Arrived on loan to Juventus last January to relaunch his career, Randal Kolo Muani first impressed: 5 goals in 3 games, devastating dribbles and an energy hailed by the tifosi. But since the arrival of Igor Tudor, replacing Thiago Motta on the Turin Banc, the French international (26 years old) has disappeared from radars: 22 minutes played in two games, zero contribution. A turnaround that questions … and precipitates a crucial decision.
According to Mirko Nicolino, Italian journalist close to the club, Juventus will not raise the (nonexistent) purchase option or will offer extension. “The old lady will not keep Kolo Muani next season”he confirms, evoking a “Cost too high” For a lack of regularity (5 goals and 2 assists in 12 games since February). An active farewell, despite promising beginnings.
If Motta saw Kolo Muani a key asset, Tudor favors other profiles. The attacker, bought € 90M by PSG in 2023, does not enter his tactical plans. Result: a replacement role, statistics in free fall, and a morale at half mast.
“It does not correspond to the intense pressing system requested”, analyzes a Turin observer.
Kolo Muani, why does everyone abandon him?
PSG must now manage this unforeseen return. Luis Enrique, who had dismissed him before his loan, does not count on him. Three options are available to the club: relaunch it by reinstating it (unlikely), sell it (difficult in view of its salary), or lend it again. The Club World Cup in June 2025 could affect the decision.
Between disappointed hopes in Serie A and Porte Close in Paris, Kolo Muani crosses a troubled area. His destiny, now sealed by Juventus, will depend on a tense summer transfer window. It remains to be seen whether a club will dare to bet on the revival of an attacker who has lost … his flame.
