Randal Kolo Muani has officially joined Juventus FC on loan from Paris SG, following the termination of Juan Bernat’s contract. Meanwhile, Olympique de Marseille has reached a preliminary agreement to transfer Elye Wahi to Eintracht Frankfurt for €26 million. Marseille is also seeking a new striker, with Santiago Giménez reportedly in demand. Additionally, Omar Marmoush has signed with Manchester City for €75 million, and Stade Rennais is close to acquiring Kyogo Furuhashi from Celtic FC, while Brestois is set to sign 19-year-old Justin Bourgault.
Randal Kolo Muani’s New Chapter at Juventus
The anticipated transfer has been finalized. After a brief administrative hiccup, Paris SG striker Randal Kolo Muani has officially joined Juventus FC on loan, as announced by the Bianconeri on Thursday afternoon. Initially, the French international’s move to the Old Lady was delayed due to Paris SG reaching their loan player limit. However, they have now terminated Juan Bernat’s contract, paving the way for Kolo Muani to make his switch this winter. In Italy, “RKM” will have a fresh opportunity to revitalize his career, having had limited playing time under Luis Enrique this season (10 Ligue 1 matches, 1 goal).

Elye Wahi Set for Frankfurt; Marseille Seeks New Striker
An early but anticipated exit is on the horizon. RMC Sport reported on Thursday that Olympique de Marseille and Eintracht Frankfurt have come to a preliminary agreement regarding the transfer of Elye Wahi. The talented French forward, who joined the Phocaeans last summer from RC Lens, is expected to move to the German club for €26 million, plus an additional €3 million in bonuses. Marseille will retain a 15% stake in any future resale. This transaction is seen as advantageous for the Olympians, especially since Wahi has yet to fully showcase his potential, netting only 3 goals in Ligue 1 this season.
Now, Marseille’s management is on the hunt for a new striker, with Santiago Giménez seemingly off the table. Reports from Foot Mercato indicate that the Phocaeans are trailing behind AC Milan in the race for the Mexican forward. The Rossoneri are reportedly preparing to make an offer between €35 million and €40 million to secure his services. At just 23 years old, Giménez has already made an impact, scoring 7 goals and providing 1 assist in 11 Eredivisie matches this season.
