Juventus Confident of Landing Man Utd, Newcastle United Target Amid PSG Uncertainty | OneFootball

Randal Kolo Muani impressed during his loan stint at Juventus, registering 10 goal contributions in 19 matches across all competitions. Despite that strong showing, no deal has been reached between Juventus and PSG, leaving his future up in the air and potentially opening the door for Premier League interest.

PSG are hoping his solid form in Turin boosts his market value heading into the summer. The club is aiming to recoup at least half of the €95 million they spent to bring him in from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023.

Kolo Muani struggled for minutes under Luis Enrique in Paris, starting just two games all season. His next move could depend on how he fits into new Juventus head coach Igor Tudor’s plans. Tudor, who took over from Thiago Motta, gradually gave the French striker more opportunities late in the season.

Kolo Muani earned consistent minutes down the stretch, but the big question now is where he’ll end up next.

According to Tuttosport (h/t Le10Sport), Juventus are reportedly very keen on bringing Kolo Muani back to Turin. That lines up well with the player’s own priorities, as he is said to favor a return to the Bianconeri this summer. Aware of the circumstances, Juventus reportedly believe they are in a strong negotiating position.

The Italian outlet claims the club is doing everything possible to dissuade PSG from pursuing a loan with an obligation to buy, instead pushing for an optional purchase clause. As long as Kolo Muani prioritizes a move back to Juventus, general manager Damien Comolli is expected to keep pressuring PSG to lower their asking price.

While negotiations are still ongoing, there is reportedly no urgency to finalize a deal. Talks are expected to resume at the end of July or in early August. The question remains whether Kolo Muani will return to Juventus—or end up elsewhere, with reported Premier League interest also in the mix.

Santi Aouna of Foot Mercato recently reported that Manchester United and Newcastle are both showing interest in Kolo Muani, as Premier League sides are said to admire the 26-year-old’s skillset and have already made inquiries.
