PSG Suffer Setback as Juventus Could Win Talks Over Tottenham-Linked Attacker

Juventus have spent the summer chasing PSG attacker Randal Kolo Muani, with the player keen on returning to Turin despite Premier League clubs’ interest. Moreover, the Italian side might win the negotiation battle for the Frenchman.

With the summer transfer window closing soon, all parties are under pressure, and Juventus may explore other options to secure a forward if needed.

Earlier this month, transfer insider Fabrizio Romano reported that Juventus remain confident about completing a permanent deal for Kolo Muani. So far, talks have been limited to the Italian club, with little progress from Newcastle United or Tottenham.

Le Parisien reports that Kolo-Muani is increasingly likely to join Juventus on a loan deal with an option to buy, rather than a permanent transfer, for around €50 million. The Italian club currently lacks the financial flexibility to sign him outright.

Nonetheless, Romano reported this week that Juventus are in advanced talks with PSG to sign Randal Kolo Muani for a total of €60 million. The deal would include a €5 million loan fee, followed by an obligation to buy for €55 million, with discussions still ongoing on how to trigger that obligation.

It will be interesting to see whether PSG have to settle for an option or perhaps another club comes in at the last minute for Kolo Muani.
