Juventus Pursues Kolo Muani for 2026-27 Season

Randal Kolo Muani is back on Juventus’ radar – and this time, the Frenchman is said to be fully on board.

The Bianconeri have reopened talks with the Paris Saint-Germain forward, with reports that the player has shown “total openness” to returning to Turin for the 2026-27 season. For a club still searching for a reliable focal point in attack, the idea of rekindling a partnership that once worked is an obvious temptation.

Memories of a sharp spell in Turin

Kolo Muani’s first stint at Juventus was brief but efficient. Arriving on loan from PSG for the second half of the 2024-25 campaign, he delivered exactly what a mid-season signing is supposed to provide: goals, and quickly.

Eight goals in 16 Serie A appearances. A strike every other game. In a side that often laboured in the final third, his movement and aggression gave Juventus a different edge. The Allianz Stadium crowd warmed to him fast, sensing there was more to come if the club could keep him.

Juventus tried. They pushed to bring him back the following summer, encouraged by his numbers and his adaptation to Italian football. But the negotiations with PSG stalled. Instead of returning to Piedmont, Kolo Muani was shipped to the Premier League, joining Tottenham Hotspur on loan.

A Premier League struggle

England did not treat him kindly. The 2026-27 season at Tottenham was a grind, both for the player and the club.

Kolo Muani scored just once in 30 Premier League appearances. A forward who had looked sharp and decisive in Serie A suddenly found himself starved of confidence and end product. Tottenham, for their part, flirted with disaster, surviving the drop to the Championship by only two points.

The numbers tell their own story. For a player who had looked like a clever, opportunistic finisher in Italy, that return in England was brutal. Yet the interest from Turin has not disappeared.

Juventus won’t let go

Despite that poor campaign, Juventus have not closed the door on Kolo Muani. Far from it. According to the latest updates from Fabrizio Romano, the club have renewed contact over a move for the 2026-27 season, and the striker has made it clear he is ready to come back to Italy.

This is not a new obsession. Romano reports that Juventus tried several times during the 2025-26 season to prise him away from Tottenham mid-loan. Each attempt ran into the same obstacle: then-Spurs head coach Thomas Frank.

Even though Kolo Muani was not a regular starter, Frank refused to sanction his departure. Tottenham kept him as part of the squad, Juventus were forced to wait, and the forward’s form never really recovered.

Now the landscape looks different. The loan in London is over, the numbers are underwhelming, and PSG are in no rush to reintegrate him into their plans.

PSG relaxed, Juventus hopeful

At PSG, there is no financial pressure to cash in quickly. The club are not short of resources and do not appear desperate to rebuild around Kolo Muani. That gives Juventus a window.

Talks are ongoing with the player’s entourage, and there is a quiet confidence in Turin that a deal might finally be within reach this time. The key elements are aligned in a way they were not before: a player keen on the move, a buying club that knows exactly what it wants from him, and a parent club that is open to letting him go.

Juventus remember the version of Kolo Muani who attacked space, finished clinically and adapted swiftly to Serie A. The player, bruised by a difficult spell in England, knows where he last looked truly at ease.

Now the question is simple: can a reunion in Turin unlock that player again, or has that window already closed?
