Interest from Premier League clubs in Randal Kolo Muani has pushed Juventus to consider alternative targets, including Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez and Manchester United’s Rasmus Hojlund, with the latter emerging as a more feasible signing.

Juventus are considering their options as negotiations with PSG for Kolo Muani are stalling.

Why Juventus talks for Kolo Muani are stalling

The Ligue 1 giants are seeking a permanent transfer for the France international, who spent the second half of the 2024-25 season on loan in Turin. Furthermore, interest from Newcastle, Manchester United and Chelsea is complicating matters for the Old Lady.

Juventus have already signed Jonathan David on a free transfer, but are planning to sell Dusan Vlahovic this summer, so coach Igor Tudor needs another centre-forward for the 2025-26 season.

Several Italian sources report that the Old Lady is now considering Nunez and Hojlund.

Sport Mediaset highlights that Liverpool want to sell Nunez, a former Napoli target, on a permanent €60m transfer. According to Football Italia sources, the Reds’ asking price is slightly lower at €50m, but the defending Premier League champions are currently unwilling to discuss a loan deal with an option or obligation to buy.

Simone Inzaghi’s Al-Hilal could match Liverpool’s demands, so Hojlund has emerged as a more feasible target for Juventus, given that, according to Sportmediaset, Manchester United are open to discussing an initial loan deal with an option to buy in a €50m transfer package.

As per Tuttosport, Kolo Muani’s teammate Gonçalo Ramos is also among the Bianconeri’s targets for the summer.
