Randal Kolo Muani, the 27-year-old French national team forward who was struggling at Paris Saint-Germain (under contract until 2028), was loaned to Tottenham for the 2025-2026 season without an option to buy, after an agreement with Juventus (where he had been on loan from January to June 2026) proved impossible. His future is now uncertain, though the Italian club is reportedly working on his transfer again. Tuttosport reports this Tuesday that the “Old Lady” is preparing to move forward with difficult negotiations involving PSG.
“leveraging performance-based bonuses, in an attempt to move closer to the figures demanded by the Parisian club.
PSG remains unwilling to offer any kind of discount and continues to raise the stakes regarding payment terms. To be clear: should they agree to a loan deal, they would demand stronger guarantees from the Bianconeri; a simple clause tied to Champions League qualification would not suffice. And if anyone were to question this, one need only look at last season’s Serie A standings: such doubts are more than reasonable—entirely legitimate, in fact. Consequently, further talks will be necessary.
A new meeting is scheduled for this week between CEO Carnevali and Kolo’s intermediaries; the player himself is pushing for a return to Turin. The reason is quite simple: Juventus has already submitted an initial offer of €33 million. It was rejected, of course, but it sent an undeniable signal. The next step will be to restructure the bid, perhaps by leveraging performance-based bonuses, in an attempt to move closer—as far as possible and depending on the willingness of all parties—to the figures demanded by the Parisian club.
The saga drags on with no real certainty, largely due to Juventus’s lack of financial resources. Kolo Muani has generally underperformed at PSG, yet there is no intention of letting the French international go cheaply—especially since he could well attract other offers. In fact, the persistent focus on the Italian club is somewhat surprising, though it remains the only option currently being discussed for the forward’s future.
Hopefully, there will be concrete progress this time. Italian media frequently mention a potential deal, yet nothing tangible has materialized. There is a risk of further weeks passing without much to show for it, even though an agreement remains a possibility.
