Juventus and PSG Begin Exploring Swap of Strikers | OneFootball

Juventus could have an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone thanks to a swap with PSG involving Randal Kolo Muani, whom they have always coveted, and Jonathan David, for whom they are seeking a buyer, La Gazzetta dello Sport relays.

The two teams have started examining the idea. Their relationship has normalized in recent months after the tension following last summer’s window. The Canadian marksman played under director Luis Campos at Lille, filling his boots.

PSG have been trying to offload Kolo Muani permanently, while Juventus aren’t totally convinced to part ways with David after just one season, but they’ll do it under the right circumstances. The two forwards have similar salaries. The two sides could agree on a mutually beneficial valuation. The Old Lady would turn a profit no matter what, as they acquired the 26-year-old on a Bosman move.

In the meantime, Dusan Vlahovic is increasingly convinced that staying put is the best option for him at this time. The club offered a short-term contract with €6M wages plus add-ons. He currently makes €8M, and he’s cashing in the final €4M of his initial signing bonus this year. Barcelona and Bayern Munich touched base, but don’t seem too interested.

Our Take on the David and Kolo Muani Swap Between Juventus and PSG

Trades often make a lot of sense on paper, but rarely come to fruition for one reason or another. It’d be a sound solution, technically speaking, but the former took a long time picking his next destination last summer. While he’d be comfortable in the Ligue 1, he might not want to be on the move again so soon and might prefer a team where he’d have a starring role.
