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 without an option to buy. The Turin club and the player quickly expressed their desire to continue together. According to Di Marzio, Juventus has proposed a new option: a paid loan with a conditional obligation to buy, replacing the loan with a firm obligation of approximately €60 million. PSG has not yet made a decision.
“According to Di Marzio, the new option for Kolo Muani would be a paid loan (high amount) with a conditional purchase obligation.
Unlike the previous option: a loan with a firm purchase obligation (around €60 million in total).
PSG has not yet given its response to this new option. Kolo Muani and Juve are awaiting a response.”
This arrangement demonstrates Juventus’s desire to secure the services of Randal Kolo Muani while limiting his immediate financial risk. The paid loan would provide Paris with an immediate cash inflow, but the obligation to buy, which is contingent on sporting conditions (qualifications, performances, etc.), reduces the guarantee of a permanent transfer.
For PSG, the difference is significant: the first option secured €60 million, while the new one introduces an element of uncertainty. This hesitation from Parisian players is reminiscent of the club’s usual caution when faced with offers deemed too complex. For his part, Kolo Muani, whose first season in Paris was mixed, would welcome a return to Serie A, but remains undecided about the Parisian club’s decision.
