Juventus rage at ‘amateurish’ PSG over Randal Kolo Muani loan blunder | OneFootball

Juventus FC are reportedly furious at PSG over the Parisians’ handling of Randal Kolo Muani’s (26) loan move to the Serie A side, according to L’Equipe. This Friday, Juventus head coach Thiago Motta confirmed in his presser the arrival of the France international centre-forward on loan for the remainder of the 2024-2025 campaign. But reports emerged in the evening that Kolo Muani’s switch knew a significant setback as it was revealed that PSG had already reached the limit of six players that they can send abroad on loan.

To this day, Les Parisiens have sent Xavi Simons (Leipzig), Carlos Soler (West Ham United), Nordi Mukiele (Bayer Leverkusen), Renato Sanches (Benfica), Juan Bernat (Villarreal) and Cher Ndour (Besiktas) on loan until the end of the season. To comply with FIFA rules, PSG can’t send Kolo Muani on loan, despite the player having already undertaken his medical and signed his Juventus contract.

L’Equipe reports that Juventus were informed of this blunder very recently by their Ligue 1 counterparts as no PSG executives reportedly transmitted this fundamental bit of information to the Bianconeri, maybe because they had no idea of this limit themselves, the outlet ponders. Juventus Sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli was reportedly apoplectic, aiming his anger at Pasquale Sensibile, who oversees PSG loanees, with the Serie A giants labeling their Ligue 1 counterparts as “absolutely amateurish.“

PSG confided they were perfectly aware of this particular rule, but their assertion is fairly weakened by the fact their headquarters were particularly raucous this Friday, L’Equipe reports. The outlet understands that PSG loanee Cher Ndour could leave Besiktas and be sold to an Italian side, which would allow Kolo Muani to join Juventus on loan.
