Randal Kolo Muani is on the verge of wearing the black and white shirt again. According to Tuttosport, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain are finalizing the last details of the deal. Negotiations are expected to conclude tomorrow, marking the end of a long summer pursuit.

The agreement will be structured as a paid loan with an obligation to buy, totaling around €55 million. This represents a significant compromise after PSG initially demanded €65 million.

Juventus management has been patient, working to bring back a player who never hid his desire to return to Turin. Kolo Muani, who already has a contract prepared until 2030, could make his debut as early as next weekend.

The French striker is expected to be available for the Serie A opener against Parma, where Igor Tudor and his teammates are waiting for his arrival. The anticipation is high, with supporters eager to see him back at Continassa.

Juventus market moves beyond Kolo Muani

The Kolo Muani deal is not the only major operation on Juventus’ table. The club is also close to completing Douglas Luiz’s transfer to Nottingham Forest.

The Premier League side has outpaced both Everton and West Ham, moving closer to Juventus’ asking price of around €39 million. The Bianconeri are determined to avoid a financial loss, given the Brazilian midfielder only joined a year ago.

If that sale is finalized, Juventus will quickly turn to reinforcements. One leading candidate is Brighton’s Matt O’Riley, valued at approximately €30 million.

The Danish midfielder made headlines yesterday by scoring in Brighton’s Premier League opener, further raising his profile.

For Juventus, these market moves reflect a strategy built on compromise and forward planning. While Dusan Vlahovic’s uncertain future lingers, the club has chosen to secure Kolo Muani regardless of the Serbian striker’s fate.
