Juventus Pursue Kolo Muani for 2026-27 Season

Randal Kolo Muani is back on Juventus’ radar – and this time, the path to Turin looks far clearer.

The French forward, unwanted at Paris Saint-Germain and coming off a bruising season in England, has shown what has been described as “total openness” to rejoining the Bianconeri for the 2026-27 campaign, according to the latest indications from Fabrizio Romano. Juventus have re-established contact with the player’s camp and believe a deal is there to be done.

Memories of a prolific spell in Turin

Juventus know exactly what they would be getting. Kolo Muani’s half-season loan in 2024-25 was short but sharp: eight goals in 16 Serie A appearances, a strike every other game, and a sense that he had quickly found his rhythm in Italy.

He brought pace, direct running and a penalty-box presence that immediately clicked with the Allianz Stadium crowd. That impact convinced Juventus to try to keep him beyond that initial spell. They pushed to extend his stay last summer, only to run into a wall in Paris.

PSG refused to bend to the terms Juventus were proposing. Instead, the French club sent Kolo Muani to Tottenham Hotspur on loan, a move that promised a platform in the Premier League but turned into something very different.

A brutal year in London

The numbers from North London tell their own story. One goal in 30 Premier League appearances. Tottenham surviving by just two points, clinging on above the relegation zone. For a forward who had looked so sharp in Serie A, the contrast was stark.

Kolo Muani never truly settled into the Spurs attack. He struggled for rhythm, struggled for confidence, and the season drifted away from him as Tottenham lurched through a campaign that threatened to implode.

Yet Juventus never fully stepped away. Romano reports that the Italian club made more than one attempt to bring him back during the 2025-26 season. Each time, they hit the same obstacle: then Spurs head coach Thomas Frank refused to sanction the move, even though Kolo Muani was not a guaranteed starter in his XI.

The message was clear – Tottenham wanted to keep their options, even if they were not fully exploiting them.

PSG ready to deal, Juventus ready to pounce

Now the landscape has shifted again. PSG are under no financial pressure and have no urgent need to cash in, but they also have no strong desire to reintegrate Kolo Muani into their plans. The striker sits on the periphery in Paris, and that opens a door Juventus are determined to walk through.

Talks with the player’s entourage are ongoing. The Bianconeri see an opportunity to revive a partnership that worked, to bet on a forward whose best recent football came in their colours, in their system, in their stadium.

For Kolo Muani, the equation is just as simple. After a year that damaged his numbers and his reputation, he needs a stage where he already knows he can deliver. Turin offered that once. Juventus are betting it can again.
