PSG – Juventus: Kolo Muani’s definitive transfer provokes Nasser Al-Khelaïfi’s anger!
Paris Saint-Germain are at a crossroads regarding the future of Randal Kolo Muani , who has been on loan at Juventus since last winter transfer window. While the French capital club is looking to reduce its wage bill by permanently selling the French striker, negotiations with the Old Lady are expected to be tense.
A desire to sell… but not at any price

Recruited with great fanfare by PSG in the summer of 2023 from Eintracht Frankfurt for around €90 million, Kolo Muani has never really managed to establish himself in Parisian colors. Struggling in a demanding team, he was loaned to Juventus in the winter transfer window in order to regain playing time and confidence.
His decent performances in Serie A convinced the Italian club to attempt a permanent purchase offer , but this has far from satisfied the Parisian management. According to several sources close to the case, Juve would have offered less than 30 million euros to buy the striker, an amount well below PSG’s expectations.
Al-Khelaïfi furious at the “insulting” offer
Parisian president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi reportedly made no secret of his displeasure at what he considers a “disrespectful offer” , given the club’s initial investment and the potential still present in Kolo Muani.
“We are open to discussion, but not to selling off our players. Kolo Muani still has real market value on the European market,” a source close to the president reportedly said.
A strategic file for the future of PSG
Behind the scenes, PSG’s sporting management is considering a balanced solution: finding a compromise with Juventus or seeking another buyer for the player during this summer transfer window. Reducing the wage bill remains a priority, particularly in view of the squad’s reform for the 2025-2026 season and the arrival of potential new reinforcements in midfield and attack.
However, the club does not want to appear as though it is a seller under pressure. The strategy seems clear: either Juventus increases its offer , or Kolo Muani could return to Paris… or be offered to other interested teams, particularly in the Premier League or the Bundesliga.
Juventus playing for time?
Turin hopes that PSG’s willingness to shed some wages could play a role in a bargain transfer . However, relations between the two clubs could become strained if no significant progress is made in the coming days.
The Kolo Muani saga is only just beginning, and could well liven up a good part of the summer on the European transfer market.
