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, so we’re waiting for an official announcement. La Repubblica reports on Tuesday that there are complications.
“La Repubblica: The PSG are demanding around 50 million euros to part with Kolo Muani, far too much for Juve. Jadon Sancho gets closer: decisive meeting this Tuesday, the money won at the Club World Cup (28M) should be reinvested.”
Between a price gap and a strengthened attack without Kolo Muani (Jonathan David has already signed following the end of his contract at Lille), there’s every reason to believe that the door will eventually close. A worry for Paris and the striker? Only if there’s no other option.
But that would be surprising for the French international, and would go hand in hand with the Paris club maintaining a certain price. The Premier League, for example, has already been mentioned in this dossier, even if there’s nothing concrete yet. In any case, Kolo Muani’s future is not yet with Juventus. We need an effort from at least one of the parties. It’s an issue that could drag on for a long time yet, and lead to a completely different outcome from the one outlined over the last few months.
