Juventus explores striker options amid Woltemade and Kolo Muani chemistry
Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti is considering playing strikers Nick Woltemade and Randal Kolo Muani together following signs of chemistry between the two. While Woltemade has struggled for minutes in Serie A, having only played 80 minutes off the bench, he has scored in both of his Europa League starts.
Former Juventus striker Aldo Serena has defended Woltemade against media criticism, noting his technical ability to link play and hold up the ball, despite lacking significant pace. Serena also noted a lack of support for Woltemade in recent matches.
To support a potential tactical shift, Juventus officials are reportedly looking to add another striker during the January transfer window. The club is revisiting interest in players such as Folarin Balogun and Alexander Sorloth. Additionally, a swap deal involving Jonathan David has been explored as a potential way to bolster the attacking lineup within a limited January budget.
