Juventus have reached an agreement with PSG to extend Randal Kolo Muani’s loan so he can participate in the Club World Cup this summer.
Randal Kolo Muani will continue wearing Juventus colours beyond the season’s end, as PSG and the Serie A club have agreed to extend his loan through the FIFA Club World Cup, according to RMC Sport.
The 26-year-old France international, who joined Juventus from PSG on loan in January, has made a strong impression in Turin, scoring eight goals and adding two assists in 18 appearances. His form has convinced the Italian club to keep him on board for their Club World Cup group stage, where they are scheduled to face Al Ain, Wydad AC, and Manchester City.
The extension comes despite Kolo Muani being under contract with PSG until 2028. However, with Luis Enrique’s side fresh off a Champions League title and expected to reshape their attacking options this summer, the French forward does not appear to be in their immediate plans.
On the international front, Kolo Muani recently came off the bench to score France’s fourth goal in a 4-1 Nations League semi-final win over Spain, reinforcing his reputation as a dangerous impact player.
While Juventus are reportedly open to making his stay permanent, they are expected to face competition. Other European clubs are monitoring the forward’s situation, and PSG are understood to be receptive to offers should a suitable bid arrive after the Club World Cup.
