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. For the time being, he is back in form with some fine performances punctuated by goals, and the idea of seeing him stay is being mooted. This Sunday, Tuttosport and Corriere dello Sport confirm that the Italian club has already made its choice, while PSG has set its price.
“La Juventus veut garder Kolo Muani définitivement !
Le PSG a fixé le prix : 70M€
Le joueur veut rester en Italie !
Les deux clubs sont actuellement en discussions. La Juve veut qu’il participe à la Coupe du monde des clubs avec le maillot Bianconeri

With the winter mercato barely over, it’s already time to dive back into the rumor mill – that’s what we like about the media… In any case, we’re remaining cautious, since these are just rumors. They make sense, given Kolo Muani’s brilliance on his Juventus debut (5 goals in 3 games). But beware, soccer can move very fast.
The Italian club is well aware of this, and won’t necessarily spend big until it has seen the striker confirm his form over the coming weeks. Even so, it’s possible that negotiations for a summer transfer have already been launched, so we wouldn’t want to be outdone at the mercato when there’s no option to buy.
As far as PSG are concerned, the door should be open, given their inability to adapt to coach Luis Enrique’s game. This has not prevented Kolo Muani from shining in another style of play and championship. Let’s hope this transfer can be confirmed, as it would be a great way out for all parties.
