Juventus have completed the permanent signing of striker Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain for an initial fee of €38 million, with the deal including potential bonuses worth up to €12 million. The French international returns to Turin following a productive loan spell that proved decisive in the club’s pursuit of Champions League qualification.
The 27-year-old found the net 10 times in 22 appearances during his temporary stay, contributions that helped the Bianconeri clinch fourth place in Serie A. His impact convinced the Italian side to finalise terms for a full-time transfer, with negotiations between the clubs concluding this week.
From loan success to permanent deal
Kolo Muani initially joined Juventus in 2025 seeking regular first-team opportunities after struggling for consistent game time in France. His goalscoring form provided crucial points during the business end of the campaign, ensuring the Turin club finished inside the top four despite stiff competition from rivals.
The permanent arrangement offers the striker a fresh start after an underwhelming spell in Paris, where he arrived amid high expectations but failed to secure a leading role in the attacking lineup.
Financial hit for PSG
Paris Saint-Germain originally paid Eintracht Frankfurt €95 million to secure Kolo Muani’s services in the summer of 2023. During his 54 appearances for the French champions, he managed 11 goals and seven assists – statistics that reflected his struggles to adapt to the club’s tactical approach.
The confirmed transfer represents a significant financial loss for the Ligue 1 side, with the €38 million base fee recouping less than half of their initial outlay. However, the move allows both parties to move forward, with Kolo Muani securing the stability of a long-term contract in Italy while PSG streamline their attacking options ahead of the new season.
The France international now links up with his new teammates on a permanent basis as Juventus prepare for domestic and European campaigns, with the forward expected to carry his loan form into the upcoming fixtures.
