Randal Kolo Muani appeared poised for a return to Juventus, but negotiations have hit a snag. The player, who was on loan at the club 18 months ago, now finds his potential transfer complicated by disagreements over the fee.

Giovanni Carnevali, the general manager of Juventus, acknowledged the challenges, stating, "We are working on several targets, so I wouldn’t focus only on Randal Kolo Muani, even though he is an important one."

He emphasized the significant gap between Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) regarding the transfer fee, adding, "There is still a big gap between the two parties, and we are evaluating the situation. Nobody is putting pressure on us and we can’t afford to make mistakes."

This statement suggests a strategic move by Juventus, possibly to leverage other targets in negotiations to lower the price for Kolo Muani. The approach aims to instill concern in PSG about losing their leverage.

Meanwhile, PSG has been active in the transfer market, recently securing a strong deal for Goncalo Ramos, which alleviates some pressure in their negotiations. Additionally, PSG is reportedly closing in on a €50 million attacker to replace Kang-in Lee, who is set to depart the squad under Luis Enrique.
