Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti is already mapping out his attacking plans for next season, and French forward Randal Kolo Muani is at the heart of his vision. The Bianconeri have struggled mightily in the center-forward role this campaign, with Dusan Vlahovic sidelined for four months and Arkadiusz Milik making only a handful of appearances over the past two years.

Summer signings Jonathan David and Lois Openda were brought in to inject goals, but the Canadian has been inconsistent, while the Belgian has endured a nightmare season. With the January transfer window failing to deliver reinforcements—a frustration Spalletti voiced after Saturday's win over Lecce—sporting director Damien Comolli and the club are now prioritizing a summer overhaul.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Spalletti wants three center-forwards in his squad next season. He's keen to keep Vlahovic, especially after the Serbian's impressive performances against Hellas Verona and Lecce. The coach values having a physical target man to build the attack around—something sorely missed during Vlahovic's absence.

Spalletti has also given the green light for Kolo Muani's return to Turin. The Frenchman remains a fan favorite after his brief loan stint in 2025, and at 27, he brings both experience and a proven goal-scoring touch. Currently at Tottenham on a forgettable loan, Kolo Muani will head back to Paris Saint-Germain this summer, and the Champions League winners are expected to offload him.

Rounding out the trio, Spalletti wouldn't mind keeping Jonathan David. While the Canadian isn't exactly his preferred style, the coach sees him as a useful option for specific situations, particularly when an extra striker is needed to support the main No.9. On the flip side, Lois Openda is considered surplus to requirements, and Milik may terminate his contract to free up space.

For Juventus fans dreaming of a potent attack, this summer promises to be a pivotal one—and Kolo Muani could be the key piece in Spalletti's puzzle.
