5 swap deals top Serie A clubs must make in summer 2025

Swap deals don't get made nearly enough in football, and there's no league with a more enticing slate of potential trades than Serie A with so many clubs hoping to reach that next level, whether it's winning the Scudetto every year or getting over the Champions League hump. Here are five trades for every contending team in the Italian top flight to consider making in the summer 2025 transfer window. Juventus swap Dusan Vlahovic for Randal Kolo Muani with PSG The first swap deal on the list is the most obvious one. Dusan Vlahovic joined Juventus with a lot of hype in 2022 for a fee of over 80 million euros, but he has failed to live up to that hefty price tag - or the weight of being the Juventus No. 9. Vlahovic has so much talent, but it's not working out for him in Turin. With Thi...

Roberto Mancini to meet with Juventus over manager job

Heading into the March international break, Juventus sit just fifth in the Serie A table and are at serious risk of missing out on Champions League football next season in Thiago Motta's first campaign at the helm. Motta led Bologna to the Champions League last season in a fairytale campaign, helping Riccardo Calafiori and Joshua Zirkzee achieve breakout seasons that earned them big-money transfers to the Premier League in summer 2024. Now, Thiago Motta is the leading actor of a severely underperforming Juventus side, and he's effectively discarded some of Italian football's biggest talents, including striker Dusan Vlahovic and No. 10 Kenan Yildiz. Although Juventus have relayed words of affirmation for Motta's job security, the fact that there are reports circulating about possib...

The best reason for and against Juventus firing Thiago Motta

After getting torn to shreds by another rival in the battle for a top-four place in Serie A, the pressure on Juventus manager Thiago Motta is beginning to reach a crescendo. There are valid calls from fans and pundits alike to can Motta just one year after he was hired to replace long-time Juventus manager Max Allegri, who was in his second stint as the club's coach. Juventus are currently outside the top four after losing 3-0 to Fiorentina, which came one week after another embarrassing loss in a big game, 4-0 to Atalanta. Although Motta came into this job with tempered expectations due to a developing squad, it has been jarring to see how some of the team's top players, including former Fiorentina stars Federico Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic, have been outright discarded by the form...

The best possible Juventus starting lineup following Randal Kolo Muani loan transfer

Although Tottenham, Manchester United, and other big clubs were very much involved in the Randal Kolo Muani transfer sweepstakes, the French striker ultimately preferred to join Juventus above the others. Juventus are candidates to win the Serie A title again this year, and while they are currently outside the top four, they remain undefeated after drawing second-placed Atalanta 1-1 on Tuesday night. Kolo Muani was likely attracted to Juventus because of the fact that they are currently in the Champions League, are in a position to reach the Champions League again next season, have a rich history, play in a league that is friendly to attackers, and have a talented striker he can work with in Dusan Vlahovic. Right now, Kolo Muani's deal is only a loan move for six months, but the b...
