On 15 September, Soulé scored his first two career goals in a 3–2 win against Feralpisalò in the second round of Coppa Italia Serie C.[9] On 24 September, he extended his contract with Juventus until 2024 with option until 2026.[10] On 7 November, he scored his first goal in Serie C in a 1–0 win against Lecco with a curling shoot in the 43rd minute.[11] On 30 November, Soulé made his official debut for the first team in a 2–0 win against Salernitana coming on as substitute during the stoppage time.[12]

Throughout the season, he also played for Juventus U19 in the UEFA Youth League,[13] scoring two openers against Chelsea; one for each group stage-match.[14][15] With two goals in six games, Soulé helped the U19s reach the semifinals, their best-ever placing in the competition.[16] During the semifinal against Benfica, Soulé took the last penalty of the game which he missed causing his side's 4–3 lost at penalty shoot-outs after a 2–2 draw.[17]
