Kolo Muani not guaranteed to stay at Juventus as Newcastle interested in PSG deal | OneFootball

Randal Kolo Muani is not guaranteed to stay on at Juventus beyond the summer, and is in fact likely to leave if the Bianconeri do not secure Champions League qualification this season, as Newcastle United could step forwards with a proposal if Alexander Isak is sold during the next transfer window.

Kolo  Muani joined Juventus on a straight loan deal during the January transfer window. There was no buy option included, which means that Juve will need to return to the negotiating table with Paris Saint-Germain if they are to extend the striker’s stay beyond the 2024-25 season.

Why Newcastle could challenge Juventus for Kolo Muani

There had been suggestions that Juventus could look to negotiate another loan deal, possibly with an option or obligation to buy at the end of the 2025-26 campaign, which the Old Lady hopes could bring the total cost of the operation down.

However, all is not quite as secure as it seemed a few weeks ago. Despite scoring five goals in his first three Serie A matches, Kolo Muani has not hit the back of the net in any competition for a month.

Meanwhile, Juventus only have a one point buffer between themselves and fifth place with 10 matches of the Serie A season left to go, which means there is a long way to go before Champions League qualification is secured.

According to Calciomercato.com, all of the above factors means that Kolo Muani joining Juventus on a permanent or loan with obligation to buy is no longer a guarantee, particularly with Newcastle beginning to register an interest.

The Premier League outfit have one of the most valuable strikers in world football on their books in the form of Isak, who is reportedly valued in the region of €200m, but with reports that the Swede could be on the move in the summer, Kolo Muani becomes an enticing and affordable opportunity for the Magpies.
