Tottenham Ready to Move for Key Striker if Juventus Pass on Permanent Deal | OneFootball

Tottenham Eye Kolo Muani as Juventus Future Hangs in Balance

Transfer Planning Starts Early at Spurs

Tottenham Hotspur are already looking ahead to a critical summer transfer window, and once again, the name Randal Kolo Muani has emerged near the top of their shortlist. According to GiveMeSport, Spurs are ready to reignite their pursuit of the French striker should Juventus fail to make his loan move from Paris Saint-Germain permanent.

“Kolo Muani is in line to find himself back on Tottenham’s radar in the event of Juventus opting against attempting to negotiate a permanent switch as, regardless of whether Postecoglou remains at the helm, there is a desire to improve their attacking options.”

It’s a clear signal from the club’s hierarchy that reinforcements up front are needed — and fast. The recent 2-0 loss to Chelsea marked Tottenham’s 16th Premier League defeat this season, underlining just how urgent those attacking upgrades have become.

Uncertainty at Juventus Opens Door

Kolo Muani joined Juventus in January on a temporary deal worth up to £4.8 million, without any purchase clause in place. Now, with managerial upheaval at the Allianz Stadium — Thiago Motta sacked and Igor Tudor taking over — his future is in limbo.

The France international was benched during the recent win over Genoa, a signal that his place in the pecking order may be slipping. This, coupled with Juventus’ risk of missing out on Champions League qualification, means the finances needed to keep him may not be available.

“The change at the helm has resulted in there being doubts over whether the 26-year-old, who has been described as ‘exceptional’, will be kept in his current surroundings beyond the end of the campaign,” the report stated.

Spurs Strategise Beyond Postecoglou

While uncertainty swirls around Ange Postecoglou’s future — with Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola rumoured to be a possible replacement — the transfer strategy appears to be taking shape regardless. Spurs are not just preparing for contingencies; they’re actively targeting players who can reshape the attack.

Though Kolo Muani cost PSG up to £77 million when he joined from Eintracht Frankfurt last September, Spurs believe they could secure his services for a significantly lower fee. His status at PSG under Luis Enrique has diminished, making a summer move increasingly realistic.

Meanwhile, discussions continue behind the scenes regarding Mathys Tel, currently on loan from Bayern Munich. Tottenham have yet to decide whether to activate their purchase option, but Kolo Muani’s potential availability may push that decision down the pecking order.

Forward Thinking from Daniel Levy

Chairman Daniel Levy is said to be working on multiple fronts. Alongside Kolo Muani, GiveMeSport have also revealed a pursuit of Southampton youngster Tyler Dibling — a sign that the club is investing in both present firepower and future potential.

Kolo Muani would add versatility and directness to the Spurs front line — a player capable of leading the line or operating from wide positions. His mix of pace, movement, and technical quality makes him a natural fit for the Premier League.

For Spurs fans weary of faltering attacks and blunt finishing, this is the type of move that would speak to ambition, provided the club can move swiftly if Juventus step aside.

This pursuit of Kolo Muani feels like the kind of proactive planning the club has often lacked. After watching Harry Kane leave without a like-for-like replacement, and relying heavily on Son Heung-min’s adaptability, the lack of a central goal threat has been exposed this season.

Kolo Muani’s mobility and link-up play would offer something different. He isn’t Kane — few are — but he brings energy and urgency Spurs have been missing. With Juventus on shaky ground, financially and tactically, now’s the time to strike.

There’s always risk when dealing with players who have moved around top clubs quickly, but this doesn’t feel like a gamble — it feels like an opportunity. If Spurs want to return to the top four and be taken seriously in Europe, then moves like this are essential.

And while questions may hang over Postecoglou’s long-term future, this should not stall the project. Spurs need goals, and they need them now. Kolo Muani might just be the man to deliver them.
