Juventus are once again in negotiations to sign Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain, though the transfer could prove protracted, potentially extending even after the completion of Alexander Sorloth’s move, according to reports from TuttoSport. The primary obstacle remains financial, with PSG prioritizing a cash offer over a player exchange, dismissing suggestions involving Juventus’ Samuel David.
Despite previous failed attempts, the situation is less complicated than in past windows. Luis Enrique reportedly does not feature Kolo Muani in his tactical plans, and the player’s contract is set to expire in 2028 with no renewal anticipated. PSG are keen to avoid a loan deal with only one year remaining on the contract.
PSG have reportedly lowered their valuation of Kolo Muani to around €35 million, a decrease from the €50 million asked last season, which aligns with the fee Juventus hope to receive for David. This suggests a potential “one in, one out” dynamic to the Bianconeri’s transfer strategy. The club are determined to avoid a repeat of last summer’s drawn-out negotiations, which ultimately led to Kolo Muani joining Tottenham Hotspur on loan, a spell he did not enjoy.
Kolo Muani is reportedly eager to join Juventus and has the full support of the squad, who view him as a strong fit both on and off the pitch. Juventus are hoping to finalize the deal quickly to avoid losing out on the player once again. PSG are now open to a loan with an obligation to buy, but are seeking reasonable conditions. The successful completion of this transfer would provide Juventus with a much-needed attacking reinforcement.
