Napoli vs. Juventus match preview When Juventus faced former manager Antonio Conte for the first time as Napoli manager, it was very much a case of seeing a work in progress. Conte’s first Serie A game at Napoli ended with him comparing his team to snow melting in the sun during his media rounds, and made you think the job ahead of him was going to be a massive one for a club that was an absolute turnstile for managers the season before. That was in mid-September. Now we’re in late-January and, well, Juventus’ second matchup with Napoli comes under a very different kind of guise to it. ............ There is no doubt that Napoli will be a step up from a Milan that was both hampered by injuries and suspensions as well as still very much adjusting to life under a new manager. Napoli’s “new” manager has them thinking Scudetto again — which, as I would like to remind you, was not exactly something the club had done all that often for the previous three decades before winning the title two years ago. “We are ready to face this important challenge,” Motta declared during his pre-match press conference. We are going to find out soon enough — and on Napoli’s home turf, no less. If Juventus play like did the last time they lined up against Italian opposition, then you certainly have to believe that is the case. But if it’s like what we saw midweek against Club Brugge, then it might look a lot like what we’ve seen in the last couple of trips to Naples. TEAM NEWS The only three players out injured for the trip to Naples are the long-term absences: Gleison Bremer, Juan Cabal and Arek Milik. At this point, it really is anybody’s guess — at least from those of us on the outside — when Milik will actually return to the field and make his season debut. New Juventus striker Randal Kolo Muani, whose move to Turin was officially announced Thursday, is in the squad. (We’ll probably be talking a little more about him in a minute.) Fellow January signing Alberto Costa is also in the squad that has made the trip south to Naples, but is not expected to start against the current league leaders. Another January loan signing, Chelsea defender Renato Veiga, is expected to arrive in Italy on Sunday with his medical exams to take place on Monday morning, according to reports. ............ What’s going to be a key, according to Motta, for Juventus against Napoli? He said the following: “We want to implement our style of play and attack them with balance in order to cause them problems.” ............ JUVENTUS PLAYER TO WATCH There is a new striker finally in town. And if you believe those who try and predict the starting lineups, said new striker in town could very well get the starting nod all of a couple of days after officially signing with Juventus. ............ The arrival with Randal Kolo Muani has now coincided with the 26-year-old Frenchman jumping right into the starting lineup against the team that has been the best in Italy through the first 21 matchdays. Is that a surprise? Maybe. Is it a sign of how things are when it comes to Juventus’ attack right now? Yeah, probably. But even with the highest-paid player in Serie A, Dusan Vlahovic, now with a couple of appearances off the bench since coming back from a minor muscle injury, it looks as though it will be the new striker getting a starting spot against Napoli. ............ So what will Kolo Muani give Juventus that Vlahovic might not be able to replicate? Well, for one, it’s pace up front, which in turn should certainly make him a little more dangerous while trying to press Napoli’s backline when Juve don’t have the ball. (And we all know how Vlahovic feels about pressing compared to scoring goals). There’s certainly some curiosity when it comes to Kolo Muani and how he fits into this Juventus puzzle for the second half of the season. There are rumors that Motta could have more of a 4-3-3 look compared to his usual 4-2-3-1, which could be a positive shift in more ways than one. No matter what it ends up being, Kolo Muani leading the line seems like it has a pretty chance of happening. ............ MATCH INFO When: Saturday, Jan. 25, 2025. Where: Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, Naples, Italy. Official kickoff time: 6 p.m. in Italy and the Central European time zone, 5 p.m. in the United Kingdom, 12 p.m. Eastern time, 9 a.m. Pacific time. ............ .

