Kolo Muani set for Juventus return, but Turin still hesitant

Randal Kolo Muani will not be a Spur next season. The 27-year-old striker, loaned by Paris Saint-Germain to Tottenham, will leave the London club at the end of the current campaign, his tally of 5 goals and 4 assists in 41 matches deemed insufficient by the English board, and the player himself wishing to depart.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Kolo Muani has already made his choice: he wants to return to Juventus Turin. The French forward left a very positive impression in Italy during his first loan spell, between January and July 2025, with 10 goals and 3 assists in just 22 appearances in the Bianconero shirt. Contacts between the player’s entourage and PSG reportedly resumed last week, according to the Italian sports daily.

The interest would be mutual from Turin’s side, but Juventus is not yet ready to conclude. The club is first looking to offload Jonathan David, its current number 9, before moving forward on a new attacking recruit. Furthermore, coach Luciano Spalletti would prefer a profile more focused on the penalty box, notably citing Alexander Sørloth of Atlético Madrid and Jean-Philippe Mateta of Crystal Palace as potential targets.

Kolo Muani must also contend with disappointing international news: not selected by Didier Deschamps for the 2026 World Cup, he saw the place left vacant by Hugo Ekitiké’s injury go to Mateta, one of his direct competitors on the transfer market.
