Kolo Muani announces Juventus stay for Club World Cup: ‘I hope to continue’

Randal Kolo Muani has confirmed that he will still be a Juventus player for the duration of the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup in the United States, and has announced his desire to ‘continue’ with the Bianconeri beyond his current loan agreement.

Kolo Muani joined Juventus on a straight loan deal from Paris Saint-Germain during the January transfer window.

There was no buy option included in the deal between the Bianconeri and PSG, which meant that the player was due to return to the Parc des Princes upon the expiry of his loan deal at the end of June.

However, Juventus are one of the two Italian representatives, along with Inter, at the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, which runs from mid-June until mid-July.

That means that the two clubs had to sit down and re-negotiate a temporary extension to Kolo Muani’s loan deal, which was confirmed at the beginning of the weekend.

Kolo Muani, speaking after France’s 2-0 win over Germany in the Nations League 3rd place play-off on Sunday, has confirmed that he will play for Juventus at the Club World Cup and has announced that he wishes to continue beyond his current loan agreement.

“I’m very happy to have been able to play a little bit more, both with the national team and with my club,” Kolo Muani told l’Equipe.

“I’m very happy at Juventus, I hope to continue there, they welcomed me and I’m enjoying it. I’m setting off with them for the Club World Cup.”
