Attributed to original sourceReports in Italy claim that Juventus are willing to increase the price of a loan fee for PSG striker Randal Kolo Muani as the Bianconeri attempt to bridge the gap between their first offer and the French side’s €40m valuation.
Juventus willing to offer PSG €8m-€10m in loan fees for Kolo Muani It is no secret that Juventus are attempting to secure a deal to bring Kolo Muani back to Turin. The Old Lady are after a new starting centre-forward after seeing Dusan Vlahovic walk away on a free transfer at the end of his contract on June 30.
Kolo Muani is not part of Luis Enrique’s plans in Paris after spending the last two seasons out on loan, and Juventus are keen to bring him back to Serie A after scoring eight goals from 16 league appearances while in Turin during the second half of the 2024-25 season.
PSG reportedly value their striker in the region of €40m and reports on Wednesday claimed that Juve had seen an offer of a loan deal with a conditional obligation to buy worth around €33m turned down.
According to Thursday’s updates from the Corriere dello Sport, Juventus are now prepared to increase the cost of a loan fee in an attempt to convince PSG into selling.

Juventus still hope that they will be able to meet PSG somewhere in the middle of the first €33m offer and the €40m valuation.

What happened
Juventus are pushing to turn Randal Kolo Muani's loan into a permanent deal and are prepared to increase the loan fee to sweeten the offer for PSG. The French striker joined Juventus on loan in January and has impressed during his time in Serie A. PSG are open to selling but want adequate compensation, and Juventus believe a higher loan fee structured toward an eventual permanent move could break the deadlock. The negotiations are ongoing as Juventus look to secure the player's long-term future in Turin.
Chance analysis
Kolo Muani has been a productive attacker for Juventus since arriving on loan, and the club's willingness to raise the loan fee signals strong intent to complete a permanent signing. For PSG, this represents a chance to recoup value on a player who fell out of favor in Paris. From a prediction standpoint, losing Kolo Muani would marginally weaken Juventus's attacking depth, but securing him permanently stabilizes their forward line for next season.
If successful, Juventus secure a proven Serie A-productive striker permanently, strengthening their attack; PSG lose squad depth but gain transfer funds.
Juventus likely retain Kolo Muani for next season, so factor him as a Juventus attacking option in 2025-26 projections.
