Randal Kolo Muani’s arrival at Juventus has been nothing short of spectacular. The French striker, on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, has made an immediate impact, scoring five goals in just three starts for the Bianconeri. His performances have not only impressed the fans but have also caught the attention of manager Thiago Motta and the club’s hierarchy.
Calciomercato report how, Initially brought in to provide attacking options for the remainder of the season, Kolo Muani’s contributions have been so significant that Juventus are already considering making his move permanent. The 26-year-old has demonstrated his versatility, playing as a central striker in place of Dusan Vlahovic or as a wide forward when needed.
Kolo Muani’s ability to link up play, create depth in the attack, and finish chances has made him an integral part of Motta’s tactical setup. His goal-scoring record speaks for itself, with notable performances including a goal at Napoli’s Stadio Maradona, a brace in a comeback win against Empoli, and another double in the recent victory over Como.
The financial aspects of a potential permanent deal are complex. Juventus have already invested significantly in the loan, spending up to 5 million euros when including bonuses. PSG, who acquired Kolo Muani for a total of 90 million euros from Eintracht Frankfurt in September 2023, will be looking to recoup a substantial portion of that investment.
To avoid a financial loss, PSG would likely demand a fee in excess of 45-50 million euros. Juventus might be able to fund such a move through the potential sale of Vlahovic, who has been linked with Premier League clubs and Saudi Arabian teams.
Kolo Muani’s current salary at PSG is reported to be around 9 million euros gross per year, which, while significant, is not out of reach for Juventus. It would place him among the highest earners at the club, but still below Vlahovic’s current wages.
After his recent match-winning performance against Como, Kolo Muani expressed his happiness at Juventus. His integration into the team and his on-field success suggest that both the player and the club are open to extending their relationship beyond this season.
