With the FIFA Club World Cup just days away, Juventus are finalizing their squad for the tournament, set to debut on June 19. One of the key figures expected to feature is Randal Kolo Muani, whose future at the club has become a central topic as his loan from Paris Saint-Germain approaches its original expiration.
Kolo Muani’s Situation
(as quoted by IlBianconero) how Kolo Muani joined Juventus in January on a loan deal from PSG, and despite his contract being set to expire at the end of June, both clubs have reached an agreement to extend his stay through the Club World Cup. The French striker, who has impressed in Turin, is not part of PSG’s plans for next season, making a permanent move or an extended loan a real possibility.
Two Scenarios for the Future
Juventus are eager to retain Kolo Muani beyond the Club World Cup and are currently exploring two main options:
-
Loan Extension with PSG Covering Part of the Salary: Juventus hope to negotiate a deal where PSG continues to pay a portion of Kolo Muani’s substantial salary, which is estimated between €7 and €8 million per season. This arrangement would likely set a fixed transfer fee for the summer of 2026.
-
Loan with Obligation to Buy: The alternative, reportedly favoured by PSG, is a loan deal that includes an obligation for Juventus to purchase Kolo Muani if certain conditions are met. This formula would provide PSG with more financial certainty and could facilitate a smoother transition for the player.
Comolli’s Role and Negotiations
New Juventus general manager Damien Comolli’s strong relationship with PSG could prove decisive in these negotiations. His connections may help Juventus secure favourable terms, ensuring Kolo Muani remains a key part of their attack for the upcoming season.
