Kolo Muani re-joined Juventus from Paris Saint-Germain this summer, having previously enjoyed a fruitful spell on loan with the Bianconeri in 2025.

The France international spent last season on loan at Tottenham. He made 41 appearances, with 26 of those being starts, while scoring five goals and laying on four assists.

Kolo Muani played the full match as Juve started its Serie A campaign with a 1-0 win over Frosinone, but Spalletti was left hugely frustrated by Kolo Muani's display.

"We went and got Kolo, we’ve looked after him and we know what his value is

"But he has to realise that he hasn't played for two years and there must be a reason for that. Sometimes you think you're at an exceptional level but you've left something behind that you need to go and get back."

Kolo Muani had three shots, though he hit the target with only one.

Spalletti said Juve is in the market for another option up front.

"These are matches in which you have to take goals home because the spaces are in your favour," he said. "The striker we’re looking for might have different characteristics. Today the spaces were there but we weren't able to exploit them.

"I would have preferred the team to show it has an identity, and it did that.

"At certain moments we're a bit light, we're not good at bringing that determination. But it can happen, especially at the start. We'll work on it."

Juve has won 14 of its last 16 season-opening Serie A matches, and kept a clean sheet in seven of its last eight, including each of the last five in a row.
