Juventus Get Bad News as PSG Sticks to Demand for Newcastle, Tottenham-Linked Ace
PSG are hoping his form in Turin will help boost his market value ahead of the summer transfer window. The club is aiming to recoup at least half of the €95 million it paid to sign him from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023.

Kolo Muani struggled to earn consistent minutes under Luis Enrique, starting just two matches all season. His long-term future remains uncertain and could depend on how things develop with Juventus' new coaching staff.
Following Thiago Motta's departure, Igor Tudor took over as manager. While Kolo Muani had to fight for a place early on, he featured more regularly as the 2024-25 season went on. Juventus kept him through the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, but now that the club has been eliminated, the French forward will have to decide on his next move.
PSG remain firm on stance for Juventus targetAdvertisement
Negotiations are still ongoing between Juventus and PSG over a potential deal for Kolo Muani, according to Calciomercato. Juventus are reportedly aiming for a second loan that includes a permanent option, while PSG would rather sell the 26-year-old striker outright this summer.
Recently, Gianluca Di Marzio reported that Juventus have opened talks with PSG over a potential loan deal for Kolo Muani, with an option to buy. However, PSG are not willing to accept that kind of arrangement.
In April, GIVEMESPORT reported that Tottenham Hotspur are ready to make another move for the French forward if Juventus chooses not to make his loan permanent.
Tottenham are expected to pursue attacking reinforcements this summer, regardless of whether Ange Postecoglou stayed on as manager, which he didn't.

Meanwhile, TuttoJuve previously revealed that Arsenal and Newcastle United are currently at the front of the pack. Whether it's another loan or a permanent switch, his future could be one of the summer's most talked-about storylines.
