As the winter transfer window nears its conclusion — set to close on Monday at 8:00 PM — work at Continassa is far from slowing down.
On the contrary, Juventus remain fully active, with their focus firmly fixed on Randal Kolo Muani, a player the Bianconeri would do everything possible to bring back to Turin.

Juventus pushing hard for Kolo Muani
The same determination is shared by the PSG-owned forward himself, who has not forgotten his time at Juventus — arguably the best spell of his career since his breakout years at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Yesterday, however, proved to be a difficult day, mainly due to Tottenham’s stance. Although Spurs do not own Kolo Muani’s registration, they currently hold him on loan until the end of the season, meaning their approval is essential for any early termination.
The overall scenario remains largely unchanged, with one crucial difference: time is running out. Juventus continue to push, especially through the player, with the idea of forcing the issue by encouraging Kolo Muani to formally request an early end to his loan, effectively putting Tottenham under pressure.
According to Tuttosport, Juventus are prepared to wait until the very last moment — even until the final days of the window — for a potential breakthrough.
Talks with PSG remain open and constructive, unlike negotiations with Tottenham, which are currently at a standstill.

Time pressure, social signals and final negotiations
Juventus are not the only ones waiting. Kolo Muani himself is reliving a familiar situation, similar to last summer, when he waited until the final day of the window for clearance to return to Turin before eventually joining Tottenham.
Social media “signals” from the player continue, as he closely follows posts from his former teammates and remains in constant contact with them.
As reported by Tuttosport, he is also trying to understand whether there is room to convince his coach, Thomas Frank, to allow him to leave. For Juventus, he is willing to do anything.
The main obstacle remains Tottenham, who currently have no intention of letting Kolo Muani go under these circumstances.
According to La Stampa, a new round of talks is scheduled today, involving both Tottenham and PSG.

Spurs want a replacement secured first, while PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is reportedly demanding a significant offer to approve another loan move after last summer’s tensions. Time is running out — but hope, for now, is still alive.
