Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani has opted to join Juventus on loan, rejecting interest from Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, according to reports.
Loan Move to Juventus Finalized
Kolo Muani, who has struggled for consistent game time under PSG manager Luis Enrique, was made available for a temporary move in the January transfer window. Juventus quickly emerged as the frontrunners, and La Gazzetta dello Sport confirms that a deal has now been agreed.
The French forward is expected to travel to Italy in the coming days to undergo a medical before signing a straight loan deal with no purchase clause included.
Rejection of Premier League Interest
Both Manchester United and Tottenham expressed interest in securing Kolo Muani’s services to strengthen their attacking options. However, the 24-year-old has chosen to move to Turin, citing Juventus’ offer as the best fit for his immediate future.
PSG’s Decision to Let Kolo Muani Leave
PSG’s decision to approve Kolo Muani’s departure comes shortly after the club finalized a €70m deal to sign Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from Napoli. The addition of the Georgian winger has eased PSG’s attacking depth concerns, allowing them to loan out Kolo Muani.
Impact on Juventus’ Plans
Juventus had been pursuing Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee, but complications in negotiations led the Serie A side to prioritize Kolo Muani instead. His arrival will bolster Juventus’ attacking options as they push for a top-four finish in Serie A and a strong showing in the Europa League.
Kolo Muani’s PSG Future
The loan move offers Kolo Muani a chance to revive his form and secure consistent minutes. However, his long-term future at PSG remains uncertain, with the club likely to reassess his role in the summer.
