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. He initially bounced back well, and the Turin club announced its intention to keep him. However, coach Thiago Motta has since been replaced by Igor Tudor and things have become more complicated for the player, with his future once again in doubt. However, Tuttosport insists that the dossier is progressing well.
“In recent days, Juventus have intensified contacts with PSG for Kolo Muani! PSG are open to selling the striker, provided that the loan is accompanied by a compulsory purchase option. According to the latest developments, the most likely hypothesis in this dossier leads to Juve’s acceptance to include this compulsory purchase option at an amount not yet determined!”
There’s nothing official yet, so we can only be cautious. It’s important to remember that the mercato only takes shape when there’s something concrete. However, Kolo Muani has been finding game time and making decisive moves of late, so it’s quite conceivable that Juventus will try to keep hold of him. Whereas a return to Luis Enrique’s PSG is virtually out of the question.
That’s not enough to be certain, however. An agreement between all parties is needed, which is far from simple. There are sometimes stumbling blocks despite a common basic idea. So let’s wait and see, especially as other clubs may try their luck since there is no purchase option in the current loan.
