'You Messed Us Around for Weeks' - PSG Boss Reveals Rage at Juventus Over New Tottenham Forward
Randal Kolo Muani, the striker on loan from Paris Saint-Germain to Tottenham this summer, finds himself at the center of a dispute between the French club's president and Juventus.
The root cause is the breakdown of talks for a new loan deal for the French forward to the "Bianconeri" – a loan with a €60 million option to buy – due to Juventus general manager Damien Comolli's last-minute attempt to alter the terms, reducing the value to €40 million.
The outcome: Kolo Muani was loaned to Tottenham. The immediate problem was resolved, but not without significant implications.
