Juventus pushes through for Kolo Muani: Pellegrino and Kessié also on the line
According to Tuttomercatoweb.
Background
Kolo Muani, who played on loan at Tottenham earlier in the season, has made his preference for Juventus clear. His willingness to reduce his salary and previous connection with the club make him an attractive option for the Serie A club. Juventus hopes that negotiations with PSG go smoothly so that Kolo Muani can make his return to the club.
Why this matters
Juventus' bet on Kolo Muani highlights their ambition to strengthen their attack and compete in Serie A. The France international has a strong connection with the club, which increases the chances of a successful transfer. This would not only improve the quality of the team, but also change the dynamics of the attack, especially with the addition of a player willing to reduce his salary for the move.
Key points
- Juventus push for Kolo Muani: Pellegrino and Kessié also on the line.
- According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Juventus is betting heavily on Randal Kolo Muani and PSG is sticking to around €50 million plus bonuses for the time being.
- Kolo Muani remains central to Juventus's plans.
This summer, Juventus is working purposefully on the attacking and midfield part of the selection. According to transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, Randal Kolo Muani is the absolute priority in Turin. The French international has been on the radar for some time and there is even a tacit agreement between club and player since last year's failed attempt. That earlier turn put relations with Paris Saint-Germain on edge, but a new round of talks must now lead to an agreement.
There is great willingness at player level: according to the same reports, Kolo Muani has again made a clear move towards Juventus this summer. The striker is even prepared to significantly reduce his salary to make the switch possible: a long-term contract around 5.5 million euros per year plus bonuses, while in Paris he was reportedly close to 10 million. The crux therefore lies with the clubs. PSG is sticking to the financial parameters that were already on the table last year: approximately 50 million euros plus variable bonuses (even 55 million was mentioned at the time). Juventus is trying to smooth things over with the French champions and is investigating how the deal can fit within its own budgets and plans.
Striking: Juventus does not want to stick with one name at the forefront. The club is aiming for two profiles. In addition to the agile and profound Kolo Muani, the technical management is looking for a physically strong striker who can act as a stepping stone. In that context, Pellegrino from Parma is mentioned. The search for such a robust number 9 runs parallel to the Kolo Muani file, so that the trainer and management will soon have several attacking variants at their disposal.
There can also still be movement in midfield, despite the recent arrival of Douglas Luiz. Juventus wants therewould like to add an extra powerhouse with international experience and Franck Kessié is at the top of the list. The Ivorian midfielder fits perfectly into the desired profile with his running ability, dueling power and scoring ability. Moreover, he has already proven to be of value in Serie A: Kessié became champion with Milan and knows the pace and intensity of the Italian competition inside and out. There is broad support for his name within the club's top management, precisely because he can deliver immediate returns.
In summary: Juventus firmly presses the accelerator towards Kolo Muani and at the same time keeps alternatives and additions ready in the form of a physically strong striker (Pellegrino) and a dynamic midfielder (Kessié). PSG's price tag makes the operation complex, but the player's willingness and Juventus' clear course keep the file alive. The coming weeks will show whether the Turin club can actually strike on several fronts.
What's happening now
Juventus will remain committed to streamlining negotiations with Paris Saint Germain, with the aim of reaching an agreement on the transfer of Kolo Muani. In addition, the club is also interested in Pellegrino and Kessié, which points to a broader strategy to strengthen the squad. The coming weeks will be crucial for Juventus in their search for reinforcements for the new season in Serie A.
