Juventus is still looking for a stable striker, a problem that has been consolidated since the start of the season. Coach Gian Piero Spalletti had to face the difficulty of finding a reference centre-forward, a role that so far has been occupied by numerous players without anyone having been able to consolidate.
Among the proposals that the management received, the most unexpected was that of Milutin Osmajic, the young Montenegrin striker who made headlines in the opening phase of the championship. With three goals in seven appearances, Osmajic has shown a good performance, even if the average of a goal every 189 minutes does not yet make him a phenomenon. However, his ability to work hard on the pitch, often invisible in the data, could be what Juventus are looking for.
Genoa coach De Rossi admitted to having suggested other names to the management for the signing campaign. In particular, he stressed that he would never have thought about Osmajic, but recognized that Juventus could benefit from a player of that profile. De Rossi then attributed the responsibility to the club for having overlooked a proposal which, in his opinion, could have satisfied Spalletti's needs.
Despite the promise of a true center forward in this evening's match at Ferraris, the role still remains uncertain. Juventus must decide whether to rely on an emerging striker like Osmajic or continue to look for a more traditional solution. In any case, the absence of a defined striker continues to be a critical point for Spalletti's team, which must find a way to give coherence to the attack and improve results in the championship.
