Turin, 12 May 2025 – It could have been a Champions League goal, but the expulsion of Rabbit and the paw of Vecino they put everything back into play and the Juve still has to fight for a place in the top four. Everything is still up for grabs with two days to go and Atalanta-Roma will also have great value. But the long-awaited signal has arrived from Kolo Muani, who after a long fast has returned to the net with Monza and Lazio and could be worth a small reversal of trend also on the market. Juve, as we know, does not want to invest 50 million to buy him permanently and the option is that of a second loan, but everything will depend on PSG. Meanwhile, Open Var has received the explanation for the red card Rabbit: “Violent conduct”  

Kolo Muani: PSG is fundamental

A season of ups and downs for Juve and which obviously influenced the performance of individual players. The arrival of kolo muani in Turin he had been exceptional, with an immediate flurry of goals, fully exalted by the game of Motta who wanted a different centre-forward, then the mechanism jammed, the coach got into difficulty and even the Frenchman disappeared. The change of coach did the rest, with the return of Vlahovic among the starters until the recent injury. A period of time in which kolo muani he didn't shine, but yesterday's goal at the Olimpico can be seen as a small signal. It almost wasn't decisive for the Champions League, the final draw leaves everything open, but at least it served to restore confidence to the French striker who would like to stay. To do so, however, help is needed from psg. The Bianconeri do not have the resources in their budget to buy him permanently and it will be up to the Parisians to unlock the loan for another season: without this it will be tough. Negotiations are underway, also because Juve must already look for a centre forward on the market, almost certainly Vlahovic will go away, and be able to confirm kolo muani at zero cost would serve to complete the department. The Frenchman, meanwhile, sends a clear message: "I'm happy, Juve is a family. The future? We'll see".

Oper Var: “Violent conduct by Kalulu”

But there is still a Champions League to win and the expulsion received yesterday by Rabbit it is on par with that of Star against Monza, leaving Tudor in an emergency for the last two days. The defender will almost certainly be suspended until the end of the championship and is ready to pay the fine out of his own pocket, but Tudor will have further defensive problems. The explanation of what happened at the Olimpico was provided by Open Var, which showed the dialogue between the referee live Sponge and the Lissone room. The referee, at the time, had not noticed the red, but the VAR recommended an on-field review: “Davide wait a moment, check in progress – the words from Lissone – Let's see the dynamics, the movement is there. I recommend an on-field review for violent conduct”. At that point Massa went to the monitor and confirmed: “Yes, red and free kick for Lazio”. A problem for Tudor which on the one hand has found Cats but among the defenders he only has Veiga available and to remain with three he might need to lower Locatelli.
