1 difference between Nunez and Hojlund as Juventus face Kolo Muani obstacles

Interest from Premier League clubs in Randal Kolo Muani has pushed Juventus to consider alternative targets, including Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez and Manchester United’s Rasmus Hojlund, with the latter emerging as a more feasible signing.

Juventus are considering their options as negotiations with PSG for Kolo Muani are stalling.

Why Juventus talks for Kolo Muani are stalling

The Ligue 1 giants are seeking a permanent transfer for the France international, who spent the second half of the 2024-25 season on loan in Turin. Furthermore, interest from Newcastle, Manchester United and Chelsea is complicating matters for the Old Lady.

Juventus have already signed Jonathan David on a free transfer, but are planning to sell Dusan Vlahovic this summer, so coach Igor Tudor needs another centre-forward for the 2025-26 season.

Several Italian sources report that the Old Lady is now considering Nunez and Hojlund.

One difference between Nunez and Hojlund for Juventus

Sport Mediaset highlights that Liverpool want to sell Nunez, a former Napoli target, on a permanent €60m transfer. According to Football Italia sources, the Reds’ asking price is slightly lower at €50m, but the defending Premier League champions are currently unwilling to discuss a loan deal with an option or obligation to buy.

Simone Inzaghi’s Al-Hilal could match Liverpool’s demands, so Hojlund has emerged as a more feasible target for Juventus, given that, according to Sportmediaset, Manchester United are open to discussing an initial loan deal with an option to buy in a €50m transfer package.

As per Tuttosport, Kolo Muani’s teammate Gonçalo Ramos is also among the Bianconeri’s targets for the summer.
