Randal Kolo Muani's loan spell at Tottenham Hotspur was supposed to be the move that reignited him — a fresh league, a new manager, a chance to remind everyone why PSG paid a reported €95m for him back in 2023. It hasn't quite gone that way. And now, according to CaughtOffside, a preliminary agreement is in place that could send him to Juventus on a permanent basis this summer.
Randal Kolo Muani — French international striker, currently on loan at Tottenham Hotspur from Paris Saint-Germain.
Kolo Muani is a PSG player by contract, temporarily at Spurs in north London. The loan was meant to offer him regular minutes and a platform after falling out of favour at Parc des Princes under Luis Enrique. That platform never really materialised into the kind of form that makes a club desperate to keep you.
Juventus. The Turin club have been rebuilding quietly — and expensively — and a proven French international striker with something to prove fits a profile they've been circling for a while.
CaughtOffside, reporting on 13 May 2026. No corroboration yet from Fabrizio Romano, Sky Sport Italia, or any of the Italian press outlets that typically confirm Juventus business at this stage.
Treat this as early-interest territory for now. CaughtOffside's framing — "looks set", "preliminary agreement" — is doing a lot of heavy lifting on thin sourcing. A preliminary agreement in football can mean anything from a handshake conversation to a signed pre-contract. Until Romano or a credible Italian outlet picks this up, the story is worth watching rather than banking on.
A preliminary agreement is reportedly in place for Kolo Muani to join Juventus permanently in the summer of 2026. PSG, who have been looking to move the striker on after his underwhelming loan in north London, would be the selling party. No fee has been confirmed or reported.
For PSG, this is clean-up work. Luis Enrique never really trusted Kolo Muani, and with the squad rebuild accelerating around Bradley Barcola, Gonçalo Ramos and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, carrying a high-value, high-wage striker who doesn't fit the system is a problem they'll want solved before the new season. Selling permanently — even at a loss on that original fee — makes the books and the squad list tidier.
For Kolo Muani, Juventus is a more interesting proposition than it might look at first glance. The Allianz Stadium crowd, a club that genuinely builds around its centre-forward, and a Serie A that has historically been kind to technically gifted French attackers. He is still only 26. The talent was never the question — it was always the fit and the confidence. Turin could offer both.
The cynical read is that this is a lateral move: a big club that isn't quite what it was, for a player who isn't quite what he was supposed to be. That reading isn't entirely wrong. But sometimes a lateral move at the right club is exactly what a career needs.
A lot. PSG and Juventus need to agree a fee — and bridging the gap between what PSG paid and what Juventus will offer is no small task. Kolo Muani himself would need to agree personal terms. And the whole thing needs to be confirmed by sources with a track record on this kind of deal. For now, file it under: plausible, reported, unconfirmed.
