Juventus Confident of Landing Man Utd, Newcastle United Target Amid PSG Uncertainty

According to Tuttosport (h/t Le10Sport), Juventus are reportedly very keen on bringing Kolo Muani back to Turin. That lines up well with the player’s own priorities, as he is said to favor a return to the Bianconeri this summer. Aware of the circumstances, Juventus reportedly believe they are in a strong negotiating position.

The Italian outlet claims the club is doing everything possible to dissuade PSG from pursuing a loan with an obligation to buy, instead pushing for an optional purchase clause. As long as Kolo Muani prioritizes a move back to Juventus, general manager Damien Comolli is expected to keep pressuring PSG to lower their asking price.

While negotiations are still ongoing, there is reportedly no urgency to finalize a deal. Talks are expected to resume at the end of July or in early August. The question remains whether Kolo Muani will return to Juventus—or end up elsewhere, with reported Premier League interest also in the mix.

Santi Aouna of Foot Mercato recently reported that Manchester United and Newcastle are both showing interest in Kolo Muani, as Premier League sides are said to admire the 26-year-old’s skillset and have already made inquiries.
