Igor Tudor pushing Juventus to sign €40M forward despite transfer doubts

Juventus manager Igor Tudor is reportedly urging the club’s board to secure the return of French forward Randal Kolo Muani, who impressed during his loan spell last season.

The 26-year-old striker, who joined Paris Saint-Germain from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023 for €95 million, was loaned to Juventus for the 2024-25 season.

Despite a slow start under Tudor, Kolo Muani eventually earned his place and contributed 10 goals and assists in 19 appearances across all competitions.

With PSG now open to selling him permanently, Juventus face a dilemma. The Parisians are asking for €40 million an amount that may be beyond Juve’s current budget, especially after the Club World Cup.

 Tudor wants Kolo Muani available for Juventus’ pre-season camp starting July 24 in Continassa. The coach sees the Frenchman as a vital piece of his attacking setup, and Juventus initially hoped PSG would approve another loan.

If Juventus fail to strike a deal, Premier League sides are ready to swoop in. Tottenham Hotspur remain keen on signing Kolo Muani this summer. Arsenal and Newcastle United are also monitoring the situation.

With Kolo Muani’s future uncertain and several top clubs circling, his next move could become one of the most talked-about transfer sagas of the summer.
