Juventus speed up pursuit of Randal Kolo Muani; talks are open again with PSG for a summer transfer
Juventus have reopened negotiations with PSG for Randal Kolo Muani under the leadership of Giovanni Carnevali, while the Bianconeri target increased attacking strength.
Juventus are stepping up their pursuit of Randal Kolo Muani after re-opening talks with Paris Saint-Germain, according to a report from the Gazzetta. New CEO Giovanni Carnevali will lead the negotiations, and better relations between the two sides are expected to help bring about the deal that stalled last year.
The France international remains the Bianconeri's main target as they hone their attack for the new season. Juve management still respect Kolo Muani after a productive six-month loan in Turin in 2025, where he quickly adapted to the system and inside the dressing room.
Juve and PSG have re-established direct contact to discuss the striker's future. Kolo Muani has returned to Paris after a difficult loan spell at Tottenham where he scored five goals, and both camps see a return to Italy as a viable option. The Bianconeri believe that his previous success in Turin and familiarity with the environment will be key to a quick reintegration into the team.
It is also reported that Carnevali plans to meet with PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi to find common ground for the transfer. Talks are expected to be more straightforward this window given the positive relationship between the two officials — a key factor after Juve's attempt to sign Kolo Muani failed at the end of the previous transfer window.

Juventus are studying a loan-first structure with an obligation to buy, to spread the cost of the transfer and ease the impact on their budget.
Juventus are actively looking for additional weapons up front, targeting the presence of two reliable centre-forwards who can lead the line. Kolo Muani is the main priority, but the club is also open to other options as they push forward with the revision of their attack.
The Bianconeri are also hoping to get contract talks with Dusan Vlahovic back on track despite tensions with the previous management. Kolo Muani's previous loan stint in Turin — where he scored 10 goals — strengthens his case as the coaching staff's favorite option.
Juventus and PSG will continue talks for a mutually acceptable structure. Whether the Paris camp agrees to the loan-to-buy arrangement could be key to the deal. Nicolas Jackson and Alexander Sorloth remain on Juve's radar, but it's clear that Kolo Muani is still top of the list as the attack builds for the new campaign.