Serie A Preview: Napoli vs Juventus – Team News, Line-ups & Prediction One of the most heavily anticipated fixtures in the Serie A calendar takes place at Stadio Diego Maradona on Saturday as pacesetters Napoli take on top-four hopefuls Juventus. Napoli consolidated their Scudetto credentials with a morale-boosting 3-2 win against fellow title rivals Atalanta last weekend. ............ Second-half blitz from Samuel Mbangula and Tim Weah inspired Thiago Motta’s ‘stalemate kings’ to a 2-0 home win, helping them close the gap on fourth-placed Lazio to only two points. It was supposed to be a turning point for Juventus, but they would soon ‘return to normal.’ Indeed, one of the most disappointing matches in midweek Champions League action saw the Bianconeri share the spoils with Club Brugge in a 0-0 draw at the Jan Breydel Stadium, inflicting substantial damage on their hopes of securing automatic Round-of-16 qualification. Match Preview Napoli ............ Juventus Would you be surprised to know that September’s reverse fixture finished 0-0? Draws have been a common theme for Juventus this season, with an incredible 13 of their 21 top-flight outings ending level. As such, being the only unbeaten Serie A team couldn’t count for less, especially when factoring in a substantial 13-point deficit on Napoli pre-round. Another stalemate is well on the cards. Juventus have shared the spoils in seven of their last eight away games in all competitions (W1), with only one featuring over 2.5 goals. With that in mind, fans in attendance may not be in for a spectacle, even though their last three league encounters in Naples produced 3+ goals and both teams on the scoresheet. On a rare positive note, Juventus haven’t lost a competitive match on the road since April 2024 against Lazio. Any hope of winning at this stadium for the first time since March 2019 and, in turn, halting a five-game losing H2H away streak will hinge on the visitors’ ability to rediscover their scoring instincts. Juventus have netted one goal or fewer on seven of their nine road trips since the start of November. Team News ............ On the other hand, long-term absentees Arkadiusz Milik, Juan Cabal, and Gleison Bremer remain unavailable for selection. Encouragingly for Motta, Francisco Conceicao and Kenan Yildiz will be at his disposal after overcoming minor fitness problems. Napoli vs Juventus Potential Starting Line-ups Napoli (4-2-3-1): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Jesus, Olivera; Anguissa, Lobotka; Politano, McTominay, Neres; Lukaku. Juventus (4-2-3-1): Di Gregorio; McKennie, Kalulu, Gatti, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Thuram; Yildiz, Koopmeiners, Mbangula; Gonzalez. Napoli vs Juventus Prediction Napoli’s recent home record against Juventus is too telling to be overlooked. Conte has instilled his winning mentality in the locker room, and if there’s a side capable of inflicting Juve’s first league defeat under Motta, it’s the Partenopei. Prediction: Napoli to Win .

Thiago Motta is coy about Kolo Muani’s chance of starting against Napoli Randal Kolo Muani is finally a Juventus player after some delays, and he is now available to play for the team in their upcoming match against Napoli this weekend. Juventus fans have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of a new attacker, and the club hopes that Kolo Muani will meet expectations and score some goals to help improve their attacking options. With Juventus needing to get back in the title race, this game against Napoli is a crucial one. Kolo Muani now faces the challenge of fitting into a team that has relied heavily on Dusan Vlahovic for goals this season. ............ Motta was asked if Kolo Muani had earned a place in the starting XI for the match against Napoli, and he stated: “Can he start? We will see Randal, he is available, he is in the group, we will see if he will start or not. The important thing is to have taken a player of his level, because we think he can cover the need that there is here, in a big team like Juventus. And that he can help the team to win matches.” ............ The match against Napoli is a significant challenge, and Juventus will need to be cautious and tactical in their approach. Whether or not Kolo Muani starts, he will be keen to make an impact and show his worth to the team. In conclusion, Kolo Muani’s arrival offers Juventus more options in attack, and the upcoming game against Napoli presents an opportunity for him to make his mark. ............ .

