When it comes to negotiating for the services of Randal Kolo Muani, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain appear to be stuck in the same kind of circle they can’t get out of.
We hear the teams are going to talk, those talks happen, and then we’re left at the same kind of impasse that we’ve been stuck at for over a month or so now — wondering if either side will budge when it comes to how they want the deal to be structured.
So far, according to Tuttosport on Sunday, Kolo Muani is still very much somebody
Juventus want to sign this summer. And, as far as we can tell, he has rejected all other approaches — mainly from the riches of the Premier League — because his top hope is to ensure that his stay at Juventus goes beyond the now-completed Club World Cup. But as time passes, it appears that PSG’s willingness to let Kolo Muani spend the 2025-26 season on loan at Juventus becomes more and more of a possibility, with there still being squabbles over whether there will be an option or obligation to buy at the end of the upcoming campaign.
But here’s something new that Tuttosport has thrown into the mix: Juventus are willing to get a Kolo Muani deal done even before they have Dusan Vlahovic’s future settled.

PSG, understandably, don’t want to see Kolo Muani — who has reported for preseason training with the European champions earlier this week — for a serious loss on the books after investing such a massive transfer fee in him two summers ago. That would mean an option or obligation to buy worked into the deal that is no less than €40 million.
Can that actually happen?
That’s the million dollar question at this point.
At this point, there is no reason for Kolo Muani to stay in Paris. He doesn’t want to stay there and PSG manager Luis Enrique has made no desire to work him back into the squad after his initial loan spell with Juventus during the second half of the 2024-25 season. He’s still very much out of the project, and that is an opportunity that Juve and new general manager Damien Comolli are hoping to take advantage of this summer.
Whether they can actually do so remains to be seen, though.
Or, we can just quote Tuttosport on this one: “Kolo Muani-Juventus is like Star Wars’ Yoda would say: it’s either do it or do nothing.”
