenging time. His drive and the importance of the game could help him get back into shape and support Fiorentina's attempts to finish the season stronger.
