Juventus set sights on Kolo Muani surprise deal | OneFootball

Juventus are intensifying efforts to secure Randal Kolo Muani for another campaign, working to convince Paris Saint-Germain to extend the French striker’s loan, according to reports from Bianconera News and Tutto Juve.

Kolo Muani, who arrived in Turin on loan from PSG in January, has expressed his desire to remain at Juventus. The club shares that wish and is now developing a plan to satisfy both the striker and his parent club. As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport and cited by Bianconera News, Juventus are preparing a proposal to PSG for a renewed loan arrangement running until 2026, which would include a purchase option at the end of next season.

Talks between the two clubs are ongoing. Juventus' management consider Kolo Muani a fitting part of their attacking plans moving forward, especially with striker Dusan Vlahovic’s future uncertain. Internal discussions have focused on the need to add scoring depth and continuity, with Kolo Muani’s technical qualities and adaptability regarded as assets whether or not Vlahovic remains in the squad.

Sources at Tutto Juve indicate that negotiation with PSG remains the primary avenue, as Juventus continue searching for ways to make the financial structure workable in light of broader squad changes and other emerging transfer targets. The Turin club face an active transfer window, juggling potential exits like Vlahovic’s—with Milan maintaining an interest—and attempts to bring in forwards such as Jonathan David. However, regardless of other offensive additions, the preference is to retain Kolo Muani as part of a refreshed attack under manager Igor Tudor.

No final agreement has been reached with PSG, but there is optimism in Turin that a mutually beneficial solution can be found. The deal structure under discussion would see Kolo Muani remain for at least another season on loan, giving Juventus flexibility and time to evaluate a long-term commitment.

Juventus’ approach, described as persistent but measured by sources close to the discussions, reflects their intent to build consistency in attack without making risky financial commitments in the immediate term. With ongoing negotiations and both club and player aligned in their intentions, a decision is expected in the coming weeks as the summer market intensifies.
