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 together. However, an agreement with PSG has yet to be reached, and other options are being considered, particularly in the Premier League. Tuttosport is covering this story on Monday, with Juve having its own plan to follow.
“Kolo Muani only wants to play for Juventus!
This complicates matters for PSG in England, as the French international already has an agreement in principle with the Italian club.
The path is clear for Juventus, who first want to sell Weah, Douglas Luiz (to Nottingham) and Dusan Vlahovic (to AC Milan).
The Italian club’s coach is waiting patiently and now hopes to see Kolo Muani at Continassa on Monday 11th for the resumption of training before the start of the championship.
Juve and PSG have agreed on the formula: a loan with a mandatory purchase option. The amount of the loan and the purchase option still need to be negotiated.
Juve is currently offering a loan fee of €10-15 million with a mandatory purchase option of €30-35 million. Negotiations are continuing between the two clubs, who hope to finalize the deal.

It’s all relatively credible, but we have to remain cautious as the rumors continue without any concrete evidence. So let’s wait and see, even if it all makes sense. Juventus has a few major sales in the pipeline that could well replenish the coffers while freeing up payroll.
We still hope that the transfer of Kolo Muani will move forward at the same time, so that it can be finalized relatively quickly. But these lengthy negotiations are becoming quite tedious, so perhaps the Parisian management is also open to other options.
One of these is the Premier League, as mentioned by several media outlets. However, it is unclear to what extent Kolo Muani would be open to another destination when he would like to return to Juventus.
