Juventus are ramping up its efforts to secure the services of Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain, following their recent return from Saudi Arabia where they faced a defeat against AC Milan in the Supercoppa Italiana semifinals. With concerns over Arkadiusz Milik’s ongoing injury issues, the club is keen to bolster its attacking options to support Dusan Vlahovic.
Sky Sport Italia report how Kolo Muani, a French striker who has also attracted interest from AC Milan, remains a primary target for Juventus. The club aims to be prepared for any favorable conditions that may arise during the January transfer window. However, Kolo Muani’s current salary poses a challenge, and he has seen limited action this season, featuring only ten times in Ligue 1 with two goals and one assist, as well as four appearances in the Champions League.
The forward did not participate in PSG’s recent Supercoppa victory against Monaco, further indicating his diminished role within the team. Reports suggest that PSG is open to letting Kolo Muani leave this January, potentially paving the way for a deal with Juventus.
Juventus is exploring various strategies for the transfer window. One option includes a loan deal with a buy clause, which has garnered interest from multiple European clubs. Additionally, there are discussions about a possible exchange involving Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbian striker has struggled to maintain form and is currently the highest-paid player in Serie A. With only 18 months left on his contract, Juventus is keen to maximize his market value before his contract expires.
The prospect of a swap deal involving Vlahovic and Kolo Muani has emerged as an intriguing possibility for both clubs.
