Randal Kolo Muani, the 26-year-old French national team striker who was struggling at Paris Saint-Germain, has been loaned to Juventus Turin 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 working together. However, an agreement with PSG has yet to be reached, and other options are being considered, particularly in the Premier League. L’Equipe provides an update on Sunday with a slightly higher price than previously announced.
«With a stated target of around €60 million.
The French international (31 caps, 9 goals), who enjoyed his loan spell in Turin at the start of the year, wanted to extend his stay at the Piedmont club.
In this case, PSG intends to recoup (some of) the €90 million it spent in the summer of 2023. With a stated target of around €60 million. Discussions between the two parties have been intense. But beyond the total amount, the sticking point is the payment schedule. Comolli is not keen to pay out a lot of cash this summer.
“English clubs remain attentive.”
At the same time, the player has not taken kindly to leaks in the Italian press about a contractual agreement already in place with Juventus. This is not the case. In this context, can the former Nantes player escape Juve? That’s not the trend. But English clubs remain attentive. Manchester United, Tottenham, and even Newcastle, in the event of Alexander Isak’s departure, are keeping in touch.”
A small surprise: the price is now reportedly €60 million. For weeks, all the media have been talking about €45-50 million, so this is a significant increase. It is credible, but we cannot be certain. Especially since there is no agreement. The main obstacle, however, seems to be the terms of the deal, which could lead to a definitive deadlock. Even if there is hope that negotiations are progressing.
For the moment, Kolo Muani still seems to be giving priority to Juventus. However, that could change quickly. The striker probably doesn’t want to wait another month. Especially since there are interesting possibilities that could quickly emerge in the Premier League, a league that is often tempting.
Let’s hope that all of this will help speed things up soon. This saga has gone on far too long, both for PSG and Kolo Muani.
