Juventus are reportedly moving to secure a backup option in the transfer market as negotiations for Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani continue to stall. Il Corriere dello Sport, cited by multiple outlets, says Juventus have already “booked” Parma forward Mateo Pellegrino, indicating the club is considering him as an alternative if the Kolo Muani deal does not progress.
The reports connect the delay to PSG’s asking price for Kolo Muani. PSG are said to be demanding €55 million, a figure that is preventing talks from advancing. With negotiations not reaching agreement, Juventus are described as taking parallel steps to strengthen their squad.
Both sources attribute the key details to Il Corriere dello Sport and present the situation as an ongoing negotiation process rather than a confirmed agreement. As of the reporting, no final terms for either player are stated, and the status of any proposed move depends on whether Juventus and PSG can reconcile the valuation gap.
