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. Turin sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli gave us the lowdown on the subject on Prime Video.
Juve sporting director
“We want to keep him and Kolo Muani wants to stay: we’re confident. This player has had a great impact, he’s happy to be here and the relationship between PSG and Juve is excellent.”
The message is clear, even if it was already clear the 1st time. Juventus insist on signing Kolo Muani. It’s a good thing for the striker, who hasn’t been able to impose himself and is regaining his confidence. For Paris too, since there’s hope of a good sale.
However, we have to be careful. Agreement on the price is not a foregone conclusion. It’s all very well for the Italian club to want to keep the French international, but it remains to be seen how much they’re prepared to spend when their coffers aren’t particularly full. Other clubs could also have their say. There may also be some pressure.
