PSG & Juventus: Muani Transfer Standoff

Juventus are still pushing to strike an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain over a new deal for centre-forward Randal Kolo Muani, but there is no deal in place as things stand, and the Parisians are reluctant to accept Juve’s current proposal according to Wednesday’s reports.

Kolo Muani joined Juventus on a straight loan deal until the end of the 2024-25 season in January. The Bianconeri found an agreement with PSG to extend that loan deal until the end of the FIFA Club World Cup, which, for Juventus, came to an end after a 1-0 defeat to Real Madrid on Tuesday night.

As things stand, Kolo Muani is still a PSG-owned player, and remains under contract until the summer of 2028.

The Old Lady are still keen to bring Kolo Muani back to Turin after netting eight goals from 16 Serie A appearances in the second half of the 2024-25 season.

According to reports from Gianluca Di MarzioJuventus are working to bring Kolo Muani back to the Allianz Stadium on loan with an option to buy, which, however, PSG are not currently inclined to accept.

It is understood that PSG would prefer to either sell Kolo Muani permanently, or to send him on loan with an obligation, rather than an option to buy.
