Juventus and PSG negotiating Kolo Muani’s future, Osimhen on the radar

Randal Kolo Muani is becoming an increasingly crucial player in Thiago Motta’s tactical setup. The Juventus coach has not explicitly stated it, but his on field decisions make it clear.

the French striker is not just a talented forward but also a key player shaping Juventus’ attacking play. His rapid development and recent performances make him indispensable, with prospects that extend well beyond this season.

Kolo Muani’s importance is not only technical but also tactical. Compared to Dusan Vlahovic, he is more effective at attacking space and stretching defenses. His speed and intelligent movement create crucial openings for teammates an aspect Motta highly values in his playing style.

In the upcoming clash against Inter Milan, Kolo Muani will have a vital role: breaking through Inter’s defensive structure and forcing Simone Inzaghi’s center-backs into difficult situations. This will be a major test, not just for him personally but also for Juventus’ ambitions this season.

Kolo Muani understands the symbolic importance of the match against Inter. A goal from him would be more than just a statistic—it could help Juventus catch up with Lazio and secure fourth place in the Champions League standings, a crucial target for the club’s future.

The French striker has already proven to be a player for big occasions, making an impact in decisive matches. Looking ahead, securing a Champions League spot could be key to determining his long-term future in Turin.

 According to Ilbianconero, Juventus and Kolo Muani seem set for a long-term relationship. Technical director Cristiano Giuntoli has confirmed the strong ties with Paris Saint Germain and the club’s intention to extend the loan deal.

The preferred option would be a loan renewal with a purchase option, allowing Juventus to retain the player without an immediate financial burden.

However, Juventus’ attacking plans go beyond just Kolo Muani. A major overhaul of the forward line is expected in the summer. Dusan Vlahovic, whose contract expires in 2026, is likely to leave as contract renewal talks have stalled. Arkadiusz Milik also seems destined for an exit.

Giuntoli’s long-term vision includes Victor Osimhen as a primary target for Juventus’ attacking department. The Nigerian striker is the dream signing for next season, though a deal will be highly complex.

Napoli is unlikely to offer any discounts, and competition from top European clubs will be fierce. Nevertheless, Juventus is already working on a concrete plan to pursue him.

In an ideal scenario, Juventus could start the 2025-26 season with a forward duo of Kolo Muani and Osimhen—a pairing that would bring speed, physical strength, and a constant goal threat.
