Juventus Pushes Late for Kolo Muani on Loan-to-Buy Deal as Zhegrova Path Opens

PSG's decision on a loan-to-buy offer will determine whether Juventus can land its preferred striker under strict fair play limits.

Overview

  • Juventus is awaiting PSG’s answer to a proposal for Randal Kolo Muani structured as a paid loan of about €10 million with a €45–50 million buy option that could turn into an obligation under set conditions.
  • Talks have continued into deadline day with Juventus willing to raise the loan fee and tie any obligation to triggers such as Champions League qualification, while a short-term dry loan has also been explored in reporting.
  • If PSG refuses the structure, Juventus has prepared alternatives, with Lois Openda of RB Leipzig identified as a more economical Plan B after earlier soundings on other forwards.
  • Lille president Olivier Letang publicly ruled out a move to Marseille for Edon Zhegrova but invited other offers, and Juventus has a broad personal agreement in place pending terms with Lille.
  • The pursuit of Zhegrova depends on space created by Nico Gonzalez’s expected move to Atlético Madrid, as Juventus prioritizes loan-with-obligation formulas under UEFA financial constraints, a trend underscored by Napoli’s Hojlund deal.
