As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Monday, July 14, could prove decisive in negotiations between Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain over Randal Kolo Muani. Juventus director Damien Comolli is expected to present a new proposal for the French international, whose loan spell with the club concluded after their recent Club World Cup elimination. Juventus are working to secure his return for the upcoming season.
Loan with option to buy vs permanent move
While Juventus are pursuing another temporary agreement, PSG remain firm in their demand for a permanent transfer. The Ligue 1 side values the striker at approximately €40–45 million and is not inclined to agree to another loan. Nevertheless, the Turin-based club is reportedly preparing a structured offer that includes a loan fee—potentially around €10 million—paired with an option to make the move permanent next summer.
Offensive reinforcements and departures
Despite already securing Jonathan David on a free transfer from Lille, Juventus remain active in the market as they reshape their attacking options. One major component of this shift is the possible departure of Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbian forward has shown no intention of renewing his contract beyond 2026, and the club is exploring opportunities to transfer him elsewhere. Bringing back Kolo Muani would help fill that potential void and add depth to the front line.
Balancing the budget and building the squad
Juventus’ strategy reflects both financial caution and sporting ambition. Instead of investing heavily upfront, the club is favoring deals that offer flexibility—such as loans with purchase options—especially when navigating high-profile targets like Kolo Muani. Whether PSG will be open to such terms remains to be seen, but the coming days are expected to bring clarity as both sides attempt to reach a compromise.
