Juventus remain fully focused on securing the signing of Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani, with negotiations continuing behind the scenes as the Bianconeri work to find a breakthrough.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Italian club are prepared to reshape their proposal in an effort to move closer to PSG’s €45 million valuation.
Rather than simply increasing the fixed transfer fee, Juventus are exploring a deal that could include performance-related bonuses or a future sell-on percentage.

Discussions between the two clubs remain active, while Kolo Muani’s representatives continue to play an important role in facilitating negotiations.
The French international has also made his intentions clear. When PSG informed his agent that they could begin discussions with other interested clubs if an agreement was not reached, the response was straightforward: the striker’s priority remains a move to Turin.
That determination has strengthened Juventus’ confidence, although the final outcome will ultimately depend on whether the two clubs can agree on the financial structure of the transfer.
Pellegrino Remains an Additional Target, Martinez Situation on Hold
Juventus’ interest in Mateo Pellegrino should not be interpreted as an alternative to Kolo Muani.
The Argentine forward is considered a separate opportunity rather than a backup option, with the club appreciating both his profile and the excellent relationship with his agent.
A meeting involving the player’s representatives and the clubs is expected in Italy soon to assess whether a deal can be completed.

Should Kolo Muani’s move collapse, Juventus would instead pursue another high-profile striker while still keeping Pellegrino among their attacking reinforcements.
Meanwhile, Loïs Openda continues to attract attention from clubs in the Premier League and Ligue 1, with RC Lens among those to have made enquiries.
Juventus are reportedly open to his departure if the right opportunity arrives, making him one of the most likely attacking players to leave.
The goalkeeping situation also remains worth monitoring. Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez is currently focused on Argentina’s World Cup final, meaning no significant developments are expected in the immediate future.
Despite recent comments from Aston Villa officials, Juventus have not abandoned their interest in the experienced goalkeeper and are expected to reassess the situation once the international tournament concludes.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Kolo Muani remains Juventus’ absolute priority, and the coming days could prove decisive as the Serie A giants continue working to deliver their marquee signing of the summer.
