Juventus are looking at Jean-Philippe Mateta as a possible new striker. They are thinking about this because Dusan Vlahovic might leave. Vlahovic's contract is up, and Juventus are not sure if he will stay. So, they are looking for someone else.
Mateta is a good player. He wants to do well and play in the World Cup. He is motivated and ready to work hard. Juventus like this. They need someone who can help the team.
But, Mateta has not played for a big team like Juventus before. He is 29 years old. Some people think he might not be as good as Vlahovic. Juventus know this. They are not expecting miracles. They just want someone who can help the team.
Juventus have other strikers, but they are not doing well. Jonathan David and Lois Openda are not playing well. This makes Mateta look like a good choice.
Juventus are ready for a change. They know it will be hard. But they are hoping Mateta can help. They are not expecting too much. They just want to see improvement.
