Juventus Chief Breaks Silence on Failed PSG Talks Over Tottenham Newcomer

Journalist Ben Jacobs reported that after transfer talks with Juventus broke down, PSG has loaned Randal Kolo Muani to Tottenham Hotspur for the 2025-26 season.

The move gives the French striker a chance to regain the form he showed during his time in Italy. Although Aston Villa and Newcastle United made late attempts to sign him, Tottenham ultimately landed Kolo Muani for the campaign.

Despite ongoing discussions throughout the summer, PSG and Juventus could not agree on a deal, paving the way for Kolo Muani’s deadline-day switch to Spurs.

Juventus’ general director Damien Comolli broke his silence on Thursday on the Kolo Muani failed transfer.

“Reports on issues with Nasser Al Khelaifi due to Randal Kolo Muani deal are completely fake,” Comolli said. “We didn’t have any problems with PSG chairman, these are all lies”.

Recently, The Independent’s Miguel Delaney reported that Tottenham stepped away from what could have been one of the summer transfer window’s most significant moves while chasing a top-tier attacking signing.

The club ultimately focused on bringing in Kolo Muani after the Serie A team reportedly set a staggering £87 million price tag on Rafael Leao.
