Arne Slot's recruitment efforts for Feyenoord faced a setback when up-and-coming centre-back Sam Beukema opted to join AZ Alkmaar instead, attracted by the stability of the club he had left. Beukema, who is now part of Bologna's roster, is preparing for a significant match against Liverpool, marking a landmark moment for the club after 60 years. Meanwhile, Juventus has made headlines with their remarkable defensive performance under new manager Thiago Motta, achieving six consecutive shutouts to start the Serie A season, a feat last seen in 1993-94 with AC Milan. Despite initial struggles in attack, Juventus managed to secure a 3-0 victory over Genoa, highlighting the resurgence of their offense led by Dusan Vlahovic. Additionally, Roma achieved a comeback win against Venice, solidifying their progress under coach Jurić. As the Serie A season unfolds, teams are vying for competitive positions with notable performances across the board.
