He arrived in the Piedmont at the end of January with the hope of relaunching himself and finding a smile after a first complicated season in Paris Saint-Germain. The beginnings of Randal Kolo Muani at Juventus Turin had also been idyllic: five goals quickly registered, flattering comparisons with David Trezeguet, and the feeling of attending a real Italian renaissance for the 26 -year -old French striker. But football goes fast, very quickly. In recent weeks, the situation of the tricolor international has radically changed under the orders of the new coach, Igor Tudor. Faced with this sudden downgrading and its growing disappointment, a strong decision concerning its immediate future would have been made.
So, will Kolo Muani stay or leave? While some echoes evoke a clear -cut outcome, the reality revealed by The team is more nuanced, although a trend emerges strongly. The “decision” that seems to be taken is above all that of the player himself: deeply disappointed by his low playing time under Tudor (45 minutes in 3 games), the former Nantesseis would not imagine staying in Turin beyond his loan (which ends in June, without purchasing option) if the situation continues. However, the sports daily specifies that it is
“Far too early” To speak of a definitively “Actée”.
The horizon darkens for Kolo Muani.
The change of coach at the end of March, with the replacement of Thiago Motta (who wanted it) by Igor Tudor, was the major turning point. Despite a reassuring speech on his arrival, Tudor clearly seems to prefer Dusan Vlahovic at the forefront and gives very little credit to Kolo Muani. Sources even evoke possible pressure from the Turin management to promote the Serbian (big investment of the club), a version however denied by the entourage of the Croatian coach. In any case, this lack of confidence of Tudor is the main reason for the current spleen of the French striker.
Kolo Muani, Juve and PSG between calculations and uncertainties
The future of Kolo Muani will therefore depend in large part … from that of Igor Tudor, whose maintenance on the bench next season is far from guaranteed, even in the event of qualification for the Champions League. If Tudor came to leave,
The team Indicates that Kolo Muani would have “more likely to stretch his lease”. Juventus would not, in this case, not dismiss a new loan with compulsory purchase option with PSG. On the Parisian side, where the incompatibility with Luis Enrique is acted, we especially seek to limit the financial losses of an expensive transfer, while knowing that the player keeps a certain rating on the market.
In conclusion, if the current “decision” of Randal Kolo Muani leans towards a departure from Juventus in June because of its situation under Tudor, nothing has yet been engraved in marble. His short -term future remains suspended from the decisions that the management of Juventus will take over his coach for next season. The French striker, after a short -term Italian dream, finds himself again in expectation.
