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 despite recent optimism. L’Equipe confirmed this Friday the new impasse with the Old Lady.
“A final twist that should not change the outcome of the case.”
“All stakeholders in the case continue to believe that the striker will end up at Juventus in the coming days, but an agreement between the capital club and the Turin club has still not been reached.
In recent hours, the Old Lady’s management has even taken a step backwards by reversing the principle of a paid loan (€5 million) with a purchase option whose automatic activation would be very easily achievable.
Now, Damien Comolli, Juventus’s general manager, has informed the Parisians that he wants a paid loan (still €5 million), with a purchase option whose activation would no longer be automatic, but decided by the Italians. This latest twist shouldn’t change the outcome of the case, but it adds a little tension in these final moments.”
We remain cautious; this is still only a rumor and therefore nothing concrete. But this is a difficult time, with several media outlets once again reporting a problem in the negotiations between PSG and Juventus. While there had been talk of an agreement being almost finalized in recent days.
Let’s hope this is only a small step backwards before a still favorable outcome. But there is reason to doubt it. The series will have been, in any case, painful, to say the least.
