Live Sports News reports on July 18th that Paris is unwilling to sell Mouani at a low price, thus the negotiations with Juventus have currently come to a standstill.
If there are no major changes in the next five days, on July 23rd, Mouani will report to the Pauillac Sports Center along with the other Paris Saint-Germain players who did not participate in the Club World Cup.
Although the key players under the command of Luis Enrique received additional rest time due to their outstanding performances in the Club World Cup, all other Paris players must abide by the club's instructions: to be fully prepared and energetic for the preseason training before the summer training camp, even those players not included in the plan, such as Mouani who returned from Juventus on a loan or Renato-Sanchez who returned from Benfica as a loan, must do the same.
Given the long-standing negotiation deadlock between Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain, this symbolic move might also be seen as a display of strength: although neither side is willing to take decisive action against Mouani at present.

Due to the absence of key players from Paris Saint-Germain, the training sessions on July 23rd and the initial days of training will not reveal much information about the players' positions within the club. It will not be possible to determine until early August whether the members of the team will work together or if some redundant players will be trained separately.
In any case, for Juventus, confirming the transfer of Muani remains a complex task. He is a player that head coach Todor clearly requested, and his performance impressed them from the very beginning of their collaboration in Turin.
General Manager Comoli tried to meet the coach's wishes, but the negotiation table was never closed and no decisive progress was made. The problem is that Paris Saint-Germain spent as much as 70 million euros plus bonuses to sign Mouani from Frankfurt in 2023. This was his best season in his career, scoring 23 goals and making 17 assists. Therefore, Paris was unwilling to sell Mouani at a low price to avoid financial losses. Under these circumstances, Luis Enrique did not plan to use the 26-year-old Mouani, which was a double-edged sword for Juventus.
On the one hand, there is no need to convince anyone (the player desires to return permanently to Turin and the club also hopes to reduce his salary burden), but on the other hand, Comoli has been repeatedly informed by Paris that they hope to profit from it. Therefore, the deadlock still exists: Juventus insists on a loan with an option to buy, while Paris demands a direct sale or at least a compulsory buyout clause. This transaction may involve 40 to 45 million euros.
However, Juventus's transfer market is highly dependent on the departures of players: Flahovik is still a troublesome surplus player, and Douglas-Louis is also in talks with Premier League teams (Everton and West Ham United). The latest news comes from England, where Newcastle has made an inquiry about Savona.
