Kolo Muani breaks silence on his Juventus future: ‘Why not?’ | OneFootball

Juventus forward Randal Kolo Muani would be glad to remain at Juventus ‘if things continue like this’ and insists he’s happy to cover different positions in the attack: ‘You have to be versatile.’

Kolo Muani joined Juventus on loan from PSG in the January transfer window and has scored five goals in his opening six Serie A appearances with the Bianconeri. The French forward won the Serie A Player of the Month for February.

Juventus are willing to keep the France international beyond the summer, and Kolo Muani confirmed he’d be happy to remain in Turin.

“My desire is to play and enjoy myself. But if things continue like this, why not? Juventus are the club that opened the doors for me,” he told Repubblica.

Kolo Muani has immediately become the starting centre-forward at the Allianz Stadium, and this is hardly surprising given that coach Thiago Motta played a key role in negotiations during the January transfer window.

“I spoke a lot with him before coming here; he explained how he saw things, how we would play,” said Kolo Muani.

“That’s what attracted me and pushed me to sign. I didn’t expect my debut to go so well.”

Kolo Muani also played as a winger during his first few weeks in Turin, making room for Dusan Vlahovic upfront, but what’s his favourite role on the pitch?

“I’m a forward, and nowadays, you have to be versatile,” he said.

“So, I feel comfortable both in the centre and on the wing. I prefer playing in open spaces, making runs in behind, and using my speed, but I’m also showing that I can combine in tight spaces, like against Verona, where the goal came from the pass I gave to Locatelli.”

Juventus have been eliminated from Coppa Italia and Champions League but are only six points below Serie A leaders Inter and host Atalanta in their next game on Sunday.

“Football is like that. It’s better to take it one game at a time,” Kolo Muani concluded.

“I’m happy to face Retegui with Atalanta, I didn’t know him well before, but I’m impressed by how comfortable he is in front of goal and his hunger for scoring.”
