Randal Kolo Muani’s impact at Juventus has been nothing short of impressive since his arrival in Turin. While no concrete plans have been made, there’s a growing sentiment within the club that the French striker could be more than just a temporary solution.
Calciomercato report that the signals coming from Continassa are clear: Kolo Muani has won over everyone, especially manager Thiago Motta. His versatility, team-first approach, and ability to link up play have made him a first-choice striker, often preferred over Dusan Vlahovic. He’s even shown his adaptability by playing as a wide forward when needed.
The numbers speak for themselves. In just 172 minutes of play, Kolo Muani has netted three goals in two starts – one at Napoli’s Stadio Maradona and a brace against Empoli at the Allianz Stadium. These statistics will play a crucial role in determining whether a permanent move is feasible at the season’s end.
Juventus have already invested significantly in this loan deal, spending €1 million on the loan fee, €2.6 million in additional costs, and potentially up to €3 million in bonuses. This total outlay of over €5 million for a dry loan indicates the club’s belief in the player.
Come the end of the season, Juventus will enter negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain, who are open to selling Kolo Muani but are looking to recoup a significant portion of their investment. PSG acquired him from Eintracht Frankfurt in September 2023 for a total of €90 million, including bonuses. To avoid a loss, they would need to sell for over €45-50 million.
This substantial sum could be within Juventus’ reach, particularly if Dusan Vlahovic departs. The Serbian striker, whose contract runs until 2026, is likely to be offered to the highest bidder in the summer, with Premier League and Saudi League clubs showing interest.
Beyond agreeing terms with PSG, Juventus will need to negotiate with Kolo Muani’s representatives. The 26-year-old currently earns a gross salary of €750,000 per month at PSG, amounting to about €9 million gross annually plus bonuses. While significant, this wage is in line with Juventus’ top earners like Bremer, making a deal potentially feasible from a financial standpoint.
