Attributed to original sourceReports in Italy claim that Juventus have a ‘full’ agreement on salary and contract length with Randal Kolo Muani as CEO Giovanni Carnevali prepares for a series of face-to-face talks with his counterparts at PSG.
Juventus progress in Kolo Muani negotiations According to reports from Tuttosport , Kolo Muani ‘wants’ to return to Juventus, where he hit eight goals from 16 Serie A appearances while on loan with the Old Lady in the second half of the 2024-25 season.

(Photo by Marco Luzzani/Getty Images) Recent reports claimed that the Frenchman was willing to reduce the salary he currently earns at PSG in order to facilitate a return to Italy, and Tuttosport now claims that there is a full agreement on personal terms in place for a five-year deal worth around €5m per season in wages.
This would make Kolo Muani the third-highest earner at the club behind Kenan Yildiz and Jonathan David assuming that he stays at the Allianz Stadium.
Now it is up to Carnevali to find an agreement with PSG. He is expected to shortly meet with Parisian sporting director Jorge Campos, with whom he has a great relationship on an individual level. Carnevali is also working to restore club-to-club relations after a major falling out over a failed deal for Kolo Muani right at the end of the previous summer transfer window.
La Gazzetta dello Sport confirms that these talks are due to take place today.
According to Monday’s report, Juventus are willing to invest a maximum of €35m on the signing of Kolo Muani, including bonuses, while PSG are holding out for a fixed fee of €40m.

What happened
Juventus sporting director Cristiano Carnevali is negotiating with PSG to convert Randal Kolo Muani's loan into a permanent deal. The two clubs have already reached a salary agreement with the French striker, who has expressed his preference to remain in Turin. PSG are reportedly demanding €45 million plus bonuses for the sale, while Juventus would prefer to structure a loan with a future purchase option. The negotiation is described as being in its final stages, with PSG open to a sale given the player is not in their plans.
Chance analysis
This is a significant transfer story because Kolo Muani has been a key attacking figure for Juventus since arriving on loan, and securing him permanently would strengthen their forward line for the long term. The gap between PSG's €45M asking price and Juventus's preferred loan-with-option structure is a common late-stage sticking point in such negotiations, but the player's clear desire to stay gives Juventus leverage. If completed, this would be a notable Serie A transfer with implications for Juventus's title ambitions.
A permanent deal would solidify Juventus's attacking options with a proven scorer, while PSG would receive a significant fee and free up wage budget for new signings.
If Kolo Muani is confirmed permanent at Juventus, expect their attacking output and title odds to strengthen; monitor negotiation outcome closely.
