Juventus suffered for the first six months of the season due to not having a back-up striker after Arek Milik’s injury. This left Dusan Vlahovic to play most minutes this season and then left to him suffering due to picking up small injuries and over working.
This was an issue until the January merecato recently when Cristiano Giuntoli decided to sign Randal Kolo Muani on a 6-month dry loan. Kolo Muani has played three games so far for Juventus and he has taken like a duck to water scoring 5 goals in these 3 Serie A games.
Now Giuntoli and Thiago Motta are looking to bring in Randal Kolo Muani according to CalcioMerecato.com. PSG are interested would like to sell Kolo Muani for a sum around 40-50 million euros in the summer.
Juventus are also interested in Victor Oshimen from Napoli, according to reports (Read More Here) Kolo Muani would be 20 million cheaper than Oshimen if he is to come in. However, if Kolo Muani is on higher wages with 9 million euros a year.
This is a concern for Juventus board who are now in an earn to spend scenario with debts to pay off for the club. But if either come in it would likely mean a sale of Dusan Vlahovic, and according to Nico Schira, Juventus are ready for this scenario.
This is because Vlahovic doesn’t fit in Thiago Mottas heavy possession system, this could be the reason he has been so poor this season. Kolo Muani has previously played on the wing, so he has a better on ball ability which is appreciated by Thiago Motta.
