Juventus resolved a series of co-ownership deals before the deadline, but Domenico Berardi has been purchased by Sassuolo.
The Bianconeri had a number of players who were jointly owned with other teams, however these were all resolved before the deadline of 25th June.
Top of the list was Domenico Berardi who was expected to purchased outright by Juve, while remaining at Sassuolo on loan for the 2015/16 season.
Surprisingly, the Bianconeri announced that their 50% of the player was sold to Sassuolo for a fee of €10 million. A statement on the clubs official site confirmed the move:
“Juventus Football Club S.p.A. announces that it has finalised an agreement with U.S. Sassuolo Calcio S.r.l. for the termination in favour of Sassuolo of the current player sharing agreement (pursuant to art. 102 bis N.O.I.F.) concerning the registration rights of the player Domenico Berardi for a consideration of € 10 million to be paid in 4 years. The economic effect is positive for about € 7.3 million in 2014/2015 financial year.”
While the statement makes no mention of any buyback clause, it’s been reported that Juve do have an option on the player for €18 million, next summer, and he is widely expected to join the Bianconeri in 2016.

Juventus will also be bidding farewell to midfielder Romulo who returns to Hellas Verona, having spent a season on loan, while Alessandro Matri will be heading back to AC Milan.
Veteran goalkeeper Rubinho is out of contract as of 30th June along with midfielder Simone Pepe, who confirmed his departure from the club in a heartfelt interview in todays Tuttosport.
Speaking to the Turin-based daily, Pepe spoke of his time at Juve and what it meant to play for the Bianconeri over the last 5 seasons.
“Emptying my locker at Vinvovo was incredibly sad, however, beyond the sadness, I spent 5 fantastic years at an incredible club.” He told the paper
“I gave my heart & soul [for Juve]….also a leg. The club knew my sacrifice & have always reciprocated it with praise & love.
“I’ve an incredible relationship with the [Juve] fans, it’ll stay that way forever. I’ve 3 footballing homes: Teramo, Udinese & Juve.
“The worst moment at Juve? The CL final, after the game in Berlin I told my teammates ‘now it’s bad, but tomorrow it’ll be worse’. I wasn’t wrong. I went to bed at 6am & woke up at 6:45, I couldn’t sleep & I wasn’t the only one. Everyone was connected on WhatsApp.
“At Juventus, coaches & players come & go, but the winning mentality remains.
“Juve is more than a club. Chiellini & his wife moved to my place to help my wife who had just delivered, while I had surgery….and Storari, who waited outside my the door of my hospital room in Pavia until my surgery was over.”
“My number 7 jersey? I’m indifferent about who it goes to, but I think Dybala has taken it. We speak of a great guy here.”

