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, Report informs via Foot Italia.
Calciomercato states 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 has 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.
