Randal Kolo Muani, the 26-year-old French national team striker who was struggling at Paris Saint-Germain, has been loaned to Juventus until the end of the 2024-2025 season with no option to buy. The Turin club and the player quickly expressed their desire to continue together. However, an agreement with PSG has still not been reached, and the wait continues. La Gazzetta dello Sport reported this Sunday that the deal is near, thanks to the sale of Douglas Luiz (27-year-old midfielder) to Nottingham Forest.
Gazzetta: Douglas Luiz is very close to joining Nottingham Forest, the player has given the green light, and Juve now hopes to collect 40 million euros. This will unblock the #KoloMuani deal, for whom an agreement has been reached with #PSG for 45-50 million (loan with commitments)
It’s still too early to celebrate, as we know the transfer window can change quickly and that certainty only comes with official confirmation. However, the media are optimistic about both cases. There had often been talk of a desire to sell in order to complete the arrival of Kolo Muani; we would finally be there.
It’s high time. This deal seemed obvious even before the start of the transfer window, which closes on September 1 at 8 p.m. PSG could finally turn the page, with a rather attractive sale given the situation last January. Kolo Muani also has a good exit.
