Attributed to original sourceReports in Italy claim that Paris Saint-Germain have turned down Juventus’s initial proposal for centre-forward Randal Kolo Muani, but the Bianconeri remain confident that they will be able to strike an agreement with the back-to-back Champions League winners in the near future.
PSG stand firm with €40m Kolo Muani valuation, Juventus see €33m bid rejected Dusan Vlahovic is officially no longer contracted to Juventus after seeing his deal expire on June 30. The Old Lady have made a move to sign 19-year-old Jeff Ekhator from Genoa in a deal worth €18m including add-ons (and Next Gen talent David Puzcka moving in the opposite direction), but the search for a new starting centre-forward continues.
All signs currently point towards a return for 2025 loanee Kolo Muani, who netted eight goals from 16 Serie A outings while on loan in Turin in the second half of the 2024-25 campaign.
Juventus had attempted to bring Kolo Muani back immediately after his loan deal expired last summer while Damien Comolli was in his first months as CEO of the club, but despite months of negotiations, the deal collapsed in the final days of the window, which led to the Frenchman joining Tottenham on loan for the 2025-26 season instead.
New Juventus CEO has been tasked with restoring relations with PSG after the fall-out under Comolli’s leadership last summer and the latest reports in Italy claim that the two clubs are now moving closer to an agreement for Kolo Muani.

PSG are standing firm with their valuation of €40m.
According to reports from Tuttosport , Juventus are confident that they will be able to strike an agreement with PSG for a price tag somewhere between the €40m valuation and the rejected offer of €33m, potential for a price tag of €36m or €37m.
This would still be a loan with a conditional obligation to buy, likely linked to Champions League qualification.

What happened
Juventus have submitted an offer to PSG for French forward Randal Kolo Muani, which has been rejected by the Ligue 1 champions. Despite the setback, Juventus reportedly remain confident that a deal can be finalized. Kolo Muani has struggled for playing time at PSG since joining from Eintracht Frankfurt and has been linked with a move away. The negotiations are expected to continue as Juventus look to strengthen their attacking options.
Chance analysis
Kolo Muani's potential move to Juventus reflects PSG's willingness to let the French international leave but on their own terms. Juventus's persistence suggests they believe a compromise on price or structure can be reached. For prediction purposes, Kolo Muani joining Juventus would significantly boost their attacking depth, while PSG losing him would have minimal impact given his limited role under Luis Enrique.
Potential boost to Juventus's attack if completed; minimal impact on PSG given Kolo Muani's reduced role.
Monitor Kolo Muani's status — if he joins Juventus, expect increased attacking output from the Bianconeri; if the deal collapses, PSG retain a squad option with limited first-team impact.
