Motta Confirms Kolo Muani's Loan Transfer From PSG To Juventus Ahead Of AC Milan Match

Thiago Motta is pleased with Randal Kolo Muani's anticipated loan transfer from PSG to Juventus. He hopes the forward will be ready for the match against AC Milan.

Thiago Motta expressed his satisfaction with Juventus' acquisition of Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain. He hopes the player will be ready to face AC Milan. Although official contract details are yet to be disclosed, Kolo Muani is expected to join on loan until the season's end. The forward has featured in 14 matches for PSG this season, starting only twice but scoring two goals as a substitute.

Juventus' attack will be strengthened by the return of Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic, who leads their Serie A scoring chart with seven goals. "Vlahovic will join the group tomorrow," Motta confirmed. "He has trained well recently." Vlahovic missed the last two games to recover but is set to play against AC Milan.

Kolo Muani Joins Juventus on Loan from PSG

The Turin club remains unbeaten in Serie A this season but has struggled lately, securing just one win in their last eight league matches. They have drawn 13 games, including the last three, often losing points from winning positions. Currently fifth in the standings, they are three points ahead of Milan.

Despite some challenges, Juventus aims to stay within reach of the Champions League zone. "We definitely want to stay [within the reach of] the Champions League zone," Motta stated. "Tomorrow we have an important opportunity to play at home against Milan... Obviously, tomorrow the championship will not end [but we need to be] at the maximum: focused, motivated, to put in a great performance to get the victory."

Motta is eagerly awaiting Kolo Muani's arrival and expects him to contribute significantly both on and off the pitch. "I expect everything from Randal both on and off the pitch," he said. Motta has instructed Kolo Muani and all players to train diligently and prepare thoroughly for upcoming matches.

The team will still miss defenders Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal, along with strikers Arkadiusz Milik and Francisco Conceicao. However, apart from these absences, Juventus boasts a fully fit squad ready for their next challenge.
