Report: Randal Kolo Muani is still hoping for a return to Juventus this summer
· Yahoo Sports
Juventus have tried for two transfer windows to get Randal Kolo Muani back in bianconero. Each attempt has been met with its respective challenges, be it financial or just simple logistics this past January, and that resulted in a player who the Juve front office clearly want to see back in Turin not actually coming back to Turin.

It doesn’t look like they haven’t given up hope for that.
Nor has the player himself.
According to Fabrizio Romano on his Italian-language YouTube channel on Wednesday, Kolo Muani is very much hoping for a return to Juventus following the end of his season-long loan spell at Tottenham Hotspur come the beginning of the summer. Based on Juventus’ attempts to sign him both in the summer of 2025 and then this past January, you have to believe that Damien Comolli and the rest of the Bianconeri front office will take another swing at a pitch they have tried to hit a home run with multiple times before.

So as he leaves Spurs regardless of their status in the Premier League or — gasp — the second division next season, Kolo Muani won’t be there. The likelihood of him remaining at Paris Saint-Germain remains slim to absolute none. That means the door is open to Juventus trying to take advantage of situation in which the player himself wants to return to Turin. How they actually do with it remains to be seen.
But it’s pretty clear that Juventus will take a shot to sign Kolo Muani again because of the expected changes coming in attack this summer — especially so if they qualify for the Champions League and have the freedom to spend the money that they might not if they were Europa League-bound come the fall. Plus, knowing how PSG tried to negotiate the deal with Juventus last summer as they tried to secure a price that would secure them from avoiding a loss on the books, a year later means Kolo Muani is also going to come cheaper than what the reigning European champions were demanding in July and August.
For a club like Juventus that was very much dug in on what they would be willing to spend last summer, the fact that Kolo Muani will be cheaper and not cost upward of €60 million like PSG wanted last summer.
Plus, you just gotta believe that getting Kolo Muani away from the mess that is Spurs — yes, no matter how many goals he has scored in recent weeks since our old pal Igor Tudor has been in charge — is going to have him rather happy regardless of where his next club is. Let’s just see how long his stop in Paris ends up being.
