According to the Turin Sports News, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain have essentially reached an agreement on the transfer of Muniyedi, but it will only be finalized with the departure of Folau.
However, there is still no definitive conclusion. The negotiation process for Muniyedi’s transfer is still ongoing, but the framework has been largely established. A phone call between Juventus and Paris yesterday was very positive, with both sides having almost no doubts, making it highly likely that an agreement will be reached. Both sides have nearly reached a consensus, with Paris agreeing to Juventus’ proposal, which makes this transfer smoother.
Muniyedi is keeping in touch with his teammates, paying attention to training and the upcoming season. Whether it’s the head coach Tudor or the higher-ups, they are all looking forward to Muniyedi’s joining. Tudor sees him as a key figure in the team’s rebuild, having already seen Muniyedi and Koncezsan as future core players during the renewal period.
Tudor does not want to start from scratch; in fact, he hopes to leverage the results of the past few months rather than being overwhelmed by the pressure of “fourth place” and “performance-first”. Of course, performance pressure still exists, but for technical guidance, Tudor prefers relying on weekly training and gradual growth. With Muniyedi’s joining, the team’s offensive end will become more competitive, providing better support or replacement for David, thus bringing many positive changes. Clearly, the team’s offensive level will be stronger than before.
The current uncertainty stems from Folau, who has not yet left. As long as he stays, it will be difficult for Juventus to sign a new player at his position, so the phone call yesterday did not fully unlock the transfer of Muniyedi, and it is unlikely to happen today.
Juventus is preparing and heading to Hull City for a training camp, where Tudor had hoped to see Muniyedi. However, there has been no new progress so far, but perhaps there will be a breakthrough soon. Both sides have nearly reached an agreement, with Paris’ open attitude towards contract terms providing strong support for the transaction’s advancement, but Juventus remains very cautious, especially the cautiousness of General Manager Comolli, which has made the deal not yet finalized.
Comolli has never given up on signing Muniyedi, but he hopes to do so synchronously with Folau’s transfer. This is also a common idea among many high-level officials, and it is the key factor deciding whether to sign Muniyedi. As long as time allows, Juventus’ strategy is to wait for the right moment to completely finalize this transaction. Currently, there are no significant changes in the deal, but it may become more complex, especially as Premier League teams continue to watch Muniyedi, with Tottenham being the main pursuer.
Moreover, Muniyedi will not wait forever if he wants to return. Therefore, all relevant parties are clear that Juventus has done a lot in this transaction, and they know that if Folau eventually leaves or there are clear signs of a transfer, all efforts will be worthwhile.
Tudor once promised Muniyedi: “We will do everything we can to sign you, and you must do everything you can to come back here.” Regardless of the final outcome, Tudor’s promise has been fulfilled. Now, the critical moment is approaching.
