Juventus Targets Kolo Muani for 2026-27 Season
Randal Kolo Muani is back on Juventus’ radar – and this time, the timing might finally suit everyone.
The French forward, unwanted at PSG and coming off a bruising spell in England, has shown what has been described as “total openness” to returning to Turin for the 2026-27 season, with Juventus already back in contact with his camp.
From Turin promise to Premier League struggle
Juventus know exactly what they would be buying. Kolo Muani’s half-season in Serie A in 2024-25 left a clear impression: eight goals in 16 league games, a clean one-in-two strike rate that gave the Bianconeri a sharper edge in the final third and hinted at a partnership that could have grown.
That form prompted Juve to move quickly the following summer. They tried to bring him back to the Allianz Stadium after that productive spell, only to hit a wall in negotiations with PSG. The French club held the cards, and instead of boarding another flight to Turin, Kolo Muani was sent to Tottenham Hotspur on loan.
The move to north London never really caught fire. In 2026-27, he scored just once in 30 Premier League appearances. For a striker who had looked so instinctive and confident in Serie A, it was a stark regression. Tottenham, meanwhile, flirted with disaster, scraping survival and avoiding relegation to the Championship by only two points. It was a season that left scars: a centre-forward short on goals, a club short on air.
Juventus won’t let go
Even during that difficult year at Spurs, Juventus did not completely step away. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Italian club tried at several stages of the 2025-26 campaign to prise Kolo Muani away from north London. Each time, then-Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank blocked the exit, despite the forward not being a regular starter.
Now the picture looks very different. PSG are under no financial pressure and have little incentive to reintegrate a player who no longer fits their plans. That opens a door. Juventus, sensing an opportunity they feel they missed once already, are back in touch with the player’s entourage and working to find a formula that finally brings him back.
Kolo Muani, for his part, has made his stance clear: he is fully open to a return to Juventus and to Serie A, where his game last looked at ease and his finishing carried weight.
For a club still searching for a reliable, mobile No. 9 and a player looking to reboot a stalled trajectory, the reunion suddenly feels less like nostalgia and more like necessity.
