Randal Kolo Muani, the 26-year-old French national team striker who was struggling at Paris Saint-Germain, has been loaned to Juventus Turin until the end of the 2024-2025 season without an option to buy. He initially bounced back well, and the Turin club announced its intention to keep him. However, this has yet to materialize, and we are awaiting an official announcement. L’Equipe assures this Sunday that discussions are underway, but with some competition.
“It won’t be Juventus or anything else”.
“Juventus hope to be able to achieve this by proposing a new paying loan with a very easily attainable purchase option. Paris prefers a straight transfer, but has not been inflexible in discussions.
The former Nantes man, for his part, would like to stay in Serie A, and has made this clear. Despite this clear statement, Kolo Muani is not closing any doors. It won’t be Juventus or anything else, especially as the market for strikers looks set to be very active this summer. Chelsea have already positioned themselves and are even in talks with PSG. Manchester United, who have been keen on this type of profile in recent seasons, have shown less interest for the time being.”
Beware, there’s nothing certain without concrete elements. All we know is that Juventus would like to keep Kolo Muani, and the striker has made it clear that he likes this option. But other options may be possible, should negotiations stall while other clubs are making attractive offers to the player and to PSG.
The Premier League is a possible solution. But be warned, these are just rumours, and they could also come from Kolo Muani’s agent, PSG, or both. The aim is to put a little pressure on Juventus. An agreement with the Italian club remains the most likely outcome today.
