Their trip to Atalanta kicks off at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo at 19.45 GMT.

Inevitably, the questions were largely about the transfer market, as there are reports today that Juventus have agreed a deal with Paris Saint-Germain to take striker Kolo Muani on a dry six-month loan, plus Araujo is pushing to leave Barcelona.

With regards to Kolo Muani, it is claimed that he will give his response tomorrow morning, also receiving interest from Tottenham Hotspur.

“Until it is finalised, I never speak about anything. Having said that, we are feeling confident,” added Giuntoli.

The latest reports from France this evening suggest Kolo Muani has given the all-clear to Juventus and will have his medical tomorrow.

As for Araujo, here it is Barcelona who seem resistant to the transfer at the figures Juventus are offering.

“Juventus want to improve the quality and quantity of the players at our disposal. Nothing has been defined with anyone, but we are confident that we can give the coach some reinforcements.”
