From Paris for Randal they ask for around 60-70 million, figures that Comolli does not arrive. Who in his place? OPENDA can be the right name, but there are also other options

Long summer of Randal Kolo Muani has not yet finished. From the fairy tale with a happy ending to the infinite history and with the danger of nasty surprises sometimes the step is all too short in the market: it happens that they suddenly jump negotiations started for some time to which only the details were missing, because they are the ones who sometimes make the difference, especially if it is money. So Juventus finds himself less than ten days from the gong of the market still hanging on a thread and with the tangible risk of no longer being able to give Igor Tudor the player who most wants, the only one expressly indicated by the technician to complete the offensive department. The bianconeri were so sure of going to damages, strong of the good relationship with the PSG and the will of the attacker (who has long promised himself to the lady) that they had not even thought of a plan B. The French club, however, not only continues to make Melina but asks more about the figure allocated by the Juventus management and these conditions everything has become much more complicated. In Madama headquarters, nobody has lost hope of being able to find the agreement, but a little more pessimism than in the past inevitably there is. That’s why other profiles are also evaluated, from Opennda to Nkunku to Jackson.

Ribbed game

“Kolo Muani wants to go back to playing with us, we are working on it,” Damien Comolli said at the end of July, dispensement positivity. In reality in just over 20 days there have been many contacts, but this was not enough to convince the PSG, which in any case considers Kolo Muani to be released but wants to sell him only in his condition. Juventus for his part is convinced that he has made every possible effort to satisfy the Parisians: the proposal provides for an onerous loan (of 10 million) with a redemption in 2026 set at 35-40 million plus bonuses. A 50 million operation, considered a congruous figure for the bianconeri, who to transform the rent into a definitive purchase had John Elkann’s ok to take the attacker regardless of the fate of Dusan Vlahovic (the Serbian has an expiring contract in a year, is on the market but points his feet to stay). The PSG, however, not only does not be satisfied but now relaunches by asking more, to be precise between 60 and 70 million. It is difficult on these foundations: the bianconeri are realizing that if they do not change the cards on the table (read the millions) they will have to give up.

Plan B

Kolo Muani has always been considered a certainty by Igor Tudor and if the club should no longer arrive, it should review all the plans. The idea is still taking another striker, not a first classic tip (having already Vlahovic, in addition to the new purchase Jonathan David) but someone who can be in the middle and also on the band. At Kolo Muani, in fact. It will serve a last minute blow that convinces both from a technical and the economic point of view. The ideal would be to be able to snatch a loan with redemption law/obligation. Ademola Lookman is a profile that has been liked for some time but it costs and is difficult to reach (Inter knows about it), Rasmus Hojlund likes like it but it is in the sights of Napoli. The idea Edon Zhegrova remains valid, that Juventus was already following in the event of the sale of Nico Gonzalez, although the president of Lilla, Letang reiterated that he would like to hold him back. The right name could be Lois Opennda, as long as the Leipzig is willing to sell it after having already lost Benjamin Sesko. Nicolas Jackson del Chelsea, already probed before the purchase of David, is coming out, which however is very close to the Aston Villa. In these hours Christopher Nkunku, always from Chelsea.
