Muani failed to return, Juventus entered two forwards, and the new battleship led by Tudor set sail

24 hours before the transfer window closed, Juventus management experienced a roller coaster madness. The failed Muani negotiations and the quick launch of Plan B outline the fickleness of the football world. In Turin City on September 1, the air was filled with the tension of the transfer deadline. Juventus management is fully operating the transfer of French striker Muani. The scorer who played on loan last season has reached a personal agreement with the team, but due to differences in the transaction format between the clubs, he ultimately failed to pass the Paris Saint-Germain level. According to Monte Carlo Radio, Paris Saint-Germain has terminated negotiations with Juventus because Juventus has repeatedly revised the structure of the transfer agreement, resulting in slow progress in negotiations.

01 The truth about Muani's failure in transfers

Juventus has been pursuing Paris Saint-Germain striker Muani throughout the summer. Pretenberg, a well-known reporter from Sky Sports in Germany, confirmed: "Although Juventus has reached an agreement with the player himself, this transfer will not be advanced at present." Transfer expert Romano revealed the key to the problem: "The problems encountered by Muani's transfer occur in the form of Juventus's transaction with Paris, not the player himself." Muani has wanted to join Juventus for more than three months, but the two clubs have never reached an agreement. Paris Saint-Germain has temporarily suspended negotiations with Juventus and the deal has been stranded. This is undoubtedly a major blow to Juventus, because Muani performed well during loan last season and became the starting center in Tudor's 3421 formation.

02 Quickly launched Plan B

Faced with the deadlock in Muani's transfer, Juventus quickly launched "Plan B". Romano updated his updates on social media on August 31: "Juventus and Paris have not reached an agreement on Muani's transfer. At the same time, Juventus has re-connected with RB Leipzig and listed Oponda as the first replacement after the failed deal." Oponda joined on loan on the line, and the 25-year-old Belgian center joined from RB Leipzig on loan, with a loan fee of 3.3 million euros and 800,000 floating funds. The contract contains a buyout clause that is enforced after certain conditions are met, and the fee is 40.6 million euros and is paid in four years. Opunda played 45 times in Leipzig last season, contributing 13 goals and 7 assists. He is not tall but strong, and is a "short, thick and fat" center.

03 Eastern European "Robben" joined

Juventus also strengthened the winger position, buying 26-year-old Kosovo right winger Gegrova (also known as Zegrova) from Lille. Romano announced with his personal iconic "Here we go" that Juventus will sign the Lille winger. Lille has accepted a transfer plan of more than 20 million euros. Gegrova has reached an agreement with Juventus on personal terms and hopes to join Juventus. Juventus officially disclosed that Gegrova's transfer fee is 14.3 million euros, paid in four years, with an additional 1.2 million surcharge including broker commissions, and there are floating clauses below 3 million. Gergrova made 21 appearances in Lille last season, contributing 8 goals and 2 assists.

04 Tudor's team building ideas

Juventus Club expressed high trust in head coach Tudor. Tudor is accustomed to "tightening the fence" first, and then seeking to try to score through quick counterattacks. In June this year, Turin Sports reported that Juventus plans to introduce three to four players this summer that can enhance the overall strength of the team. The team is clearly aware of the need to strengthen the roster, especially on the offensive line, with the goal of bringing at least one player on each front, especially the need for No. 9 is very urgent. Tudor hopes to establish a more impactful and fast-paced team system in the new season, and now the addition of Oponda and Gegrova is just in line with his tactical needs.

05 After completing these operations in the new season's forward lineup, Juventus' forward will have six generals in the new season. Such a front line configuration combines speed, technology and diversity. Openda can be used as a mid-lane assaulter, and Gegrova provides breakthrough capabilities on the wing, plus the original players such as Vlahovic and Yeldes, Tudor has more choices on the offensive end. Juventus completed the signing of these two strikes at the last moment of the window closing day, showing the management's ability to adapt and execute in the transfer market.

06 Challenges and opportunities coexist

Juventus struggled to win fourth place in Serie A and qualified for the Champions League last season with a coach change. In the new season, with the addition of many new players and the gradual maturity of head coach Tudor's system, the team is expected to strive for better results on multiple fronts. Although Opunda is not as highly anticipated as Muani, he is more cost-effective and has a certain impact and goal-scoring ability. Gegrova is known as "Eastern European Robben", and his breakthrough and passing ability will enrich Juventus' offensive methods. The competition in the Serie A is becoming increasingly fierce, and teams such as Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Naples are all strengthening their strength. Juventus' new lineup takes time to get started, but if Tudor's tactical philosophy can be effectively implemented, the Zebra Legion will still be competitive. After the transfer window is closed, Juventus forward ushered in a new combination: Openda (left) and Gergrova (right) join, while Muani (center) regrets not returning. Juventus's transfer window operation demonstrates the management's ability to adapt. With the main target Muani not reaching, they quickly turned to alternatives and introduced two powerful attackers at relatively reasonable prices. Juventus will set sail under Tudor's leadership, and although not the originally planned lineup, it is still a team capable of competing on multiple fronts. Zebras fans have reason to keep their expectations for the new era.
