The summer mercato is coming to an end and several player movements are underway. Randal Kolo Muani will not join Juventus Turin, despite previous discussions. The Italian club finally decided to break the negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) concerning a loan with option of purchase for the French striker. According to information reported by RMC and Sache Tavolieri, the Juventus has now turned to another player, Loïs Openda, who also has several transfer opportunities. This situation underscores the instability and complexity of the negotiations during this crucial period.
At the same time, Marco Asensiio’s transfer to Fenerbahçe is being formalized. After obtaining permission to travel from the PSG following a €7.5 million plus bonus financial agreement, the Spanish striker went to Turkey. He should pass his medical examination and sign a four-year contract with the Turkish club, putting a definitive end to his stay at the PSG. This news confirms an expected player movement, illustrating the active dynamics of mercato in the last few hours before the official closing.
PSG also strengthened its position regarding Randal Kolo Muani after receiving an offer deemed unsatisfactory by Juventus. Initially, the two clubs agreed on an operation around 60 million euros, but Juventus wanted a loan with option of purchase, condition that the PSG refused. After several proposals from the Juventus, the PSG finally decided to end the negotiations, assuring that Kolo Muani would not sign at the Juventus. However, until the official closure of the mercato, a reversal of the situation remains possible.