We have never really got any confirmation about the buyback clausule, right? It worries me a little.
it’s alright. we have close relations to them. If he wants to come back, he will return
There’s no official confirmation of the buyback, but as far as i;m aware, there was none for zaza either. It’s a way of getting round things.
Also, i learned that the DS at Sassuolo is Marotta’s brother in law. I;m not worried about our relationship with Sass at this stage – they’re family 🙂
Brother in law… Lmao. That explains why Juve and Sassuolo are on such good terms.
exactly. nothing to worry about there, i read that he has a relation at another club as well. or an agent. one or the other.
Allegri loves Berardi. He will return next season.
Some real BS doing the rounds today about Vidal to Arsenal. Someone has come up with this story that Vidal is leaving and it will be announced after the Copa.
The story says that he has already been sold. Similar to last seasons BS
Yea I read that too a couple dayd ago
now I read that the sale of vidal is to raise funds for benetia of bayern
Theres something fishy if we loose pirlo and vidal who is the management thinking of buyin then
Man Pepe is giving me the sads.. But Juve goes on, thanks for the past 5years and some awesome moments Pepe.
I’ll never understand this love affair with Pepe…
I just don’t get it.
His goal against Napoli solely gives you feelings for the guy. It does.
He was actually useful for us in the terrible season of 2010/11 and played along nicely during Conte’s first year. After that we kept growing and he faded to the background and got injured, but his personality probably is the most likeable about him. Never complains, is good with the fans, fits well in the team.
He’s been a bit player at best .. He did ok for what he is and only did it for a short time (actually, in his first year here I thought he was brutal and only improved the one year when Conte got here) .. he’s been irrelevant for years and contributed zero to the success we’ve had over the last few years ..
He sweat blood for the shirt and was the third top scorer in one of the most amazing scudetto wins in this clubs history. By no means the most technicallly gifted player, but loved this shirt and gave his all. That in itself, imo, warrants a great appreciation.
#maplease
they all sweat blood for it,… pepe. #maplease
The guy is just loveable i guess
he is a likeable guy and he had his moments on the field. I am glad he is gone now as a player but yeah, I liked him
Allegri today: “Without Tevez and Pirlo Juventus will have to change, to experiment. I would like an inventor….a wild card. I like Real’s Isco and the Brazilian Oscar. Among the Italians, two young players: Berardi and Bernardeschi”
Tevez is gone, and so is Pirlo. We’re moving on folks
I just hope that Vidal stays.
I think he will. With those 2 moving out thats 9m off the wage bill ontop increased likelyhood, if there could be any more, that vidal pogba marchisio will always have first priority in our midfield.
We will see how we build around the midfield triangle Juve has. I think allegri will stick to his 4-3-1-2 type setup. With that trequartista player being the “Isco or Oscar” he is looking for.
He will. I dont doubt it.
Isco would be amazing. Oscar scored some nice goals (against us) but other than that.. Isco > Oscar imo
Saponara did well last year too, tho idk if he will turn out to be juve quality
we’ve been linked with him as well. I;m not convinced. i think juve want to spend big here to make a real statement.
Agreed. It did seem a little strange that we had to make it look like a positive in our books regarding Berardi when everyone at the club kept saying they wanted him. Maybe we are trying to muster up as much money as we can and go all out for a number 10? We did just make it to CL final and will most likely be selling Llorente, Ogbonna, and Isla (crossing my fingers). Add that to the Berardi money and whatever we have left over and maybe an Isco or Oscar isn’t out of the question? Just throwing out ideas here.
Pirlo and a fan at NYCFC
Are we going through a team overhaul
tevez and pirlo going
rumors of vidal goin too
ogbana looks most certain goin to premier league
mehdi benetia linked to juve
oscar or isco also linked
Also read kovasic is a target
also jovetic loan approved will be announced Wednesday or friday
wat the hell is goin on
UPDATES anyone
Any chance you’re reading the sun, or daily mail? Haha probably the only transfers really happening are those in your first sentence.
Lolll no
its off this dutch website lollll
No team overhaul, see that post from me previously from allegri – He said Tevez and Pirlo leaving means he can experiment with a new lineup.
Tevez is going but there is a lot of debate about whether or not he will leave for free. The Boca president said they won’t pay a peso for Tevez, Juve won;t be letting them off that easy.
Pirlo was at NYCFC last night – the rumour is that he is leaving for the MLS….but not sure when. he may stay at Juve for a season or so.
Vidal NOT LEAVING. that was a false report that was spread through Twitter – you can see our twitter page for more info. This mornings GdS said the same thing. At juve hq they are denying these rumours. they know nothing about it.
Ogbonna may well be leaving for a PL side. they are the teams that will pay big money for him. Spurs are long time admirers.
Benatia would be an expensive signing, but not likely imho. We are sorted in defence and Allegri is going to play a back 4. we have loads of CB’s.
Oscar and Isco are both liked by Allegri but thats it. He has siad in at least 3 interviews that he wants a 10 and of all the players he likes, Isco and Oscar are his faves
Kovacic is fantacalcio. Liverpool in the lead to sign him. Inter wouldn’t sell to us.
Joevtic is a seen a a back up option is juve get nowhere with the other 10’s. Could be a loan, could a perm. move. The latest is that his agent has denied at talk of a move but i don;t see him staying at city.
Thats answers to all your questions 🙂
Thanks bro ur a legend
thanks for the info
Can someone tell me what’s going on in this picture? People keep posting it like it’s news…
it’s Vidals official instagram account. I think he posted a lot because there were a load of fake accounts around
Unrelated but I found this video (documentary?) about a young Tevez…Jump to the 5th minute of the video and see that he plays exactly the same as he did back then

Good work, great watch
Thx Rav
Haha his passing was terrible

Based on the rumors I think Coman should go to Sassuolo instead of Bologna. We need to maintain good relations with Sassuolo plus Di Francesco is a great coach and works well with young talent to help them grow whereas Delio Rossi is an absolute twat…
I agree, but unless they offload Sansone; it would be hard to see Coman get regular playing time there as well
Still, I don’t think playing under Delio Rossi is going to do much for his confidence and overall growth. I know the Ljajic thing may have been an isolated incident but I really don’t like the guy…
On a separate note here’s my ” Ugh, I can’t believe they’re playing for Juve XI”

Looks like Llorente and Ogbonna are getting some PL interest. Good news and we should try to milk them of as much $ as possible
Gazzetta also reporting that we want a fullback with Kurzawa, zappacosta, and widmer as options. Haven’t seen Widmer enough but I like the other too. Plus Zappacosta is a known juventino so that never hurts!
I don’t really know the last 2, but from what i’ve seen, that Kurzawa is one classles guy. Spitting/provoking etc.
Oh really? Didn’t know that. When we played Monaco he looked like one of their better players and only 22. Maybe him, Pogba, and Coman are buds and Evra can watch over them like a big brother haha. But I like Zappacosta he looks good going forward but still needs work on his defensive game. He looked impressive in u21 euros. He played on the same side as Berardi and they linked up quite nicely. Maybe a relationship for the future?
Yeah he’s got talent, that’s for sure. Cool! And zappacosta plays as a rightback?
yep for atalanta
