The summer transfer window is heating up for Juventus as the Serie A giants weigh their options for a potential striker swap. Randal Kolo Muani, currently on loan at Tottenham with a mixed season behind him, has emerged as a prime target for the Turin-based club. Yet, the move is far from straightforward, with former Juventus striker Nicola Amoruso voicing strong reservations about the French international over domestic favorite Dusan Vlahovic.
Juventus faces a critical decision this summer as they prepare to rebuild their attacking lineup. While Kolo Muani tops the club’s wish list, the possibility of letting Dusan Vlahovic leave on a free transfer by June 30 adds complexity to the equation. Amoruso, however, dismisses the French striker’s appeal, arguing that the Serbo-Italian forward remains the better long-term investment for the Old Lady.
Amoruso backs Vlahovic over Kolo Muani
In a candid interview, the former Juventus forward made his stance clear: «If I had to choose one, I’d always pick Dusan». He emphasized Vlahovic’s technical mastery, physical presence, and mental resilience as key assets that set him apart. «The fact that he hasn’t fully settled in yet doesn’t mean he’s unwanted. He’s elite in his position, and I don’t see many strikers available with his level of quality and potential», Amoruso stated. He also praised the club’s recent efforts under manager Spalletti, noting how increased playing time and confidence have revitalized the forward’s form before injuries disrupted his season.

Amoruso went further, urging sporting director Giovanni Carnevali to prioritize champions with a winning mentality. «We need top-tier players, true champions. The Champions League disappointment makes evaluations harder, but rebuilding must align with Juventus’ legacy of excellence», he asserted. His comments reflect a broader debate within the club: whether to invest in proven talent like Vlahovic or take a calculated risk on Kolo Muani’s high ceiling.
