Seen and read about PSG in the French press this Tuesday, January 14, 2025. Why Randal Kolo Muani chose Juventus?, can the return of Presnel Kimpembe to the field play a real role in the second half of the season? …
In today's edition, The Team discusses the future of Randal Cole Muani. Not in the plans of PSG, he was invited to find a base during this winter transfer window. While he had many clubs after him, he would have set his sights on the
Juventus Turin. The sports daily wonders why this choice? The Team indicates that the attacker (26 years old) must fly this Wednesday morning pure Turin
in order to undergo his medical examination and sign his six-month dry loan with the Old Lady. For daily sports, the choice of the French international responds to several logics.
Thiago Mottathe coach of the club Serie Ahad an important role in this matter. “ During his exchanges with “RKM”, which were fluid,
Thiago Mottaconvinced by the state of mind of
First Classinsisted on his ability to help him progress, in a context where he would have playing time, in different positions. A dialogue that counted. »
Randal Cole Muani wanted above all to have guarantees of playing time to express himself. To the
Juventushe will play in a system that fits his profile, analyzes The Team. « He also knows, unlike an English club like Tottenhamthat the period of adaptation to the Serie A will be less important. Especially with a staff that speaks French and with many French-speaking players (Kalulu, K. Thuram, T. Weah.…). » Pour
Pariswhich has noted for months the failure of the recruitment of “RKM”, the question of the choice of destination was central. With a major challenge: trying to promote an “asset” which cost 90 million euros eighteen months ago, says the sports daily. THE
PSG did not intend to place his attacker anywhere. In absolute terms, it was a loan with a purchase option that was prioritized. Good relations with the leaders of the
Juventus participated in evolving this basic principle. The Team
indicates that the Juventus will cover the entire salary of the Frenchman. “ Paris
knows that at Juventusin a context where he will be able to show himself on the European scene, First Class can maintain a rating. And therefore be resold more easily next summern”, concludes the sports daily.
The Team also focuses on Presnel Kimpembewho could make his return to competition this evening (9 p.m.,
BeIN Sports 1) against Espaly in the round of 32 of the French Cup. Present in collective training for three months, number 3 of the
PSG considered himself ready to play again in November and no longer masked his bitterness, internally, at not being summoned to the groups of Luis Enrique. The sports daily wonders what could bring Presnel Kimpembe au PSG during this second part of the season. Within the capital club,
crisp is a heard way. “ A player who, well beyond the precise knowledge of the unique functioning of the PSG at all levels, is capable of measuring the players' state of mind with great precision. And to guide them. One way or another. »
The Team explains that the staff knows that the French international's experience in this group is not trivial. But on the ground, its immediate contribution can raise questions. “ With his game so energetic and intense, his return to a very high level raises doubts. » At the left axial position,
Presnel Kimpembe will face fierce competition with Willian Pacho, Lucas Beraldo et
Lucas Hernandez. The latter, back after seven months of absence, does not hide in private his desire to quickly regain his starting place, advances The Team. See
Kimpembe shaking up the hierarchy in the short or medium term would be a surprise, concludes the sports daily.

For his part, The Parisian
also evokes the probable return to competition of Presnel Kimpembealmost two years after his last match with the PSG. « If it seems unthinkable that he would be cast as a starter, as he hasn't played in ages, the very positive comments Luis Enriquea fan of surprises, at least expects the return of “Presko” to come into play in the second half. » During this long period of absence, the Parisian titi always sought to remain calm and positive, maintaining the good humor that the locker room and employees of the PSG have known him for so many years. Within the group, he remained very listened to due to his status as vice-captain, which he retained after a vote by the players at the start of the season, says the Ile-de-France daily. “ After making the trip on November 26 in Champions League has
Munichwithout being on the match sheet, then having traveled to Doha for the January mini-tour, the soldier Kimpembe is preparing to take another important step in its recovery process. The time has come to give him a chance before, undoubtedly, he returns to the bench. » While, for the moment, there is a lack of rhythm to aspire to more continuity, the competition promises to be fierce with already three left-handed axial players in the squad (Pacho, Hernandez, Beraldo). He will have to be very good to pretend to reverse the established order. A challenge that he is ready to take on, concludes The Parisian.