Napoli vs Juventus: Preview and Prediction A gigantic clash awaits Serie A, as two sides in contrasting forms take on each other, with Napoli likely to be the team under more pressure than Juventus. Antonio Conte has dealt with the loss of star attacker Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to PSG and has found solutions that continue to work out while the club works on finding a replacement. ............ Meanwhile,, visitors Juventus are the only team unbeaten in Serie A this season, and yet their manager is the one under more pressure than any of his top six peers. The reason has been the amount of games the Bianconeri are not able to win, and the number of draws they have this season. Eight draws in their last ten league games have been damaging to another level for Juventus in their early bid to be part of the title chase. They are languishing in sixth place, with 13 points behind leaders Napoli in the standings, and that gap could extend with a loss away from home against Conte’s side. Juventus endured another draw, this time in the UEFA Champions League against Club Brugge. The Bianconeri did manage a win in the league last weekend when hosting AC Milan and probably got their revenge for the Supercoppa Italiana loss in Saudi Arabia. A win in their next game against Napoli will ease some pressure on Motta and bring the Bianconeri back into the mix to challenge the top order. Team News & Tactics Napoli ............ Probable Lineup (4-3-3): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Jesus, Olivera; Anguisa, Lobotka, McTominay; Politano, Lukaku, Neres Juventus Juventus’s injury issues have healed a bit in recent weeks, with only long-term absentees Gleison Bremer, Arkadiusz Milik, and Juan Cabal missing out. There are some transfer speculation surrounding Juventus in the current window with Andrea Cambiaso linked with a move alongside fellow defender Danilo. Cambiaso is still expected to start in this game ahead of recent starter Weston McKennie. Juventus have agreed a move for Renato Veiga from Chelsea, but the Portuguese is unlikely to make the squad for this weekend. Manuel Locatelli and Khephren Thuram will start in midfield, which does cast doubt on Douglas Luiz’s immediate future amid active links to the Premier League. Kenan Yildiz, Francisco Conceicao, and Teun Koopmeiners will begin in the attacking setup. Dusan Vlahovic was recently dropped for ‘technical reasons’ and is unlikely to start this one, as new arrival Randal Kolo Muani might get the nod to lead the line for Juventus against Napoli. Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Di Gregorio; Savona, Gatti, Kalulu, Cambiaso; Licatelli, Thuram; Conceicao, Koopmeiners, Yildiz; Kolo Muani Key Stats Napoli have won their last six matches in Serie A. Napoli have won their last four home matches against Juventus in all competitions. Juventus are undefeated in their last 29 matches in Serie A. Juventus have eight draws in their last ten Serie A games. Player to Watch Randal Kolo Muani The Frenchman has arrived on loan from PSG and could be the alternative option that Thiago Motta has been looking for all this while. The out-of-form Dusan Vlahovic will now come under serious pressure if Kolo Muani makes a statement on the pitch with a solid performance against Napoli. The reason for Kolo Muani to join Juventus has been the potential opening in the front of the attack, and with his arrival, Motta will hope he can begin firing straight away in the game against Napoli. A solid performance versus the Partenopei will be a first step for Juventus to start considering a change of scenery up front, as the French international will have to prove over many games that he could be their long-term answer to their goalscoring problems. Prediction Napoli 2-1 Juventus Juventus might be the only unbeaten side in Serie A, and in truth, it has been their defensive solidity more than the attacking prowess that has helped them not lose a game. However, they are facing a solid enough opposition in Napoli, and Antonio Conte could mastermind a problematic result for Motta. Napoli are under severe pressure to maintain their place at the top of the tree, especially with Inter Milan lurking about. They have already shown plenty of mettle and character in their away win to Atalanta, as Conte might have the right quality to engineer a win over his former side and hand Juventus their first loss of the Serie A season. The Hard Tackle predicts a 2-1 win for Conte and his charges. . Read more -> https://thehardtackle.com/round-up/2025/01/25/napoli-vs-juventus-preview-and-prediction-2/

Serie A - Napoli vs. Juventus - Match Preview The Stadio Diego Armando Maradona is set to host a titanic clash this Saturday as Serie A leaders Napoli welcome unbeaten Juventus in a match that could have significant implications for the title race. With 13 points separating the two sides, Napoli will be looking to extend their impressive five-game winning streak against Juventus on home turf. Antonio Conte’s Napoli side has been in scintillating form, demonstrating their title credentials with a hard-fought 3-2 victory against Atalanta last weekend. The win, their eighth from 11 away games, propelled them to the 50-point mark, maintaining a three-point lead over their closest rivals, Inter Milan. ............ Juventus, under the guidance of Thiago Motta, have proven difficult to beat this season, remaining undefeated in Serie A. However, their campaign has been marred by an inability to convert draws into wins, with over half of their games across all competitions ending in stalemates. A recent 2-0 victory over AC Milan provided some relief, but a subsequent goalless draw against Club Brugge in the Champions League highlighted their ongoing struggles. The Bianconeri now find themselves as outsiders to secure a top-eight finish in Europe’s premier competition. ............ Team News ............ Juventus face selection dilemmas in attack, with top scorer Dusan Vlahovic dropped for “technical reasons” and Nico Gonzalez failing to impress as a false nine. New loan signing Randal Kolo Muani could feature from the bench, while Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceicao are in contention to start after overcoming recent injuries. Expected Starting XIs Napoli: Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Jesus, Olivera; Anguissa, Lobotka; Politano, McTominay, Neres; Lukaku Juventus: Di Gregorio; McKennie, Kalulu, Gatti, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Thuram; Yildiz, Koopmeiners, Mbangula; Gonzalez Match Prediction Given Napoli’s current form and home advantage, coupled with Juventus’ struggles to turn draws into wins, a narrow victory for the hosts seems the most likely outcome. Conte’s tactical acumen and Napoli’s determination could well see them edge this encounter by a single goal, potentially ending Juventus’ unbeaten run in Serie A. Prediction: Napoli 1-0 Juventus .

