Juventus are in negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain over a return for Randal Kolo Muani, though the clubs remain apart on valuation. PSG continue to demand €35 million for the France international, whom they recently welcomed back from an unproductive loan at Tottenham Hotspur, while Juventus hope to secure a discount or arrange a temporary move with a mandatory purchase clause.
The 27-year-old striker returned to Paris this summer after a season in North London that yielded conflicting statistical returns. Some reports indicate he scored just once in 30 Premier League appearances, while others credit him with five goals in 41 games across all competitions. Either tally falls well short of the standards expected from a player signed for €95 million from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023.
Previous Success in Turin
Kolo Muani demonstrated his quality in Serie A during a six-month loan at Juventus between January and July 2025, finding the net 10 times in 22 appearances. That productive spell convinced the Turin hierarchy to pursue him again, though they were unable to convert the temporary arrangement—costing €3.6 million plus wages—into a permanent transfer at the time.
Budgetary Pressures
Juventus’s renewed interest is complicated by their failure to qualify for the Champions League, which has constrained their spending capacity. The forward has also lost his place in the international setup, having been omitted from Didier Deschamps’ recent FIFA World Cup squad.
PSG face dwindling leverage as they attempt to recoup value from their investment. Kolo Muani’s contract runs until June 2028, meaning the window to command a substantial fee is narrowing. Talks between the clubs began several days ago, with Italian sources indicating cautious optimism that an agreement can be reached.
However, the deal is not considered imminent. Juventus must convince PSG to accept either a reduced fee or deferred payment terms if they are to secure the striker’s services for a second spell in Turin.
