Juventus wrapped up their summer training schedule with a 2-0 victory over Palermo this Tuesday. The Turin side maintained control throughout the match, displaying a consistent performance as they prepare for the upcoming campaign.

The deadlock was broken just before halftime when Kenan Yildiz found the net with a clinical right-footed strike, set up by summer arrival Zeki Celik. Yildiz, who committed his long-term future to the club with a contract extension until 2030 earlier this year, remains a pivotal part of the squad.

In the closing stages of the match, Arkadiusz Milik doubled the lead in the 86th minute. The goal marked a significant moment for the striker, as it was his first successful strike since May 20, 2024.

Juventus conclude their pre-season with a strong record, having suffered only one defeat in their summer friendlies, a 2-1 loss against Inter Milan on August 8. The team now turns its attention to their Serie A opener against Parma on August 23.
