According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Juventus continued training at their training ground yesterday, with McKennie undergoing individual training due to minor fatigue, casting doubt on his availability for tomorrow's match against Parma.

McKennie's Availability in Doubt: Spalletti Explores Alternatives

For the Parma fixture, Juventus confirmed that winger Yıldız will be unavailable due to injury. Should McKennie also be unavailable, the team's attacking midfield will face serious personnel shortage. Compared to the previous match against Frosinone, only Conceição would be available in that area. To manage the personnel crisis, manager Spalletti has prepared two contingency plans: one involves deploying Alajbegovic to fill the midfield gap; the other involves moving Cambiaso forward and expanding his role to replace Yıldız's attacking duties, with Çelik remaining solid in defense to maintain the team's original tactical structure as much as possible.

At the same time, Spalletti will keep Boga on the bench as a backup attacking option to change the game's dynamics if needed. The team's lineup currently remains fluid, dependent entirely on McKennie's recovery in today's training session. Should he return to full team training, Juventus's personnel shortage will be effectively resolved. The team's primary objective is to compete in this league round with the most complete squad possible.

Management Accelerates Kessié Pursuit

Beyond match preparations, Juventus management is in a final sprint to complete the free transfer of Kessié. Yesterday, Carnevali, Massara, and Otolini, three senior executives, held intensive meetings with Kessié's agent, with negotiations achieving a breakthrough and significant progress narrowing the gap on contract details.

It is reported that Juventus considers Kessié a core target for midfield reinforcement, and the deal's progress is unaffected by any internal player departures, fully demonstrating the club's high regard for the Ivorian midfielder. Currently, Arthur has concluded his contract and left, while Miretti will join Besiktaş on loan, freeing up squad space and wages for Kessié's arrival.

According to renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano, Kessié has received two offers from Saudi clubs, with Al-Ittihad pressing him for a swift response, but the player has temporarily suspended Saudi negotiations to prioritize joining Juventus. Bianconeri are rushing to finalize contract details, aiming to complete this crucial free transfer before the summer transfer window closes.
