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. He initially bounced back well, and the Turin club announced its intention to keep him. However, this has yet to materialize, and doubts are growing. La Gazzetta dello Sport takes stock of the situation on Monday, without any good news.
Gazzetta: Arm wrestle between PSG and Juve for Kolo Muani. Paris wants to monetize his departure and would like an obligation in the event of a new loan, Juve would simply like an option (by paying a little more for the loan). The English market has been sounded out”
A few weeks ago, Kolo Muani’s future seemed almost settled with a move to Juventus. However, the mercato can be a very complicated affair, and discussions seem to have stalled today. As for the price of the striker, the media are hovering around 50 million euros. Sometimes a little less. But the Italian club doesn’t want more than an option to buy. A point unacceptable to Paris.
Another league where Kolo Muani could continue his career is the Premier League. La Gazzetta dello Sport reported this on Monday, following several other media outlets.
The clubs mentioned include Manchester United, Newcastle and Aston Villa. There’s nothing impossible about it, these clubs also have interesting resources, and the English league could well tempt Kolo Muani. However, there’s nothing concrete on this front either.
