The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, Episode 297: Douglas Luiz tries to force his way out

A lot for issues being comparatively quiet this summer time, huh?

Final week’s episode of The Outdated Woman Speaks Podcast was centered round issues being relatively quiet following Juventus’ Membership World Cup exit and the resumption of the summer time switch window’s exercise. Effectively, per week later, all we may is snigger as a result of that was now not the case when it got here to issues occurring round Juventus.

Over the previous seven days, a complete lot of stuff occurred.

You might say that’s solely pure for the ultimate days of July any summer time — particularly after what we noticed the now-unemployed Cristiano Giuntoli try to tug off 12 months in the past. However one in every of Giuntoli’s greatest signings of final summer time, midfielder Douglas Luiz, is now attempting to power Juventus’ hand and get a transfer away from Turin this summer time. Luiz didn’t present up for the beginning of preseason coaching final week, an absence that was not excused or anticipated by Juve. (He has since confirmed as much as Continassa on Monday, the day this podcast episode has been launched.)

That solely is a bit of what went from a considerably quiet time at Juventus to 1 that’s something however that. With the 2025-26 season set to start in lower than a month now, that’s not precisely the way you need to be making ready for the beginning of a brand new marketing campaign.
