All that’s missing is the press release but now the bureaucratic hurdle is finally overcome: the Spaniard’s permanent transfer to Villarreal frees up a place for players on loan
Thiago Motta calls him by name, as he does with all his players, and already feels he is part of his team (even if so far he has only been able to train at Continassa), and Giuntoli in the cold of Bruges assured that it would be a matter of hours. Now the traffic light is really green. Kolo Muani’s loan to Juventus is about to become official thanks to the permanent transfer of Juan Bernat to Villarreal.

The Spaniard left PSG last summer on loan to return to Spain ten years after his last experience at Valencia. But now the formula of this operation has changed and unblocks the impasse in which the Parisians and Juventus were left due to the maximum limit already reached – by Paris itself – of players on loan. Six in total, Kolo Muani would have been the seventh: impossible due to FIFA regulations. There were therefore two ways: to return to the base or to transform one of those six players on loan from temporary to permanent. Second option: Bernat’s card becomes all of Villarreal. An epilogue that makes everyone happy, especially Juve.