Renato Veiga set to join Juventus on loan - but he'll be back at Chelsea in the summer Juventus will pay a €5 million (£3.8m/$5.2m) loan fee for Veiga’s services, with an additional €1m potentially due in bonuses based on performance. The agreement does not include a purchase option, ensuring Veiga’s eventual return to Chelsea later this year. ............ Chelsea had indicated their willingness to loan out Veiga, provided that both playing opportunities and financial terms were met. While Marseille and Borussia Dortmund were among the clubs initially interested in securing Veiga, Juventus ultimately met the criteria laid out by the Premier League side to lure him to Turin. ............ Veiga has struggled to secure consistent playing time at Chelsea. Despite making 18 appearances for the Blues this season, he has only started one Premier League match. Most of his contributions have come in the Conference League. ............ .

Forte nel gioco aereo oltre che molto rapido palla al piede, sa calciare con entrambi i piedi. Carriera Club Gli inizi Nato a Bondy da una famiglia di origine congolese, cresce nei settori giovanili di Villepinte, Tremblay e Torcy; sempre in quel periodo effettua due provini in Italia con L.R. Vicenza e Cremonese, senza venire tuttavia tesserato. Nel 2015 entra a far parte del settore giovanile del Nantes, ed a partire dal 2016 viene impiegato nella seconda squadra del club gialloverde militante nel Championnat de France amateur. Il 12 febbraio 2017 riceve la prima convocazione in prima squadra in vista del match di Ligue 1 contro l'Olympique Marsiglia ed il 6 giugno seguente firma il suo primo contratto professionistico. La stagione seguente, pur giocando esclusivamente con le riserve, si avvicina alla prima squadra partecipando agli allenamenti settimanali e prendendo parte ad alcune amichevoli; l'8 giugno 2018 rinnova il proprio contratto fino al 2022. Il 30 novembre 2018 debutta in prima squadra rimpiazzando Majeed Waris al 68' della trasferta persa 3-0 in casa del Saint-Étienne; debutta dal primo minuto il 21 gennaio seguente, nell'incontro di campionato perso 1-0 contro l'Angers. Al termine della sua prima stagione fra i professionisti colleziona 6 presenze, di cui la maggior parte spezzoni di gara, tutte in Ligue 1. Prestito al Boulogne Il 22 agosto 2019 viene ceduto in prestito al Boulogne fino al termine della stagione; debutta con la nuova squadra otto giorni più tardi nel match di Championnat National vinto 1-0 contro l'Avranches, mentre il 21 febbraio 2020 realizza la sua prima rete, decisiva per la vittoria di misura contro il Le Puy. Nel club rossonero si rivela come uno dei giocatori di maggior talento del campionato, contribuendo con 3 reti e 5 assist al raggiungimento del terzo posto in classifica nel torneo terminato anzitempo per via del covid. Nantes Rientrato al Nantes si ritaglia fin dalle prime giornate il ruolo di centravanti titolare nella squadra guidata da Christian Gourcuff ed il 18 ottobre 2020 realizza la sua prima rete con i canarini aprendo le marcature nella sfida casalinga vinta 3-1 contro il Brest. Autore di 9 reti ed altrettanti assist in 37 presenze, con il club vive una stagione travagliata terminando il campionato al terzultimo posto ed accedendo di conseguenza ai play-out contro il Tolosa, vincitore dei play-off di Ligue 2; proprio la sua rete del 2-1 nel match di andata si rivela decisiva per la permanenza del club in massima divisione, nonostante la sconfitta di misura (1-0) nel match di ritorno. Preso ormai il comando dell'attacco dei canarini, la stagione successiva è compartecipe della vittoria della coppa di Francia contro il Nizza, oltre che del nono posto in classifica in campionato. A livello personale, in campionato, contribuisce con 12 reti e cinque assist in 36 presenze, tra cui una doppietta contro il Lens nel 3-2 del 10 novembre 2021 e uno dei tre gol con cui les nantais hanno battuto Paris Saint-Germain il 19 febbraio 2022. In coppa è invece protagonista nella sfida dei quarti di finale contro il Bastia vinta per 2-0 grazie ad una sua rete ed un suo assist. Eintracht Francoforte Il 4 marzo 2022 firma un accordo quinquennale, valevole dal 1º luglio successivo, con l'Eintracht Francoforte. Conclusa la stagione con il