Juventus are already laying the groundwork for a crucial summer transfer window, with one priority standing above the rest: strengthening the attack.
The club’s hierarchy, acting on the direct request of Luciano Spalletti, is currently working to extend the contract of Dušan Vlahović.

However, even if the Serbian striker commits his future to the club, the Bianconeri remain determined to bring in another forward capable of both rotating with and complementing him.
Juventus Eye Kolo Muani Return
Among the most prominent names on Juventus’ shortlist is Randal Kolo Muani. The French international is expected to return to Paris Saint-Germain following an underwhelming loan spell at Tottenham Hotspur.
Despite that setback, Kolo Muani’s previous stint in Turin—where he spent six months on loan between January and July 2025—left a positive impression on both the player and the club.
Reports suggest that Kolo Muani would welcome a return to Juventus, seeing it as an opportunity to revive his form in a familiar environment.
Meanwhile, PSG appear open to offloading the striker and are reportedly willing to accept an offer in the region of €30 million. This valuation places the deal well within Juventus’ current financial planning, making it a realistic target rather than a distant dream.
Budget Hinges on Champions League Qualification
According to Tuttosport, Juventus’ summer transfer budget will largely depend on whether the club secures qualification for the next UEFA Champions League.

Participation in Europe’s elite competition would significantly boost revenue streams, giving the club greater flexibility in the market.
Even without Champions League income, Juventus have already earmarked a transfer fund of approximately €25–30 million specifically for a new striker. Should qualification be achieved, that figure could rise to €35–40 million, further strengthening their position in negotiations.
Regardless of the final budget, it is clear that signing a centre-forward is not just an option but a necessity. Kolo Muani’s profile—versatile, dynamic, and already familiar with the club’s environment—makes him a particularly attractive solution.
As the summer window approaches, Juventus seem poised to make a decisive move to reshape their attacking line and ensure greater depth and competitiveness for the season ahead.
