After a challenging season on loan at Tottenham, Randal Kolo Muani is set to leave Paris Saint-Germain, where he has returned following his spell in England. The Juventus has emerged as the frontrunner to sign the French striker, but this potential move is sparking debate among football insiders. Former Juventus striker Nicola Amoruso has publicly voiced his preference for keeping Dusan Vlahovic instead, casting doubt over Kolo Muani’s future in Turin.
The Old Lady is expected to make significant changes to its attacking lineup this summer, with Kolo Muani viewed as a top target despite his inconsistent performances during his stint in the Premier League. However, the club may also part ways with Vlahovic, whose contract expires on June 30, potentially freeing up salary space. Amoruso strongly disagrees with this strategy, calling it a mistake and advocating for Vlahovic’s retention.
Amoruso throws support behind Vlahovic
In an interview, Amoruso made his stance clear: «If I had to choose one, I’d always pick Dusan over Kolo Muani», he stated. He went on to explain that Vlahovic’s lack of full integration doesn’t equate to a lack of value, praising his technical skills and potential. «There aren’t many strikers available with his level and potential. Extending his contract would be a smart move», he added. Amoruso highlighted how Spalletti’s tactical approach and trust in Vlahovic revitalized his performance, culminating in a series of goals before injuries disrupted his progress. «I hope we can reach an agreement», he concluded.
A call for top-tier talent at Juventus
Beyond the Kolo Muani debate, Amoruso urged the club’s new sporting director, Giovanni Carnevali, to prioritize signing high-caliber players. «We need champions, world-class talent», he emphasized. «The failed Champions League campaign makes it harder to justify big spending, but the club’s identity is built on legendary players. We must rebuild with that legacy in mind.»
