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. The Turin club and the player quickly expressed their desire to continue working together. However, an agreement with PSG has still not been reached, and other options have been put forward, notably in the Premier League. Le Parisien now claims that the player could be heading for England, whereas in recent hours there had been talk of the Italian club.
“Juve’s stance is starting to get on PSG’s nerves.
“Since the start of the summer, Juventus have made several offers of a loan with a compulsory purchase option, but the Parisian club has rejected all of them and is demanding a transfer or, more reasonably, that a large part of the loan be paid now to take advantage of the good rating he retains on the market. At this stage, the positions of the two clubs remain far apart, and the stance taken by Juve is beginning to tense the PSG directors, who had hoped to close the deal much sooner.
Manchester United and Tottenham ready to jump at the chance?
Discussions between the player and the Italian club are progressing well, but contrary to reports in the Italian press, there is still no contractual agreement. At the same time, English clubs remain on the lookout for a situation that could become a little more tense in the coming days if no one makes a move towards the other.
Manchester United continue to follow the former Nantes player, as do Tottenham, who were already interested in signing him last winter.”
Here’s a mercato dossier that’s been in limbo for a long time. At times, it seemed as if Kolo Muani was closing in on a move to Juventus or the Premier League, but there’s always a change after a few days. Difficult, therefore, to guess the outcome. Each option has its arguments, but nothing is certain.
We can’t wait for an official and clear announcement, as the media also seem a little lost. We can assume that the striker could return to Juventus…or discover England. All this in the midst of a possible game of communication between clubs to, perhaps, try to apply a little pressure.
The wisest thing to do is to wait and see what happens next.
