The landscape of Juventus’ attack is undergoing significant changes as the season progresses. Randal Kolo Muani, who started his Juventus career with a bang, has hit a dry spell, failing to score since early February. This goal drought is not only affecting the team’s performance but could also jeopardize his future with the club beyond his current loan spell.
La Gazzetta dello Sport report how, despite Kolo Muani’s recent struggles, manager Thiago Motta continues to show faith in the French forward, preferring him over Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbian striker, once the centrepiece of Juventus’ attack, now finds himself increasingly relegated to the bench. Vlahovic’s situation at the club has become precarious, with his contract set to expire in 2026 and no renewal in sight.
As Juventus prepares for crucial matches, including an away game at Fiorentina, Motta is considering tactical changes. While Kolo Muani is expected to retain his starting position, other adjustments may include Weston McKennie playing in a more advanced role, potentially at the expense of Kenan Yildiz.
Meanwhile, Victor Osimhen’s name has emerged as a potential target for Juventus’ future attack. Currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, Osimhen has reportedly shown interest in a move to Turin. Juventus’ sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, is said to be an admirer of the Nigerian striker.
The club’s pursuit of Osimhen could intensify if Kolo Muani’s form doesn’t improve and Vlahovic’s future remains uncertain. However, any move for Osimhen would likely hinge on Juventus securing Champions League qualification for the next season.
As the season enters its final stretch, Juventus faces critical decisions regarding its attacking lineup. The performances of Kolo Muani and Vlahovic in the coming weeks could significantly influence the club’s transfer strategy for the summer, with Osimhen potentially becoming a prime target to lead the Bianconeri’s frontline in the future.
