Randal Kolo Muani’s move to Juventus is finally set to be completed, with the last hurdles now cleared. Initially, it was thought that Cher Ndour’s situation would pave the way for Kolo Muani’s official transfer to Juventus. However, Paris Saint-Germain have been working on alternative solutions to facilitate the move.
PSG have resolved all remaining details and documentation to release the former Eintracht Frankfurt striker and allow him to sign with the Old Lady. This development comes as PSG is also trying to arrange a move to Italy for young Italian player Ndour, which would in turn enable Milan Skriniar’s departure to Fenerbahce.
Juventus’ Chief Football Officer, Cristiano Giuntoli, had previously announced that only the final documents were pending. Now, everything has been settled for Kolo Muani’s official transfer to Juventus. The Bianconeri can now formalize the loan arrival of the striker, thanks to the latest moves made by the French club.
PSG managed to free up a loan slot for the French attacker by altering Juan Bernat’s situation at Villarreal. The Parisian club decided to terminate Bernat’s contract, which was due to expire on June 30, with immediate effect. This allowed Bernat to sign a six-month agreement with the Spanish side, simultaneously freeing up a loan slot and paving the way for Kolo Muani’s official arrival at Juventus, as reported by L’Equipe. The official announcement is now expected to come on Thursday.
The former Eintracht Frankfurt striker has always been Giuntoli’s preferred choice to strengthen the attack available to coach Thiago Motta and provide an alternative to Dusan Vlahovic. The deal was never really in doubt. The 26-year-old forward, who had already undergone medical examinations prior to signing the contract and has been training with the rest of the squad, arrives on a straight loan from PSG.
Juventus had secured approval from both PSG and the player himself. The Italian club will cover Kolo Muani’s entire salary for the next six months. In an interesting detail, the player has chosen to wear the number 20 jersey for his stint with Juventus.
