Former Juventus striker Nicola Amoruso believes Romelu Lukaku is a better fit for the Bianconeri than Paulo Dybala, ‘especially in the Champions League’.
Amoruso competed with the likes of Alessandro Del Piero, Filippo Inzaghi and David Trezeguet for a first-team spot at Juve between 1996 and 2002 but nonetheless managed 29 goals and three Scudetti.
As an ex-Old Lady hitman, he was asked about the club’s desire to swap Dybala for Manchester United’s No 9.

As an ex-Old Lady hitman, he was asked about the club’s desire to swap Dybala for Manchester United’s No 9.
“He’s a player who has great strength, especially for Europe,” the 44-eyar-old told Il Bianconero.
“It’ll be crucial for Lukaku to integrate with Ronaldo so the Portuguese can take advantage of his movement and physique.
“He’s the type of player who can make the difference right away. If he doesn’t have problems settling in, he can be decisive in the short term. Above all, he’ll add what was missing in the Champions League games.
“Dybala has more technique, but Lukaku is certainly not lacking in that department. Indeed, he combines good technique with an impressive physique.
“Dybala, on the contrary, has struggled more, especially in the Champions League, to impose his own technique because he is less physical.
“I think it’s a very reasoned choice by the management.”
