Juventus Targets Double Striker Signing with Kolo Muani Return

Juventus are tearing up their forward line and starting again. Dusan Vlahovic is walking away for nothing when his contract expires on June 30, and the two men signed to refresh the attack last season – Lois Openda and Jonathan David – have not convinced in their first year in Turin. The club are now ready to listen to offers for both.

In that vacuum, a familiar name has re-emerged.

Kolo Muani wants Juve – and Juve want him back

Multiple sources in Italy report that Randal Kolo Muani is open to returning to Juventus this summer, and the Bianconeri are working to make it happen. The Frenchman impressed in a short spell in the second half of the 2024-25 campaign, scoring 10 goals in 22 appearances and giving the Allianz crowd a glimpse of a centre-forward who thrives on movement, aggression and penalty-box instincts.

He left a mark. Now he wants to come back.

Juventus remain in contact with PSG over a deal, with talks described as ongoing. The French champions value Kolo Muani at around €35m, according to Tuttosport, but Juventus are holding a harder line at roughly €30m. The gap is not huge, and the structure of the deal could prove decisive.

PSG, who have the striker under contract until June 2028, are expected to be open to a loan with an obligation to buy, tied to conditions that are almost certain to be met. Luis Enrique does not see Kolo Muani as part of his plans, and PSG have no intention of offering the former Tottenham loanee a new deal.

For the player, the calculation is simpler. He is reportedly eager to return to Turin, even without the lure of Champions League football in 2026-27. Regular minutes, a central role, a club rebuilding its identity – the project still appeals.

Sorloth deal advances as Juve plot full attacking reset

Kolo Muani is only half of the plan.

Juventus are also deep in talks with Atletico Madrid for Alexander Sorloth and, crucially, already have an agreement in place with the Norway international. The move would give the Bianconeri a very different physical profile up front, pairing Sorloth’s size and aerial presence with Kolo Muani’s mobility and sharpness between the lines.

The strategy is clear: reset the attack in one summer. Vlahovic out. Openda and David on the market. Two new strikers in, tailored to a new tactical blueprint.

The negotiations with PSG will decide whether that vision is fully realised. If Juventus can close the small financial gap and lock in a loan-with-obligation formula, they will get back a forward who has already shown he can carry their shirt – and who is willing to do it without Europe’s top stage as a backdrop.

For a club trying to rebuild its edge, that kind of commitment from a goalscorer is exactly what they need.
