Juventus are reportedly considering a move for Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani in the January transfer window. The 25-year-old French international has struggled to secure a starting position under Luis Enrique’s management and is said to be exploring options for more consistent playing time.
This season, Kolo Muani has made 10 appearances for PSG, mostly as a substitute, scoring two goals in 375 minutes of play across Ligue 1 and Champions League matches. His limited role has attracted interest from several top European clubs, particularly in the Bundesliga, where he previously excelled with Eintracht Frankfurt, and the Premier League.
Calciomercato report that for Juventus, Kolo Muani could present an opportunity to bolster their attacking options, especially given Arek Milik’s ongoing injury concerns. The Italian giants are in the market for a backup to Dusan Vlahovic and might consider Kolo Muani if favourable terms can be negotiated, potentially in the form of a loan deal with PSG covering part of his wages.
The potential transfer is further facilitated by the improving relationship between Juventus and PSG. Following a period of tension due to the Superleague controversy and Juventus’ exit from the European Club Association (ECA), recent developments have seen a thaw in relations. Juventus’ return to the ECA has created a more cordial atmosphere, potentially opening doors for market dialogues.
This newfound rapport has already seen Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli identify Milan Skriniar as a possible replacement for the injured Gleison Bremer. Now, it could pave the way for discussions about Kolo Muani, albeit under specific conditions.
With Kolo Muani’s contract running until 2028 and his market value estimated at around €40 million, any deal would require careful negotiation. However, the evolving Juventus-PSG relationship suggests that previously unlikely transfers might now be on the table, marking a new era of cooperation between the two European powerhouses.
