Juventus Get Major Update on Tottenham-Linked Ace Amid Difficult PSG Talks

Juventus have spent the summer chasing PSG attacker Randal Kolo Muani, who is reportedly keen to return to Turin despite interest from Premier League clubs. So far, however, no deal has been struck between the two clubs.

With the transfer window closing in just a few hours, the pressure is mounting, and Juventus may look at alternative options to bring in a forward if needed.

Earlier this month, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano said Juventus remain confident about completing a permanent deal for Kolo Muani. Most of the talks have involved the Italian club, with little movement from Newcastle United or Tottenham.

On Sunday, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported that Juventus and PSG have yet to reach an agreement for Kolo Muani. In the meantime, Juventus have turned to RB Leipzig again, exploring Loïc Openda as a backup option if the Muani deal falls through.

With the Kolo Muani transfer far from done, Juventus manager Igor Tudor addressed the club’s situation heading into the transfer deadline day.

“I only said last March that we were missing three signings,” Tudor said. “I was talking about the transfer market, and nothing has changed.

“This transfer window has been complicated, and Comolli is trying to make the most of it,” Tudor continued on Saturday. “I’m satisfied with the team, and I see the players motivated. Continuity is an added value. We’ll see over the next two days.”
