In recent days, rumours across the European press suggested that Juventus’ dealings with Paris Saint-Germain had turned sour during the transfer saga surrounding Randal Kolo Muani. Some press outlets a even hinted at personal tension between Juve’s toop hierachy and PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, sparking speculation of behind-the-scenes tension between two of Europe’s footballing giants.
The rumors quickly gained traction, with fans debating whether Juve’s transfer approach had caused unrest. But SoftFootball understands the Italian club was determined to set the record straight, insisting their relationship with PSG remains professional and unaffected by the Kolo Muani negotiations.
According to top journalist Fabrizio Romano via his official X handle, the Juventus director Comolli addressed the issue head-on, Romano posted:
Juventus general director Comolli: Reports on issues with Nasser Al Khelaifi due to Randal Kolo Muani deal are completely fake. We didn’t have any problems with PSG chairman, these are all lies.
By making such a direct statement, Juventus have put to bed speculation of internal conflict with PSG, emphasizing mutual respect between the two clubs. SoftFootball understands that Juve want the focus to remain firmly on the pitch and their rebuilding project, rather than distractions from transfer rumors.
The Italian Giants are happy with the works they have done over the transfer window and will be hoping the recently appointed head coach Igor Tudor, will utilize the players that have been brought in by the sporting director, in a bid to recapture the glory the Old Ladies were once known for both locally and in europe.
For PSG, this clarification also comes as a relief, as the French champions continue to manage big personalities in their squad while keeping strong working relationships with Europe’s elite. With Kolo Muani now on loan to Tottenham from Paris and Juventus moving forward with their squad plans, both clubs will be eager to leave these rumors behind.
