According to journalist Rudy Garretti, TeamTalk reports that Randal Kolo Muani’s transfer status is becoming increasingly clear, with Juventus still remaining firmly in the driver’s seat.
The French striker has made it clear he is ready to defend his interest from other clubs, including Newcastle United on the Premier League side, to ensure his desired move, as he has no secret of his preference for moving to Turin.
Koro Muani’s attitude remains unshakable despite serious interest from elsewhere. Newcastle has been monitoring his availability and could have made a financially compelling case, but the player’s focus is entirely on joining Juventus in Serie A.
His representatives are understood to have put other approaches on hold and signed his resolve to push this move.
Juventus leads Newcastle United at the Coro Muani Race
In terms of negotiations, Juventus is in direct discussion with Paris Saint-Germain over the deal. The Italian giant is seeking an option to buy at the end of the season, or a first loan agreement with potential obligations.
However, the gap between the two clubs is in PSG’s rating, which remains higher than Juve’s current offer structure.
Galletti reports that both clubs are gradually approaching midfield, but important details need to be resolved before an agreement is reached.
Magpies are configured to lose another transfer target
For Koro Muani, perseverance is part of strategy. He reportedly is willing to wait as much as necessary for a breakthrough in negotiations.
For Newcastle United, this is another big blow set to lose another transfer target this summer when things are standing.
They now think they are likely to be recognized in the race to sign Koro Muani, as they have already lost Benjamin Sesco to Manchester United.
