Juventus transfer strategy hangs in balance as Kolo Muani deal faces unexpected resistance
After a challenging loan spell at Tottenham, Randal Kolo Muani will not be retained by Paris Saint-Germain upon his return. The Italian giants, Juventus, have emerged as the frontrunners to sign the French striker, but the potential move is far from a done deal. Veteran striker Nicola Amoruso has publicly voiced his strong preference for Dusan Vlahovic, casting doubt over Kolo Muani’s future at the club.
Amoruso delivers a stark warning against Kolo Muani
In a candid interview, former Juventus striker Nicola Amoruso made his stance clear: “If I had to choose one, I’d pick Dusan every single time.” He went on to explain why Vlahovic remains the superior option: “The fact that he hasn’t yet fully integrated doesn’t mean he’s unwanted. The Serbian is elite in his position. There aren’t many strikers available with his level and potential, which is why I believe extending his contract would be a smart move. He ended the season with a fantastic attitude and a burning desire to play for Juventus. Spalletti has given him the trust and involvement he needed—this kind of confidence can transform a striker’s career, and his goals when fit proved just that. I hope we can reach an agreement.“
Vlahovic’s future hangs in the balance
Juventus faces a dilemma: while Kolo Muani is being eyed as a potential replacement, the club could also part ways with Vlahovic, whose contract expires on June 30. Releasing him would free up significant wage costs, but Amoruso warns against such a decision. His remarks highlight deep divisions within the club’s hierarchy over how best to rebuild the squad after a disappointing European campaign.
Carnevali urged to focus on champions
Amoruso also offered advice to new sporting director Giovanni Carnevali: “We need top-tier players, true champions. It’s not easy in the current climate, especially after the Champions League disappointment, but we must rebuild with the Juventus legacy in mind. This club has always been built on champions.” His words underscore the pressure on Carnevali to make the right calls in a high-stakes transfer window.
As the summer transfer window heats up, Juventus must navigate these contrasting opinions to shape a squad capable of restoring the Old Lady to her former glory.
