Leave it to this summer-long transfer saga between Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain to take at least one more twist before something may finally happen ahead of Monday\u2019s summer transfer deadline.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Because, well, it only feels like something that has lasted for months just isn\u2019t going to suddenly resolve itself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
According to Le Parisien<\/a> on Friday and since confirmed by Sky Sport Italia<\/a> later in the day, Juventus are now inclined to try and sign Kolo Muani on a season-long loan deal \u2026 and that might be it. No expected obligation to buy that\u2019s only a matter of details but is totally expected to happen. Hell, there might not even be an option to buy under certain conditions. But Juventus still want to bring in Kolo Muani for the 2025-26 season on a dry loan and not have so much of a strain on the current budget because they now will have to commit to paying Vlahovic\u2019s Serie A-high \u20ac12 million net salary until at least January and likely for the entire campaign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Sky Italia transfer reporter Gianluca Di Marzio<\/a> describes Juventus\u2019 new terms to try and bring Kolo Muani in ahead of Monday\u2019s deadline as \u201ca very expensive loan with an obligation linked to certain conditions.\u201d What those conditions may be, it\u2019s hard to really say at this point because these negotiations have proven to be such a complete change of what each sides wants every couple of days. According to Sky Italia, this new structure of the deal \u201cis due to Financial Fair Play.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n But with the deadline to get this deal done now just three days away, something is going to have to give in either direction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Sky Italia notes that Juve are trying to get this deal done while having very little financial wiggle room \u2014 which, as you can probably guess, is another by-product of Vlahovic and his lofty salary still being on the books this season. Juventus, in this case, would likely have to pick up most if not all of Kolo Muani\u2019s very large salary for the 2025-26 season, which stands at around \u20ac8 million net, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n When asked about Kolo Muani at Thursday\u2019s Champions League draw, Comolli said: \u201cThere are still many things that can happen until Monday evening. We will do everything possible to improve the squad.\u201d Comolli also refused to speak directly about Kolo Muani\u2019s status with Juventus considering he is still a PSG player even though he has not been training with the squad since they returned from their post-Club World Cup break earlier this month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
