I guess we’ll eventually find out sooner rather than later if it’s true.
Then as with everyone who is linked to us there’s been some mixed feeling and opinions regarding him, i remember some of the debates here on this subject a couple of months ago which resulted in the guy getting mocked for having been a TV presenter or something before, so who knows...

I tend to give reasonable credibility to this rumor simply because his contract does expire on September 30th and it matches the current pattern of hiring directors that are not italian.

Chat GPT with their side of the story:
The Collapse of the Kolo Muani Deal
Juventus had been searching for a striker, and Damien Comolli set his sights on an audacious target: Randal Kolo Muani, already established as a PSG player. Few believed the transfer could happen, but Comolli thrived in the impossible.
He approached Paris Saint-Germain discreetly, knowing that even the smallest whisper would trigger headlines across Europe. Nass Al-Khelaifi, confident in his position, agreed to at least hear Juventus out. After all, PSG had no shortage of suitors for their stars — but he underestimated Comolli’s tactics.
At first, the offer seemed straightforward: a respectable transfer fee, spread over a few manageable installments. Al-Khelaifi nodded, intrigued but not convinced. Then, just as talks began to find rhythm, Comolli shifted the ground. Juventus wanted to lower the fixed fee and load the deal with performance bonuses. PSG resisted, but discussions continued.
A week later, Comolli returned with yet another adjustment: now Juventus wanted PSG to cover part of Kolo Muani’s wages for the first year. Al-Khelaifi, already irritated, demanded clarity. Instead, the Juventus director smiled, hinted at financial “flexibility,” and walked away without a final answer.
Each change dragged the negotiation deeper into chaos. PSG’s sporting staff grew restless, sensing they were being toyed with. For Al-Khelaifi, who prided himself on closing decisive deals quickly, the endless back-and-forth felt like an insult.
Finally, after several weeks of shifting terms, delays, and Juventus leaks to the Italian press about being “close” to signing Kolo Muani, Al-Khelaifi snapped. In a private call with Comolli, his tone was cold and cutting:
The line went silent. The deal collapsed.
For PSG, it was a victory of defiance — they would not be mocked in the market. For Juventus, the collapse was a calculated loss: Comolli hadn’t signed Kolo Muani, but he had disrupted PSG’s plans, frustrated their hierarchy, and sent a clear message across Europe that Juventus would not play by anyone else’s rules.
In Turin, some whispered that Comolli had never intended to sign Kolo Muani at all. The real prize was psychological: to rattle Nass Al-Khelaifi, and to show that in the ruthless theatre of football business, even Paris could be made to sweat.
