Despite a good start to the season, Juventus is not completely calm. In particular, she has a big question at the center-forward position with the only Dusan Vlahovic as an option. Enough to force Juve to recruit in France this winter.
Undefeated in Serie A and the Champions League, Juventus impresses observers. The Thiago Motta touch is already visible with a more attractive collective game than under Allegri. Defensively, the Turinese are almost impregnable with only one goal conceded in the league, from a penalty from Cagliari. In attack, it’s less idyllic. In Serie A, the Old Lady failed three times out of 7 to score during the match. Dusan Vlahovic found the fault late and above all he does not have a designated replacement in the center.
Juve targets a scorer in Lille and Rennes
Number 2 at center forward, former Marseille player Arkadiusz Milik injured his knee and will miss many weeks of competition. Juventus needs a new striker from next January. According to the Italian press, she is banking on Ligue 1 to find her happiness. The first track mentioned by Corriere dello Sport is logical since it concerns the Canadian Jonathan David. At the end of his contract at LOSC in June, the second top scorer in Ligue 1 will be available at an affordable price.
The other target was less expected by journalists. Tuttosport reveals that the Bianconeri are targeting Arnaud Kalimuendo. The 22-year-old Rennes striker has only scored 3 goals this season but he is expected to improve in the future. He is one of the spearheads of the French Espoirs team, often at the forefront of the attack. This could be the case on Tuesday against Austria and that’s good because Juve will observe it in Nancy. The Italian press even claims that discussions have already started between Rennes, Kalimuendo and the Turin club. The former Lensois and Parisian is taking over Jonathan David to come and support Vlahovic in Turin. An attractive career plan for Kalimuendo with the possibility of finally playing in the Champions League.
