Randal Kolo Muani’s impact on Juventus since his January loan move from Paris Saint-Germain has been nothing short of spectacular. The French striker hit the ground running, scoring five goals in his first three matches and continuing to deliver high-level performances even when not finding the net in recent games.
One of his standout moments in the black and white shirt was a brilliant play against Inter Milan, weaving through four defenders to set up Conceicao’s decisive goal. Kolo Muani’s performances have been so impressive that he was named Serie A’s Player of the Month for February, an exceptional achievement for a newcomer to the league.
Corriere dello Sport report (via IlBianconero) that given his success, it’s no surprise that Juventus is keen to extend their relationship with Kolo Muani beyond the current loan deal, which expires on June 30. The club is already planning to secure the player’s future in Turin.
Juventus’ Plan for Kolo Muani
In January, Juventus acquired Kolo Muani on a straight loan deal, paying €1 million for the loan, €2.6 million in additional fees, and €2 million in bonuses, plus covering his €4.5 million gross salary for just five months. This significant short-term investment demonstrates Juventus’ commitment to the player, and they now hope to extend his stay.
The Offer to PSG
As the 2024/25 season comes to a close, Juventus plans to open discussions with PSG about the possibility of signing Kolo Muani permanently. Sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli has reportedly formulated a concrete proposal for PSG:
-
An additional season-long loan until June 30, 2026, at no cost
-
An option to buy set at €45-50 million for the following season
This structure would allow PSG to generate a profit on their initial €90 million investment in Kolo Muani two years ago, as they will have amortized more than a third of that cost by June 2025.
However, Juventus’ ability to complete this deal hinges on one crucial factor: qualification for next season’s Champions League. The club’s financial capacity to pursue such a significant transfer largely depends on securing a spot in Europe’s premier club competition.
