Randal Kolo Muani’s transfer to Juventus faces skepticism from former star

After a challenging season on loan at Tottenham, Randal Kolo Muani is set to leave Paris Saint-Germain upon his return. The Juventus has emerged as the frontrunner to sign the French striker, but the move is drawing sharp criticism from an unexpected voice—former Juventus striker Nicola Amoruso.

The Italian club is reportedly prioritizing Kolo Muani to bolster its attacking lineup this summer. However, this potential signing comes as Juventus faces the dilemma of parting ways with Dusan Vlahovic, whose contract expires on June 30. The club aims to shed his hefty salary, but Amoruso strongly disagrees with the idea of replacing the Serbian striker with the French forward.

Amoruso voices strong preference for Vlahovic over Kolo Muani

Nicola Amoruso, a former Juventus legend, has made his stance clear: «If I had to choose one, I’d pick Dusan every time,» he declared in an interview. He went on to explain his reasoning, emphasizing that Vlahovic’s lack of full integration does not equate to a lack of value. «The Serbian striker is elite in his position,» Amoruso argued. «Few strikers available match his level and potential. Prolonging his contract would be a wise decision. He finished the season with a fantastic mindset and a burning desire to play for Juventus. Spalletti has entrusted him with the game, boosting his confidence—a game-changer for a center-forward. His goals, when fit, speak for themselves. I hope an agreement is reached soon.»

Juventus urged to rebuild around proven champions

Beyond the Kolo Muani debate, Amoruso offered strategic advice to new sporting director Giovanni Carnevali: «We need top-tier players, champions. It’s no easy task, especially after the Champions League disappointment, which complicates evaluations. Yet, we must rebuild using the Juventus legacy—a legacy built on champions.» His words underscore the tension between ambition and pragmatism as the club navigates a crucial transfer window.