Nantes, si aggrega ufficialmente alla squadra di Francoforte sul Meno, con cui debutta il 5 agosto in occasione della gara di Bundesliga persa 1-6 contro il Bayern Monaco, in cui segna anche la prima rete con le aquile. Cinque giorni dopo fa il proprio debutto in una competizione europea, giocando da subentrato la finale di Supercoppa UEFA persa per 2-0 contro il Real Madrid. Dopo il debutto in una competizione confederale europea, debutta in UEFA Champions League nella sconfitta interna per 0-3 contro lo Sporting Lisbona. Nel corso della fase a gironi è decisivo per la qualificazione dei die adler alla fase successiva, la prima da quando la competizione ha assunto l'attuale denominazione: il 26 ottobre segna una rete - la sua prima in campo europeo - nella vittoria contro il Olympique Marsiglia; mentre la settimana successiva segna il gol decisivo nella vittoriosa trasferta contro lo Sporting Lisbona (1-2). Il 7 febbraio 2023 segna la prima doppietta in coppa di Germania ai danni del Darmstadt (4-2) e il 18 dello stesso mese, raggiunge anche la doppia cifra in campionato, nella gara casalinga vinta 2-0 contro il Werder Brema. Il 21 febbraio gioca gli ottavi di Champions League di andata contro il Napoli, venendo espulso - prima volta in carriera - al 58' minuto per un pestone ai danni di Zambo Anguissa, sul punteggio di 1-0 per i partenopei. Conclude la sua prima stagione in Bundesliga segnando nel totale 15 gol e fornendo 11 assist, diventando il terzo miglior realizzatore del campionato e il secondo miglior assistman. A fine stagione verrà inserito nei candidati al Pallone d'oro arrivando 28º. Il 29 agosto 2023, in un'intervista per Sky Deutschland, dichiara pubblicamente che il Paris Saint-Germain ha fatto una "offerta record" per ingaggiarlo e manifesta l'intenzione di trasferirsi a Parigi, dopo aver informato i dirigenti dell'Eintracht del proprio desiderio di lasciare il club. Rifiutatosi di allenarsi con il club tedesco, viene escluso dalla rosa per la partita di Conference League contro il Levski Sofia, ricevendo critiche per il suo comportamento dal direttore sportivo dell'Eintracht, Markus Krösche. Paris Saint-Germain Il 1º settembre 2023, nel corso dell'ultima giornata della sessione estiva di calciomercato, si trasferisce al Paris Saint-Germain per 75 milioni di euro più 15 milioni di bonus. Esordisce il 15 settembre, nella sconfitta per 3-2 in casa del Nizza, e il 24 settembre segna il suo primo gol con il PSG, nella vittoria per 4-0 nel classique contro l'Olympique Marsiglia. Nel 2023-2024 si aggiudica campionato, Coppa di Francia e Supercoppa di Francia. Prestito alla Juventus Il 23 gennaio 2025 viene ceduto in prestito alla Juventus, con cui firma un contratto valido fino al 30 giugno successivo. Debutta da titolare due giorni dopo, nella sconfitta in trasferta per 2-1 contro il Napoli, in cui segna la rete del vantaggio allo scadere del primo tempo. Registra la sua prima doppietta in maglia bianconera il 2 febbraio seguente, nella vittoria casalinga sull'Empoli (4-1), per poi ripetersi nella partita successiva, vinta 1-2 sul Como, in cui realizza la seconda doppietta consecutiva in Serie A, consentendo ai bianconeri di portare a casa i tre punti e diventando il primo giocatore a segnare cinque reti nei primi tre match ufficiali in Serie A, oltre che ad eguagliare il record di Roberto Baggio nell'andare a segno nelle sue prime tre partite in maglia bianconera, cosa che non succedeva da 35 anni. Contribuisce con 8 reti in campionato alla conquista del quarto posto. Confermato per la coppa del mondo per club FIFA 2025, all'esordio segna una doppietta nel successo per 5-0 contro l'Al-Ain . Nazionale Il 1º ottobre 2020 riceve la prima convocazione da parte della nazionale under-21; debutta l'8 ottobre nel match di qualificazione per gli europei 2021 vinto 5-0 contro il Liechtenstein. Nel marzo seguente viene incluso nella lista dei convocati per la prima fase del campionato europeo 2021, dove gioca tutti e tre gli incontri. A causa dell'impegno nei play-out con il Nantes non viene convocato per la fase a finale della competizione venendo rimpiazzato da Arnaud Kalimuendo. Il 25 giugno 2021 viene convocato per i giochi olimpici di Tokyo 2021; mentre il 15 settembre 2022, riceve la prima