This is not an easy moment for Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbian striker returned after the minor discomfort suffered after the Super Cup, but in the matches against Milan, in the league, and Club Brugge, in the Champions League, he always came on from the bench. Vlahovic was unable to make an impact in these matches and indeed he did not manage the few balls he had at his disposal in the best possible way. This difficult moment for Vlahovic also raises questions about his future. In fact, the attacker’s contract expires in 2026 and Juventus would like to renew his contract, but review his salary. As also explained by Giuntoli, the dialogues will probably begin after the end of the January transfer window. Without an agreement between the parties, it is unlikely that Juventus will keep Vlahovic and the farewell between the striker and the Bianconeri could take place next summer. The coming months will tell a lot about what the future of DV9 will be both on a field level and with regards to the market.
Giuntoli secures Veiga: the details.
Juventus has finally found its new defender to complete the squad left orphaned by the injured Bremer and Cabal. Last night, Cristiano Giuntoli reached an agreement with Chelsea for Renato Veiga. The Portuguese will arrive in Turin on a onerous loan of 4.5 million including the player’s salary. Renato Veiga will be in Turin in the next few hours for the usual medical examinations and to sign the contract. After that the Portuguese will be able to make himself available to Thiago Motta. It still remains to be seen whether he will already be among the squad called up against Napoli or whether we will have to wait for the match against Empoli. In any case, Juventus has finally found the defender who will be able to alternate with Gatti and Kalulu until the end of the season. Then in June Cristiano Giuntoli will have a clearer picture of the situation and will possibly sit around a table with Chelsea again to keep Renato Veiga.
Kolo Muani works to be ready for the match against Napoli.
Juventus, on the night of January 22nd, returned to Turin after the away match against Bruges and Thiago Motta decided to give his players the day off. But the gates of Continassa have opened for Randal Kolo Muani and Alberto Costa. The two signings from the January transfer window used yesterday to work and start targeting the match against Napoli. The Frenchman could already have a chance to be a starter on Saturday, also because Paris Saint-Germain has finally resolved the loan issue. Bernat has moved to Villareal and this will allow Juventus to make the official announcement of Kolo Muani’s arrival today. The Frenchman is ready to lend a hand to Thiago Motta who, in the next matches, will need goals from his attackers more than ever. Right after the match against Club Brugge, the Italian-Brazilian coach scolded his offensive men, asking them for a greater contribution in front of goal: “It’s clear that today (Tuesday ed.) after a long time we had many players available, especially the forwards, we started with Nico, Mbangula and Weah, then Yildiz, Vlahovic and Conceicao came in and they are players who, I also add Kolo Muani who will be in the league, I want to see more, our forwards today are the ones who must contribute the most to this team.” So Kolo Muani could be the right man to make that offensive contribution that Juventus has often lacked this season.
