Kolo Muani wants Juventus as PSG set €35m asking price

Kolo Muani: price tag set, Juve preferred

PSG have put a €35m price tag on Randal Kolo Muani and are in "no hurry" to sell, but the striker wants Juventus this summer (1). After his loan at Tottenham, Kolo Muani has made Juve his preferred destination (6). He has no future in Paris, yet the club are not rushing, they want the right deal. Tottenham also remain interested, but the player's choice looks clear (1) (6).

Kimmich: 'I was 95% sure I'd leave'

Joshua Kimmich has confirmed just how close he came to joining PSG. "Paris sent a proposal. Financially it was incredible. Very, very incredible, I would say. But I didn't want to make this the reason to decide. I'm not single, I couldn't make such a decision alone," Kimmich said (2) (4) (5).

The German captain revealed Bayern Munich's then-sporting director Max Eberl told him: "If you want to leave, then you're for sale." Kimmich said he was "95 percent sure" he wouldn't extend his Bayern contract at that point, with Luis Campos and Luis Enrique driving the PSG pursuit (2) (5).

Koeman: no grudge over Timber in the final

Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman says he holds no grudge against Arsenal for playing Jurriën Timber in the Champions League final against PSG (3). Timber featured in the final on May 30 despite injury concerns. "I don't blame them," Koeman said, as quoted by RTL (3). For PSG fans, it's a small footnote on a night that still stings.

Young defender Mbemba on the radar

PSG are tracking 18-year-old defender Mbemba, with sporting director Andrea Berta reportedly keen (7). Arsenal are also monitoring the youngster. One to watch, but no formal approach yet (7).

Fan reactions

Kimmich's near-move has PSG fans talking, there's genuine regret in the air. On r/psg, attention is also drifting toward the transfer window, with one post urging the club to pursue Lamine Yamal if Barcelona slip up even slightly, while another fan has shared a detailed scouting breakdown of Premier League forward Eli Junior Kroupi. Meanwhile, a couple of supporters are already looking ahead to whether this squad can deliver a third straight league title. Read the Kimmich thread
