Juventus, after a 1-0 defeat against Parma on Wednesday—their first loss under manager Igor Tudor—now sits just one point away from securing a Champions League spot in Serie A.

The Bianconeri will host crisis-hit Monza today at the Allianz Stadium, a crucial match ahead of tough away fixtures against Bologna and Lazio, direct rivals for the Champions League qualification. Tuttosport has emphasized that Juventus cannot afford to miss out on Champions League qualification, as it would result in a loss of at least €65 million in revenue from Europe’s most prestigious club competition.

Such a severe financial blow would effectively make it impossible for Juventus to pursue their summer 2025 transfer targets. At the top of their list is Sandro Tonali, who is seen as the key reinforcement for their midfield.

Recent reports from Italian and English media suggest that Tonali could cost between €70-80 million. However, Tuttosport adds that Juventus might try to lower Newcastle United’s asking price by including players like Douglas Luiz or Dušan Vlahović in the deal.
