This signing follows last week’s acquisition of Randal Kolo Muani on loan from PSG. The French forward made an immediate impact by scoring in his debut, although Juventus suffered a 2-1 defeat to Napoli.
The loss to Napoli marked Juventus’ first defeat of the Serie A season, ending their 21-game unbeaten streak. Despite this, the team’s overall performance has been underwhelming, leaving them in fifth place in the standings, 16 points behind leaders Napoli.
In terms of points, this has been Juventus’ worst start to a season in 14 years. With just 37 points from their first 22 matches, the club has not performed this poorly since the 2010-11 campaign.
