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.

What Did Nasser Al-Khelaifi Say?

According to Sports Zone, a phone conversation between Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and the "Old Lady's" director during the most tense moment of negotiations revealed the Qatari businessman's fury: "You've been messing us around for weeks. Ultimately, you won't win this battle against me. I will remember the methods you used, believe me."

This was followed by the termination of negotiations, with a note to the player's agent to find another transfer option.

Tottenham emerged as the solution, while for Juventus, the target became Lois Openda, on loan from Leipzig with a mandatory purchase clause of €40 million.
