Randal Kolo Muani, the 26-year-old French national team striker who was struggling at Paris Saint-Germain, has been loaned to Juventus until the end of the 2024-2025 season without an option to buy. The Turin club and the player quickly expressed their desire to continue together. However, an agreement with PSG has still not been reached, and other options are being discussed, particularly in the Premier League. Marc Mechenoua assures that the deal with Juventus is progressing well and that everything should revolve around a paid loan with an easily activated purchase option.
“A brief update on the situation of Randal Kolo Muani, who has already reached an agreement with Juventus. Discussions are progressing between Turin and PSG, which has agreed to the principle of a paid loan with an easily activated purchase option.”
The Randal Kolo Muani deal is taking a decisive turn. Arriving last summer for nearly €90 million, the former Frankfurt player has never fully impressed at Paris Saint-Germain. While his speed and depth are undeniable, he has suffered from competition and a lack of effectiveness in major matches. Juventus has sensed an opportunity and wants to relaunch a player who remains a French international and is highly valued in Europe.
For Paris, this paid loan with an option to buy would be a way to recoup part of the investment and reduce an already substantial payroll, while paving the way for new attacking recruits. This deal also illustrates PSG’s desire to better manage its assets after having long hesitated to take action in this type of situation.
