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. He initially made a strong comeback, and the Turin club announced its intention to keep him. However, this has not materialized, and a transfer to the Premier League is now being discussed. Le Parisien confirmed this change on Tuesday evening.
“Several loan offers with a mandatory purchase option have been made by Juve in recent weeks, with the aim of keeping Kolo Muani, but PSG, who signed him for €90 million including bonuses from Frankfurt in the summer of 2023, are standing firm and demanding that a large part of the loan be paid this year and not next year.
At this stage, Kolo Muani still gives priority to Juve, but he has offers in England where Chelsea, Tottenham, and especially Newcastle, which had previously considered Ekitike, are the other clubs likely to make an approach in the coming days.”
There is still nothing concrete, but this is further confirmation that Kolo Muani is currently far from returning to Juventus. The latter does not seem ready to make the offer expected by PSG. PSG is not under pressure, as there are possible options in England. A league where there is no shortage of resources and where Kolo Muani could thrive.
However, nothing is certain yet. We can hope that an agreement will be reached, particularly with one of the clubs mentioned. But there are still no certainties.
