Juventus should logically invest in the winter market. The Turin club is actively looking for a new recruit to strengthen the offensive sector and the name of Arnaud Kalimuendo comes up repeatedly.
Juventus plans to recruit a replacement for Dusan Vlahovic for the second half of the season. The Bianconeri have several names in mind like Lorenzo Lucca or Giacomo Raspadori but the trend concerns a Frenchman Arnaud Kalimuendo. With the objective of providing competition to Dusan Vlahovic but also allowing the Serbian to remain 100% with the big deadlines, Juve is interested in the profile of the scorer of the French junior team. If Thiago Motta has offensive profiles like those of Nico Gonzalez or Teun Koopmeiners, Kalimuendo could complete this offensive aramada in the transfer window and his profile seems to correspond 100%.
Under contract with Stade Rennais until June 2027, the 22-year-old center forward is not at all untransferable even if the Breton club would like to recover 25 million euros in the deal. A significant interest for Juventus which has even sent emissaries to Brittany in recent weeks as well as to Cyprus in order to observe the match of the French hopeful team this Friday evening and the performance of Kalimuendo.
A request from Thiago Motta?
Strong man of Juventus since his arrival on the bench at the start of the season, Thiago Motta wants new reinforcement at the attacking position and he would even have validated the track leading to the young Rennes. With Arkadiusz Milik still injured, Vlahovic finds himself alone in the role of scorer and the Italian coach needs additional reinforcement.
It is true that if he arrives at the club this winter, Kalimuendo should have playing time with the numerous deadlines that await the team such as the Champions League, Serie A and the Italian Cup. The mission is launched for Cristiano Giuntoli who has already started the first discussions with the player’s entourage but also the Rennes leaders. To be continued…
