Samuel Mbangula emerged as Juventus' savior on Saturday, scoring a crucial late equalizer to rescue a 2-2 draw against Bologna and extend Thiago Motta’s winless run. Trailing by two goals early in the second half, the Bianconeri mounted a spirited comeback, but the result did little to appease the jeering Allianz Stadium crowd. Despite this, Mbangula stood out as one of the few players to escape criticism, yet his future in Turin remains uncertain.
The 20-year-old Belgian expressed his ambition to score more goals for Juventus, but the club’s management might have different plans. Reports suggest Mbangula is on the list of players Juventus may offload to generate transfer funds. With the hierarchy eyeing defensive reinforcements and potentially a new striker in January, Mbangula's rising interest from Bundesliga and Ligue 1 clubs could prompt a sale to facilitate their transfer goals.
