Juventus Faces Losing Kolo Muani

Juventus is at risk of losing the chance to sign French striker Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain, as both Aston Villa and Crystal Palace have entered the race with strong financial backing that could give them an edge in securing the deal.

Kolo Muani had previously played for Juventus on loan in 2025, but the Italian club failed to reach an agreement to extend his stay, leading him to move to Tottenham on loan, which also ended prematurely.

According to "Foot Mercato," Juventus is still trying to bring back the French striker through a loan deal that includes an obligation to buy, with a total value of around €40 million, but negotiations have not made significant progress so far.

The report noted that Juventus's failure to qualify for the Champions League has directly impacted its financial capabilities, complicating the club's management's efforts to finalize the deal and opening the door for Premier League clubs to compete aggressively.

The same source added that Crystal Palace and Aston Villa are prepared to make financial offers that surpass Juventus's, while Borussia Dortmund is monitoring the player's situation, whose contract with Paris Saint-Germain runs until June 2028.

The report also indicated that Paris Saint-Germain has given Juventus ample time to finalize the deal out of respect for Kolo Muani's wishes, but the French club's management is beginning to lose patience as negotiations continue to stall, increasing the likelihood of the player moving elsewhere during the summer transfer window.
