One Key Issue Stops Juventus from Paying Nearly €60M for PSG’s Arsenal, Newcastle Target | OneFootball

Randal Kolo Muani immediately impacted Juventus, scoring seven goals in 11 appearances since joining on loan from Paris Saint-Germain during the winter transfer window.

PSG are hoping that Kolo Muani’s strong form in Turin will spark interest ahead of the summer transfer window. Their goal is to recover at least half of the €95 million spent to bring him in from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023.

Kolo Muani saw limited action this season under Luis Enrique, with only two starts across all competitions. However, with the managerial change at Juventus, his situation could shift once more.

Igor Tudor has taken over following Thiago Motta’s departure, leaving the future of Kolo Muani uncertain under the new coaching regime.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport (h/t Le10Sport), Kolo Muani will not be able to negotiate a move to PSG unless Juventus qualifies for the next Champions League.

Without the approximately €60 million that teams competing in the competition receive, Juventus won’t have the financial resources to pull off such a deal. Furthermore, Kolo Muani may not be eager to stay in Turin if it means missing out on Europe’s top club competition.

TMW recently reported that Juventus are considering another loan offer to PSG for Kolo Muani. While this option remains on the table, the 26-year-old forward’s high salary could complicate it. At the start of the summer, PSG is expected to prioritize a permanent sale of the former Eintracht Frankfurt player.

Kolo Muani’s future at Juventus is still up in the air, but there’s definitely interest in him this summer. According to TuttoJuve, Arsenal and Newcastle United are currently leading the chase for the 26-year-old French forward.

Earlier reports from Nicolò Schira suggested Kolo Muani was a priority for Thiago Motta, and Juventus were preparing an offer. But now that Motta’s no longer at the helm, the club’s top brass are rethinking whether spending close to €60 million on the striker still makes sense.
