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 other options are being discussed, particularly in the Premier League. La Gazzetta dello Sport reported this Sunday that discussions between the two clubs are well advanced, but that the Italian club must sell before concluding.
“Getting one free in a few days would allow us to bet everything on Kolo Muani.”
“He’s waiting for the Old Lady to make room for him with a transfer. Between the French side’s request and Juventus’s offer, the gap is now minimal, and we can now call it a deal almost done.
The closest could be Fabio Miretti, long courted by Antonio Conte’s Napoli, but Nico Gonzalez, Douglas Luiz, Dusan Vlahovic, Weston McKennie, and Nicolò Savona are also on the list. Getting one free in a few days would allow us to bet everything on Kolo Muani.
€40-45 million, plus bonuses.
The basic agreement was reached with the formula of an expensive loan with a buyout obligation: €10 million immediately and €30-35 million in 2026, to which will be added the usual bonuses. An amount very close to the 45 to 50 million requested by the French. All that’s missing are the final details, which the two clubs will settle when the Bianconeri are ready to conclude the agreement.
This seems like a fairly accurate overview of the situation, although we remain cautious until something official is released. Juventus is certainly working on signing Kolo Muani; they’ve announced it several times. But it’s difficult to know exactly where the situation stands.
But this need to sell before signing him makes sense. The Italian club doesn’t have huge resources and already has a few new signings. While several players are being pushed towards the exit, it’s time for Juventus to make a sale.
For PSG, it’s also highly anticipated that Kolo Muani will finally be released. This is a significant issue, considering the salary and the significant sum to be brought into the coffers. This figure is often mentioned at around €45-50 million, combining the loan and the purchase option, but the fact that bonuses are also mentioned suggests that it will be closer to the higher end. Now we have to wait for everything to settle down, as is often the case during the transfer window.