convocazione con la nazionale maggiore. Debutta con i blues il 22 settembre successivo contro l'Austria subentrando nei minuti finali a Kylian Mbappé. Inizialmente escluso dalla lista dei convocati per il campionato del mondo 2022, il 16 novembre viene scelto da Didier Deschamps come sostituto dell'infortunato Christopher Nkunku. Il 30 novembre successivo debutta ad un Mondiale - e per la prima volta da titolare - in occasione dell'ultima gara della fase a gironi persa 1-0 contro la Tunisia. Non utilizzato per le gare degli ottavi e dei quarti contro Polonia e Inghilterra, torna in campo, da subentrato, in occasione della semifinale contro il Marocco (vittoria 2-0) segnando anche il primo gol in nazionale. Nell'occasione diventa il terzo giocatore più veloce a segnare un gol da subentrato nella fase finale dei Mondiali, con 44 secondi, succedendo solo a Richard Morales e Ebbe Sand. Il 18 dicembre seguente, subentrato al 40° del primo tempo ad Olivier Giroud, disputa la finale contro l'Argentina persa ai tiri di rigore, procurandosi il rigore del momentaneo 2-1, poi realizzato da Kylian Mbappé, fornendo l'assist per il pareggio di quest'ultimo e segnando anche il proprio rigore nella serie finale, trasformazione inutile ai fini del risultato. Convocato da Deschamps per prendere parte al campionato d'Europa 2024 in Germania, è relegato tra le seconde linee dei bleus, ma prende parte da subentrante a due gare su tre della fase a gironi, mentre agli ottavi di finale contro il Belgio proprizia l'autogol del belga Jan Vertonghen, decisivo per il passaggio del turno dei francesi. Successivamente va a segno in semifinale contro la Spagna, portando i transalpini in vantaggio nella sfida poi persa per 2-1. Viene convocato per la fase finale della UEFA Nations League 2025 che si svolge in Germania, dove mette a segno una rete nella semifinale contro la Spagna, persa per 5-4, in cui i transalpini chiudono col terzo posto finale.

Una curiositá divertente: Muani é nato a Bondý ...... Buondí Motta. É arrivato nel posto giusto. Benvenuto Randal!

Kolo Muani: ‘Proud to be at legendary Juventus’, ‘Motta made me want to sign’ Randal Kolo Muani says that he is ‘proud’ to be at a ‘legendary’ club like Juventus, and has explained how Thiago Motta managed to convince him to move to Turin from Paris Saint-Germain. Juventus have officially announced the signing of the Frenchman on a six-month loan deal until the end of the 2024-25 season. ............ “I’m very, very happy to be here at this legendary club. I’m proud to wear these colours and play in front of the fans,” the France international said during his first interview with the club. Asked which players from Juventus’s long list of French players he admires the most, he said: “There are lots of French players who have made history here. Zinedine Zidane, of course, David Trezeguet is another one I like a lot. A bit closer to our time, there’s Paul Pogba and also Khephren Thuram is doing very well here, so I’m delighted to be here.” He also revealed what Thiago Motta said to convince him to join the Bianconeri: “I’ve been chatting for a while with the coach, he told me about the style of play here and that made me want to sign here. I can’t wait to start training and get out on the pitch.” ............ “I don’t have a preference between the two, I just prefer to be on the pitch,” he replied. “I’ll play wherever the coach puts me. If I had to choose, I would say as a centre-forward, that’s where I can express myself best.” There was also a final greeting for the Juventus supporters: “I hope to see you soon in the stadium, ciao ciao.” .

Official: Juventus sign Kolo Muani on loan from PSG Juventus have finally been able to officially announce the signing of Randal Kolo Muani on loan from Paris Saint-Germain after red tape delays. The deal is a dry loan until June 30, so there is no option to buy at the end of the season. ............ Just hours later, Juventus were finally able to announce the arrival of Kolo Muani. It means the France international will be available for Saturday’s Serie A match against leaders Napoli. The 26-year-old came through the FC Nantes academy and shot to fame at Eintracht Frankfurt, earning a €95m transfer to Paris Saint-Germain in September 2023.
