Kolo Muani leaves Newcastle waiting as PSG forward wants Juventus return

Newcastle United have made an enquiry to PSG over the availability of Randal Kolo Muani, reports from Italy claim, as the French forward continues to wait for a potential Juventus return.

According to what has been reported by the Corriere dello Sport, Newcastle have turned their attention to the former Frankfurt forward after missing out on Benjamin Sesko and Hugo Ekitike. However, the 26-year-old would prefer to play for Juventus, where he spent the second half of last season out on loan.

Juventus patient in Kolo Muani pursuit

Juventus have been linked with another move for Kolo Muani, with the Bianconeri reportedly considering another loan move. However, PSG would like to include an obligation to buy the player at around €40 million as a part of any loan. This may discourage the Old Lady who need to first sell some players in order to spend further.

If Juventus figure out a way to offload Dusan Vlahovic, whose €12 million per season salary eats up a huge chunk of the club’s wage bill, they may be more freely able to bring Kolo Muani back to Turin.
