The French striker may get a rest after disappointing performances in Serie A, while Nick Woltemade is seen as an option for the away trip. Juventus are also considering reinforcements in January.
Randal Kolo Muani risks being left on the bench for Juventus’ next match against Genoa. Coach Luciano Spalletti is considering several changes to the starting lineup, also with an eye on Sunday’s clash against Napoli.
The room for rotation is limited due to numerous injuries, but the French striker may need a rest. He has started all eight of Juventus’ Serie A matches, but so far has scored just one goal, in the draw against Cagliari.
Goals against NEC and Celta Vigo in the Europa League have improved his statistics, but they have not dispelled doubts over the 50 million euro investment.
In this situation, Nick Woltemade could benefit and take Kolo Muani’s place for the match at the “Ferraris” stadium. The German is adapting better and better to Spalletti’s demands and could be supported in attack by Alajbegovic or Boga.
Meanwhile, the club’s executives are weighing options to strengthen the attacking unit. Names on the list include Folarin Balogun, who has been playing little at Monaco, Alexander Sørloth of Atletico Madrid, and Antonio Raimondo, who is owned by Bologna. However, competition for Sørloth is strong, while transferring Raimondo in January may be difficult. An agreement for the summer of 2027 also remains an option.
