Randal Kolo Muani is expected to leave Tottenham Hotspur and return to Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season. What happens after that remains uncertain, with Juventus still keen.
Sunday was a watershed moment in the Bianconeri’s season. A loss to Fiorentina meant they slipped to sixth in the Serie A, two points away from the Champions League.
This can play a crucial role in how they conduct business in the summer transfer window. Sport Witness have covered their interest in Alisson, with Bernardo Silva also a target.
Now, those targets could be slipping away but things may not change for the Tottenham player.
Kolo Muani keen
TuttoSport report Juve’s move for Bernardo Silva could be over if they miss out on the Champions League. That isn’t true for Kolo Muani, who remains keen on a return to Turin.
In fact, he would walk ‘on foot’ to the city, if Juve come calling once again in the summer. He doesn’t care if they qualify for Europe’s top competition or not, as he seeks regular game time and a chance to make a mark.
Kolo Muani’s time at Paris Saint-Germain is up. The Frenchman is out of Luis Enrique’s plans and would also accept playing in the Europa League next season.
He is still Juve’s main target for attack, with Tottenham set to part ways at the end of the campaign.
Juve may have to finally pay up
Last summer, money was the reason why Tottenham ended up signing the 27-year-old on loan. Juve and Paris Saint-Germain failed to find an agreement over a permanent deal, leading to the Old Lady missing out.
Now, Juve won’t want a repeat of that, knowing that Kolo Muani is an accessible target. While PSG’s valuation has reduced, they won’t be open to a loan deal. The Frenchman has spent two loans already and another one wouldn’t make sense.
That is why Juve would finally have to pay up in the summer. Talks with PSG had broken off last summer as the Italian club tried for a loan.
Having already sent him on loan to the club the previous season, PSG were annoyed by Juve not using their option. It dragged on for so long that talks were ended and Kolo Muani was loaned to Tottenham instead.
