Juventus plans talks with PSG for Randal Kolo Muani transfer

Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain are locked in a transfer tug-of-war over Randal Kolo Muani, the French forward who has made it abundantly clear he wants to return to Turin. The personal terms between Juventus and the player have been agreed for weeks. The holdup, as is tradition in European football’s transfer theater, is the price tag.

PSG wants a guaranteed fee of €40 million. Juventus has countered somewhere in the €30-35 million range.

The numbers behind the negotiation

During his loan spell in 2025, the 26-year-old scored 8 goals in 19 appearances for the Old Lady.

Kolo Muani is currently finishing a loan stint at Tottenham Hotspur, set to expire in June 2026. Once that wraps up, he returns to PSG, where he still has two years left on his contract. That contractual leverage is precisely why PSG can demand €40 million without blinking.

Multiple Italian sources have confirmed the striker’s desire to return to Juventus. Reports suggest he could replace Dusan Vlahovic in the squad’s attacking hierarchy.

New leadership, same target

The negotiations have taken on fresh energy thanks to Giovanni Carnevali, Juventus’ new CEO. Carnevali has reinitiated talks over the transfer, signaling that Kolo Muani is not just a sporting department wish-list item but a club-level priority.

What this means for both clubs

For Juventus, landing Kolo Muani at around €30-35 million would represent strong value for a proven Serie A striker in his prime years. The fact that personal terms are already wrapped up removes one of the biggest variables in any transfer.

For PSG, selling Kolo Muani for €40 million would represent a reasonable return on an investment that hasn’t quite delivered in Paris. Accepting €30-35 million would still be defensible, especially if the alternative is keeping a player who clearly wants out and whose contract leverage erodes with every passing transfer window.
