Juventus have quickly learned that Randal Kolo Muani works better with a striker next to him, and he and Nick Woltemade are developing a nice chemistry, but another option would be necessary to use such a solution regularly.

According to TuttoSport, Luciano Spalletti has been promised another marksman in January. The officials are going back to the well and revisiting players they already tracked in the summer, like Folarin Balogun and Alexander Sorloth.

The former was supposed to join Everton for €50M. His transfer collapsed after the medicals. He has had a slow start to the season due to a knee issue and poor conditioning after the World Cup and could leave in January. He posted 19 goals and 5 assists in 43 appearances in 2025/2026.

Juventus could also rekindle their interest in Sorloth, who’s particularly appreciated by Spalletti. He too has dealt with some physical problems. Jonathan David has taken advantage of the situation. The two teams explored a swap in the previous window. Atletico Madrid would be more inclined to go in that direction if the Canadian international keeps producing.

Our Take on the Juventus Attack

The sample size is small, but Kolo Muani and Woltemade indeed seem to lift each other and create more space when they team up rather than while spearheading the frontline solo. However, relying on 4-4-2 constantly would hurt their balance, which isn’t great to begin with. Instead, 3-5-2 is a no-go because they have so many wingers that need and deserve minutes. Their January budget doesn’t figure to be large. A trade is probably the best vehicle to do something sizeable.
