PSG in Juventus Talks as Kolo Muani Aims for Turin Return

Randal Kolo Muani wants to join Juventus after his season-long loan at Tottenham Hotspur ended without a permanent deal, according to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano. The 27-year-old Paris Saint-Germain striker managed five goals and four assists in 41 appearances across all competitions for Spurs – a return that persuaded nobody at the club to push for anything more binding.

Kolo Muani joined Tottenham on a straight loan in September 2025 with no obligation or option to buy attached, which in hindsight reads less like prudent business and more like a premonition. A difficult season for the squad broadly did him no favours, but five goals in 41 outings is a hard number to argue with regardless of context. He also missed out on a France World Cup squad place, which underlines how far his stock had dipped.

Juventus Move Takes Shape

Romano reports that PSG are in contact with Juventus and that personal terms between Kolo Muani and the Italian club have already been agreed. The structure being discussed reportedly involves a loan fee in the region of €10 million plus a compulsory purchase clause worth around €35 million, with performance-related triggers determining the final conditions – though no deal has been confirmed.

This would be a return, not a new adventure. Kolo Muani spent the second half of the 2024-25 season at Juventus, scoring 10 goals in around 20 appearances and making enough of an impression that the club tried to cut short his subsequent Spurs loan as early as January 2026. Both Tottenham and PSG blocked that move at the time. Turin, it seems, was paying attention even when the rest of us were watching him miscontrol the ball in the rain at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. His performances drew pointed criticism during the loan spell, making this exit a mutual shrug rather than a difficult goodbye.

Spurs Move On

Kolo Muani’s departure clears the way for Roberto De Zerbi to pursue his preferred attacking targets. According to Romano’s report, Spurs are monitoring Manchester City’s Omar Marmoush and Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo, with the manager said to want at least one of them through the door this summer. Whether either moves is a separate and considerably more expensive problem to solve.

Defensively, Tottenham have already moved – Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson, Jan Paul van Hecke, and Martin Dubravka have all been brought in. Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United and Mateus Fernandes from West Ham United are understood to be midfield targets. The striking position, as ever, is where the outstanding work sits. Kolo Muani is not the only forward moving on from Spurs this summer, which only sharpens the need to get the next one right.
