Juventus manager Spalletti considers Kolo Muani as winger option

Summary

Luciano Spalletti faces a tactical decision for Juventus as they contemplate signing Alexander Sorloth. With the transfer window closing shortly, questions arise about how to incorporate both Sorloth and Randal Kolo Muani into the lineup. Spalletti's current formation does not support two strikers, prompting suggestions that Kolo Muani could play as an attacking winger instead of alongside another forward. Journalist Bruno Longhi believes this adjustment could allow both players to contribute effectively if Sorloth joins Juventus from Atletico Madrid.
