The possibility of Randal Kolo Muani returning to Juventus remains alive, despite the recent arrival of Jeremie Boga. While many assumed Boga’s signing might close the door for the French forward, the Bianconeri are reportedly continuing their efforts to bring Kolo Muani back to Torino. The main hurdle, however, lies in Tottenham’s position.
Last summer, the London club finalized a loan agreement with Paris Saint-Germain for the 1998-born striker, a deal the Spurs seem eager to honor.
Tottenham’s stance was made clear by head coach Thomas Frank ahead of their match against Manchester City. In a candid response to questions about Kolo Muani’s future, Frank stated: “Do I want to keep him? Yes, next question.”
His words left little room for doubt. Frank also praised the forward, noting, “I hope the goal and his Champions League performance give him confidence, because I have always appreciated his qualities.”

This demonstrates Tottenham’s intent to retain a key attacking option and respect their handshake agreement with PSG.
Juventus’ Strategy and PSG’s Role
Despite this, Juventus is reportedly exploring a creative approach similar to past deals, such as the “Mateta model”: a loan with an obligation to buy contingent on finishing in the top four of Serie A, thereby securing Champions League qualification.
Such a proposal could appeal to PSG, offering a potential pathway for the striker’s return to Italy. However, it appears unlikely to sway Tottenham, who remain determined to hold onto an influential player in their squad.
The ultimate decision now rests with PSG, who must evaluate whether to reopen discussions or maintain the current setup. Juventus, meanwhile, is in a holding pattern, anxiously awaiting developments.

The next 24 hours could be pivotal in determining whether this transfer saga reignites or if Kolo Muani will remain in London for the remainder of the season.
For Juventus fans, the story underscores the delicate balancing act of transfer negotiations, where timing, strategy, and relationships between clubs are just as crucial as player performance.
The Bianconeri’s persistence highlights their ambition, and if all pieces align, a reunion with Kolo Muani could still be on the cards reports TuttoJuve.
