Randal Kolo Muani, the 26-year-old French national team striker who was struggling at Paris Saint-Germain, has been loaned out to Juventus Turin until the end of the 2024-2025 season without an option to buy. Initially, he bounced back well and the Turin club announced its intention to keep him. However, this did not materialize, and the situation is very different today. The Italian press confirmed on Tuesday that the striker is not expected to return, while other leads have been launched. One of these is Gonçalo Ramos (PSG’s 23-year-old striker).
“Kolo Muani moves away from Juventus!
Juventus continue to struggle with Paris Saint-Germain’s demands for Kolo Muani: €50m or a loan with compulsory purchase option at €45m + €5m for the loan.
That’s why Comolli is taking precautions and working on three options:
Hojlund
Gonçalo Ramos
Nunez
Hojlund is the active Plan B!
As far as Kolo Muani is concerned, several Premier League clubs have set their sights on the player, with Manchester United and especially Newcastle now pushing for a move.
As reported by TuttoMercatoWeb, ManUnited are unconvinced by Hojlund’s performances and wish to sell him, with Juve interested!
This would enable Man United to speed up their pursuit of Kolo Muani. What’s more, the English club would like to recruit a striker quickly after Ekitike’s rejection. CorSport / Tuttosport “
We’re cautious, there’s nothing concrete yet, and we know that the mercato can change very quickly. Kolo Muani was recently very close to Juventus. Today, that may be forgotten. Let’s wait and see;
But the fact that the striker’s transfer has failed to materialize suggests that there is a major stumbling block. Paris and the French international could then turn to the big-spending Premier League this summer, where recruitment is still expected.
As for Juventus’ new leads, it’s quite credible for Hojlund and Nuñez, who are struggling at Manchester United and Liverpool. Perhaps something could be done for Ramos, except that a less costly deal than PSG’s demand for Kolo Muani looks very complicated. It’s hard to see Juventus suddenly having the means to make an attractive offer.
