Juve, forwards market: Kolo Muani, Vlahovic, Lewandowski

The frost has fallen between Juve and Vlahovic. The relationship continues to be good, but the agreement to remain together for at least another year is not yet there: an economic question, yes, but above all a question of balance. The club has established that the new maximum salary in the squad will be represented by the 6 million of Yildiz, the star around whom it intends to set up a new Juve with a racing set-up. At that point the Serbian, in addition to having to accept a large reduction in his salary (this year 12 million, 8 basic plus 4 bonus), cannot expect other raises to bring the request closer.

VLAHOVIC

The dialogue is at a standstill, everything postponed until the end of the season. But the feeling is that Juve does not intend to move much: they have proposed to Vlahovic to renew for around 5 million, plus some bonuses, for one or two years. The attacker would like to work again with Spalletti, who needs a center forward with his characteristics, but at the new negotiating table with the club he should present himself with a few more goals at the end of the season to demonstrate that he has dragged the team to the Champions League: recent physical problems have reduced his availability to a minimum, but the Serbian is reported to be among the most lively in training.

KOLO MUANI

—

While waiting for developments on the Vlahovic front, Kolo Muani is getting closer little by little. The French striker has the qualities that Spalletti is looking for and also has a great sponsor behind him who supports his transfer to Juve: PSG. The club that owns him, in fact, would like to offload him completely, but in the summer the player will still cost around 36 million in the budget. Juve also offers the possibility of accessing David, who was taken to zero and also failed in the recent experiment from under the striker behind Vlahovic (for twenty minutes against Verona) and so the cross transfer could also be useful for financial reasons. Kolo Muani was very close to returning to Turin last summer, then he went to Tottenham because the London club would have paid him more both immediately and in the final redemption.

LEWANDOWSKI

—

Juve will have to take at least two center forwards. And this is why he agreed to obtain information on Lewandowski, thinking that he would gain a large amount of experience also in the European field. Other teams are also moving towards the Barcelona striker at the deadline: for now the Juventus club cannot make any commitments for the future, much less accept to participate in auctions. In short, with the possibility of remaining in the running for Lewa gone, all that remains for Juve is to evolve the negotiation with PSG for Kolo Muani and understand, at the end of the season, whether to keep Vlahovic again or go for another guaranteed 9.
