Juventus Closing in on Kolo Muani and Lukumi Deals
Juventus continues to work on completing the signings of Randal Kolo Muani and John Lukumi before the end of the month, with only a few final details remaining to finalize the agreements.
According to "Corriere dello Sport," the Italian club has increased its offer for Kolo Muani to just over €40 million by adding bonuses, while continuing negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain regarding variables and a resale clause, after the French club requested €50 million.
The newspaper added that the mediation led by Giovanni Carnevali and Frederic Massara has contributed to bridging the viewpoints, while Kolo Muani's desire to move to Juventus remains one of the key factors in completing the deal.
In the case of Juan Lucumi, the newspaper reported that the Colombian defender has halted his negotiations with Galatasaray and Besiktas in respect of his understanding with Juventus, while the sale of one of the team's defenders could provide a new boost for negotiations with Bologna.
In the goalkeeper position, Emiliano Martinez remains on Juventus' radar, but the club has started intensifying its communications with alternatives due to the time constraints.
Vicario and Daiki Suzuki are at the top of the alternative options, as Vicario wishes to return to Italy, while Suzuki is also attracting interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Aston Villa.
