Randal Kolo Muani, the 26-year-old striker signed by Paris Saint-Germain until June 2028, was one of the club’s biggest transfers when he arrived at the summer mercato in September 2023. However, he failed to make his mark and is now on loan at Juventus Turin. However, in recent hours, an administrative problem has thrown a spanner in the works. Josué Cassé insists that PSG knew their loan quota was at its maximum. The reason for PSG’s confidence is that the club has been working in parallel to make room in its long list of loans.

Of course, Juventus may have been too hasty. Nothing’s signed until it’s confirmed. The rest is just an illusion of control. PSG knew that its loan quota was at its maximum, which means that the club will sell one of its loan players or bring one of them back. We’ll know more in the next few hours.
It’s always complicated to read the dealings at a mercato. The clubs have all the ins and outs and can therefore better gauge the reality than the media. We’re waiting for the deal to materialize, but this setback has added fuel to the fire.
