Juventus could face a major setback in their transfer strategy as Paris Saint-Germain is reportedly rethinking the future of their on-loan forward currently impressing in Turin.
The player, who joined Juventus on a dry loan in January after falling out of favor at his parent club, has recently rediscovered his form.
His performances helped the Bianconeri secure a Top Four finish in Serie A and earned him MVP honors in their 5-0 victory over Al Ain in the FIFA Club World Cup.
Juventus and PSG agreed to extend the forward’s stay until the end of the Club World Cup. While both sides have held initial discussions regarding a potential future move, no final decision has been made yet. Talks are expected to resume later this summer.
The French club is now leaning toward a permanent transfer, moving away from the initially discussed loan with an obligation to buy. This change would allow them to secure immediate funds from the player’s sale.
For Juventus, this shift is problematic. The club had hoped to delay a large financial commitment until the 2026/27 season, allocating this summer’s budget toward other reinforcements. Now, the deal could become more financially demanding than expected.
Despite the complication, Juventus remains keen on keeping the player beyond the summer. He has fit well into the squad and shown his potential, especially in recent games.
Still, unless the two clubs can align on financial terms, Juventus may be forced to consider alternatives in the market if they are unable to meet PSG’s demands.
