Juventus are determined to bring Randal Kolo Muani back to the club, but our transfer pundit Alfredo Pedullà warns the Bianconeri about a ‘financial suicide’ if Dusan Vlahovic doesn’t leave.
Juventus are willing to re-sign Kolo Muani from PSG and have already submitted an offer worth €60m.
Kolo Muani spent the second part of the 2024-25 campaign at Juventus, scoring 10 goals in 22 appearances.
Now, the Bianconeri also signed Jonathan David as a free agent this summer, but are struggling to find a new club for Vlahovic.
The Serbia international will earn €12m in the final year of his contract at the Allianz Stadium and is unwilling to sign a new deal, which would come with a pay cut.
Football Italia transfer pundit Pedullà analysed the Juventus transfer situation in attack in his latest column for Caught Offside.
“Pundits may say, as I’ve heard, that it wouldn’t be a problem for Juve to keep Dusan [Vlahovic], adding that he ‘always scores goals.’ Sure, easy to say when it’s not their money,” wrote Pedullà.
“From my perspective, it wouldn’t be just an economic disaster with few precedents; no one can deny that. It would also be a sporting disaster. Not by chance, Igor Tudor only wants Randal Kolo Muani for tactical reasons as he would pair well with Jonathan David, even if it means paying €60m as PSG demand. Fine, imagine, David plus Kolo, plus Dusan: a fantastic trio, but a financial suicide and finances are the true Scudetto for every club.”
David and Vlahovic scored in Juventus’ 2-0 win over Parma on Sunday night. Juventus’ next Serie A game is away at Genoa this coming Sunday.
