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. So far, he has been back in form with some fine performances, and the Turin club have already announced their desire to keep him. Whether and how this will be possible remains to be seen. Except that he’s been playing less since the change of coach, Igor Tudor having replaced Thiago Motta. According to Djamel, this management of the striker is a strategy full of cunning.
An instruction from management to prepare for the mercato?
“Since the arrival of Igor Tudor, RKM hasn’t started any of the three games.
The reason is simple and not necessarily linked to the qualities of the French player compared to Vlahovic.
Apart from clinching a place in the LDC, Juventus have little left to play for in Serie A, and the summer mercato is looming.
With this in mind, the Croatian coach has been instructed by the management to play the Serbian in order to increase his value, to the detriment of the Parisian striker.
The Italian club intends to kill two birds with one stone by increasing Vlahovic’s value in order to sell him, while lowering Kolo Muani’s in order to buy him or extend his loan at a lower cost.”
It’s not impossible, as we all know, with the mercato and club management sometimes involving tactics that are not always easy to understand in detail. PSG may have a certain demand for Kolo Muani, especially given his string of decisive moves. But to penalize him in sporting terms is daring.
There’s nothing concrete yet, so let’s be cautious. Even if we have some confidence in this source. A simple sporting choice is possible. As is the fact that Kolo Muani won’t be staying at Juventus and is looking for another club.
