Randal Kolo Muani has confirmed his presence with Juventus for the duration of the forthcoming FIFA Club World Cup tournament in the United States. The player also expressed his strong desire to ‘continue’ his time with the Bianconeri beyond the terms of his current loan agreement.
Kolo Muani initially joined Juventus on a straightforward loan deal from Paris Saint-Germain during the January transfer window.
The initial agreement between Juventus and PSG did not include a buy option. This meant that, under the original terms, Kolo Muani was expected to return to the Parc des Princes once his loan concluded at the end of June.
However, Juventus, alongside Inter Milan, is one of Italy`s representatives participating in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, which is scheduled to take place from mid-June to mid-July.
This schedule overlapping with the loan expiry date necessitated discussions and a temporary extension of Kolo Muani’s loan deal between the two clubs, which was confirmed earlier this weekend.

Speaking after France’s 2-0 victory over Germany in the Nations League 3rd place play-off on Sunday, Kolo Muani explicitly stated that he will feature for Juventus in the Club World Cup and reiterated his hope to remain with the club after his current loan period ends.
“I`m very happy to have gotten more playing time, both for the national team and my club,” Kolo Muani told l’Equipe.
He added, “I`m very happy at Juventus; I hope to continue here. They welcomed me, and I`m enjoying my time. I am heading to the Club World Cup with them.”
