Overview
- Multiple outlets report Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain are exploring a summer exchange of Jonathan David for Randal Kolo Muani, with no agreement announced.
- Kolo Muani has signaled through his representatives that he wants a permanent return to Turin after a 10-goal stint on loan with Juventus.
- PSG are pushing for a permanent exit for Kolo Muani rather than another loan as they move on from their 2023 outlay for the striker.
- Reporting describes the deal as conditional on aligning valuations around €40 million and on Juventus securing a Champions League place.
- Analyses note a swap could suit Juventus’ books because David joined on a free and the players’ wages are similar, which points to a potential capital gain if he departs.
