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. Tuttosport takes stock this Tuesday, with some troubling points for Paris.
Kolo Muani has turned down other offers.
“For now, Randal is resisting the test of love: he has rejected all the options, he has said no to a lucrative contract in the Premier League and even to an opportunity in Saudi Arabia, which was not even considered this year, when the striker would at least like to be in the running to try to earn a World Cup selection.
In any case, contacts between the Bianconeri and the player’s entourage continued even during the most worrying moments, namely when PSG, faced with guarantees deemed insufficient, attempted to raise the final price, causing a sudden slowdown after a sharp acceleration.
“Kolo Muani is increasingly a problem for PSG and less and less a request from Juventus”
In the final bend, because it is indeed the final bend, everyone is now careful not to slip up: with each passing day, Kolo Muani is more and more of a problem for PSG and less and less a request from Juventus, especially with this Vlahovic capable of changing the course of matches, of carving out a place for himself, regardless of contractual issues.”
Be careful, nothing is certain until it’s official. We’ll likely wait until the end of the transfer window to get a clearer picture of this very thorny issue. But it appears Juventus isn’t rushing into the matter. The arrival of Jonathan David, following the end of his contract at Lille, is helping. As is the relaunched Dusan Vlahovic, who had previously been rumored to be terminating his contract.
This isn’t going to help PSG, as the striker still seems focused on Juventus. This could change, however, as the French international certainly doesn’t want to find himself stuck in Paris without playing time. A return to the competitive squad seems almost unthinkable.
Now let’s wait for this long-awaited outcome after months of discussions and rumors. This is a difficult matter for PSG, to say the least, and one that may well cause some concern, as it would be truly bad news to see Kolo Muani stay.
