Everything is not perfect with the old lady this season. A new manager with success in the move and a number of player acquisitions should lift them up to the top of Serie A. – After Thiago Motta came to Juventus, it has not improved, on the contrary. After finishing in 3rd place last season, Saturday’s win at the Allianz Stadium over Genoa is in 5th place with no realistic chance of catching up with league leader Inter Milan.
The poorer results have other consequences than the sacking of manager Thiago Motta. Juventus could skip the Kolo Muani purchase. In the January window, Juventus loaned Randal Kolo Muani (26) from Paris Saint-Germain. Previous reports have claimed that the Turin club wanted to keep the Frenchman and sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli opened the door to a continuation.

“The deal we reached with them (PSG) also created a way to figure out how we can continue with him in the future,” he said in February.
Now it seems that things have taken a new turn.
Transfer expert Nicolo Schira states that Kolo Muani’s future at Juventus is uncertain, mainly due to the recent sacking of manager Thiago Motta. The striker was a given under Motta’s leadership, but after the sortie, Juventus will reassess whether to sign Kolo Muani or if another striker should come in. Schira states that PSG wants 60 million euros (approx. 650 million SEK) to sell Kolo Muani.
