PSG, Juventus Face Major Transfer Developments on €40M-Rated Player
· Yahoo Sports
Back from an underwhelming loan spell at Tottenham, Randal Kolo Muani will not remain in Paris for long and could return to Juventus, which is negotiating with PSG. According to the Italian media, the Turin club has already reached an agreement with the France international but must now come to terms with Luis Campos.

Much like this time a year ago, the Italian press is reporting a contractual agreement between Randal Kolo Muani and Juventus. Gianluca Di Marzio, Fabrizio Romano, La Gazzetta dello Sport, and Tuttosport all report that the Old Lady reached an agreement with the France international on Thursday for a five-year contract and an annual salary estimated at €5 million net.
While some French outlets, such as Foot Mercato, claim that no agreement between Kolo Muani and Juventus has been reached yet, the Italian press is unanimous in reporting that one has been reached. In any case, that is not the most important agreement to secure in this matter.
Last summer, Kolo Muani had already expressed a desire to return to Juventus after a successful six-month loan spell in the second half of the 2024-25 season. The problem was that Juventus's CEO at the time, Frenchman Damien Comolli, never managed to reach an agreement with PSG, which ultimately loaned the player to Tottenham at the very end of the transfer window.
According to Italian media, relations between PSG and Juventus have improved since Comolli's departure and the appointment of Giovanni Carnevali as his replacement. Nevertheless, no agreement has been reached between the two clubs, although negotiations are ongoing.
With Kolo Muani still carrying a book value of around €38 million on PSG's accounts, the Parisian club is reportedly asking for €40 million, according to Corriere dello Sport, while Juventus is unwilling to spend more than €35 million. Beyond the transfer fee, there is also the well-known question of the deal structure.
As was the case last year, Juventus is reportedly considering a paid loan with an option to buy, according to some sources, and an obligation to buy, according to others. "There is nevertheless a certain optimism surrounding the success of the operation, unlike what happened last summer," Turin-based sports daily Tuttosport wrote, while Gianluca Di Marzio was more cautious, explaining that the deal "will not happen quickly given the gap that still exists between the two clubs."
Not qualified for next season's Champions League, Juventus does not possess enormous financial resources but would like to provide this reinforcement to Luciano Spalletti before mid-July so that the France international, who was not called up for the 2026 World Cup, can participate in the club's summer tour in Hong Kong and Perth, Australia. The coming days, therefore, promise to be decisive in this case.
