Zenga: ‘Juventus don’t have striker worth 15 goals per season’

Pundit Walter Zenga has criticized Juventus's transfer strategy, arguing that new signings Randal Kolo Muani and Nick Woltemade lack the goal-scoring prowess required for the team. He expressed concern over the club's inability to replace the production of former striker Dusan Vlahovic.
