Juve, Kolo Muani show: “It's a dream”

Bologna, 8 February 2025 – Motta found his striker. His name is Randal Round Muani, who has had a devastating impact. Five goals in three games, no one like him. Hard times are ahead for Dusan Vlahovic, now slipped down the hierarchy and with a smell of being sold in June. A good purchase, a very good one that of Juve in January, because the striker gave Motta what he needed, movements to support the team, linking the game with his teammates and above all goals of all kinds, especially those in progression using the open field as happened with Empoli and Como. Record numbers for Kolo Muani since the three points for a victory have been awarded.  

Nobody like him

Numbers don't tell the whole story in football, but they do tell many things. Scoring five goals in three games, with two braces, is a record. No one since 1994/1995 had managed to score so many in the first three appearances in Serie A. He did it Round Muani, which gave Juve three crucial points in Como at the end of a difficult match, as expected. Controversy over a penalty not awarded to the Lariani, the handball of Cats it seems evident, and everything seemed to be headed towards a draw until the penalty caused by stumble and transformed by itself Round Muani, who with another brace made everyone understand that yes, the Bianconeri needed a striker like that. Joints he is already working to confirm him in the summer (new loan or investment to buy the player's registration) with Dusan Vlahovic probably sacrificed given the contract expiry in 2026 and a technical feeling that, as we are seeing, has disappeared with Thiago Motta. The changing of the guard has taken place and Kolo is now already the king of the Juventus attack. A devastating impact, worth six points in two games and could have become more without the comeback suffered at Napoli, where the striker had found the goal of the lead in a robbery. There couldn't have been a better start: "I'm very happy with how I played and with the victory. Did I imagine a start like this? It's a dream, I'm happy to be at Juve and help my teammates. We play well and I'm happy", the words of Round Muani at the end of the game. Now we are playing on the market tables to understand how to confirm him definitively at Juve. Giuntoli takes two paths. The first is to convince the psg to a new loan and then work on the redemption in the summer of 2026. A difficult hypothesis but one that we will try to pursue. The second option is to redeem him in June. The figure is high, we are talking about 50-60 million, and Joints could reach it with a couple of sacrifices on the way out. Capital gains in this case are essential. One bears the name of Dusan Vlahovic, for which buyers willing to spend at least 45-50 million euros will be sought. Vlahovic is not renewing his expiring contract and his agent is looking around, but it is necessary to arrive at Continassa with a significant offer on the table. In any case, Kolo Muani's performances, Vlahovic's decline and the expiry date in 2026 are clear factors in view of June: one is on the launch pad and no one can stop him, the other is in obvious difficulty and can generate a nest egg. The path seems mapped out.
