Randal Kolo Muani has made it clear that he wants to stay at Juventus next season.
Kolo Muani joined Juventus on loan in January from PSG until the end of the 2024-25 season.
He had a positive second half to the campaign in Turin, scoring eight goals in 16 games and playing a crucial role in rescuing Champions League qualification for Juve.
Juventus extended his loan to cover the Club World Cup, and he has already scored twice in two games in the United States.
Muani wants to stay at Juventus
Juventus wish to keep Muani and have been in negotiations with PSG to come to an agreement, with the Italians only able to afford another one-year loan with either an option or obligation to buy.
In recent days, reports have emerged that Chelsea have joined the race for Muani.
The Blues are searching for a top striker next season, while Man Utd and Tottenham have also been linked.
Muani has made his intentions clear, though, that he wants to remain at Juventus.
“I have no doubts: I want to stay at Juventus,” Muani said to reporters.
“I am trying to focus on the Club World Cup, which is a very fast competition. Once the tournament is over, we will see what happens on the market. However, I am really happy at Juventus, I feel good.”
The Athletic added on Tuesday that reports that Chelsea will make a move for Muani are wide of the mark.
Muani isn’t part of Luis Enrique’s long-term plans at PSG and the reigning Ligue 1 champions are eager to offload him in an attempt to recoup some of the €95 million transfer fee they paid to sign him in 2023.
Meanwhile, Fabrizio Romano reports that Juventus have accepted a €22m offer from Nottingham Forest for Tim Weah and Samuel Mbangula. The two players must still agree to the deal.
