The striker previously played for the Bianconeri from January to July 2025, scoring 10 goals in 22 appearances. The total value of the deal will reach €45 million.
The transfer saga has finally reached a positive conclusion: Randal Kolo Muani is set to return to Juventus. After unsuccessful attempts to sign him in the summer of 2025 and last January by Damien Comolli, Juventus’ new CEO Carnevali has now reached an agreement with PSG. This follows extensive diplomatic efforts to mend relations, securing a loan deal with an obligation to buy, conditional on the Bianconeri qualifying for European competitions. The total fee, including fixed payments and bonuses, will amount to €45 million. The forward is expected to sign a five-year contract worth approximately €5 million net per season.
Juve-Kolo: A Transfer Saga
—
Kolo Muani, who previously played for Juve on loan from January to July 2025, scoring 10 goals in 22 appearances, is expected in Turin tomorrow for his medical. This means Spalletti will have his striker available for the pre-season tour of China and Australia, with the squad departing on Sunday, August 2nd. The Bianconeri coach has always made it clear he considers Kolo Muani perfect for his system, having admired his qualities three years ago when he was in charge of Napoli and faced him as an opponent with Eintracht Frankfurt in the Round of 16 of the Champions League. Juve’s current manager sees in Kolo Muani a ‘mini Osimhen’ – a player capable of vertical play at key moments, battling opposing defenders, holding up the ball, and bringing the team forward. This is evidenced by his 36.9% of duels won, 27% of aerial duels won, 2.55 balls recovered per game, and 0.85 tackles made every 90 minutes during the Frenchman’s Serie A spell. Furthermore, thanks to his 72.8% pass completion rate, Spalletti also recognises Kolo Muani’s decent associative qualities with teammates, which were particularly evident with Yildiz during the 2025 Club World Cup. Finally, the former national team coach sees in the Frenchman a more ruthless striker than those currently at his disposal: in Serie A, Kolo Muani scored 8 goals from 14 shots on target and 26 total shots, less than half the attempts required by his previous (or future) attacking partners. Kolo Muani’s strong desire to return to Turin, which he always considered his only option for the future, was decisive in finalising the deal.
