Juventus agree a deal to sign Randal Kolo Muani but face major obstacle

Juventus have reportedly reached an agreement in principle with Paris Saint-Germain for the return of Randal Kolo Muani, who spent the second half of last season on loan in Turin.

The proposed deal is a €10 million loan with an option to buy in 2026 for €30–35 million, on terms considered easily achievable.

However, the move hinges on Juventus securing at least one significant outgoing transfer to cover the initial loan fee. Among the players likely to be offloaded are Fabio Miretti, Nicolo Savona, Lloyd Kelly, and Douglas Luiz.

Talks with Napoli for Miretti are ongoing, while Premier League interest in Savona could also generate the necessary funds.

Despite strong interest from Chelsea, Newcastle United, and Manchester United, Kolo Muani’s priority remains a permanent return to Juventus.

The 25-year-old forward has informed his representatives to focus exclusively on the Bianconeri, with direct talks expected to continue this week.

Kolo Muani made an immediate impact during his short stint in Turin last season, producing 10 goal contributions in 19 appearances across all competitions.

His pace, intelligent movement, and clinical finishing gave Juventus a much-needed attacking spark, convincing the club to pursue a longer-term arrangement.

PSG are open to selling the striker but prefer a guaranteed €45 million fee, whereas Juve’s structure would delay the bulk of the payment.

With several Premier League clubs circling, Juventus face a race against time to finalise the deal before the transfer window closes.

Securing the funds through player sales remains the immediate priority, but the club is confident of wrapping up negotiations once departures are confirmed.

If successful, the move would see Kolo Muani rejoin a side where he thrived and where he hopes to establish himself as a key figure in the club’s new project.

For Juventus, it would mark a major attacking reinforcement as they look to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
