New Delhi: Juventus have bolstered their attacking options by signing Paris Saint-Germain’s Randal Kolo Muani on loan for the remainder of the 2024-25 season. The deal sees the French forward join the Serie A giants with an initial fee of €1 million, potentially rising to €2.6 million. The agreement does not include an option for a permanent transfer, meaning the 26-year-old will return to PSG in June.
Kolo Muani has struggled for game time under PSG boss Luis Enrique despite scoring twice in his first three matches this season. The France international, who arrived in Paris for €90 million from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023, has found opportunities limited and hopes a move to Turin will reignite his form.

Speaking about his move, Kolo Muani expressed pride in joining a club of Juventus’s stature. He praised the influence of manager Thiago Motta, whose vision for the team convinced him to choose Turin despite interest from Manchester United, Tottenham, and Milan. He mentioned iconic French Juventus players such as Zinedine Zidane and David Trezeguet as inspirations.
Kolo Muani is expected to provide crucial support to Juve’s attack, which has relied heavily on Dušan Vlahović due to Arkadiusz Milik’s recurring injuries. While the forward prefers playing as a centre-forward, he remains flexible about his role. Juventus fans could see him in action as soon as Tuesday when the team faces Serie A leaders Napoli.
Administrative delays initially held up the announcement, as PSG had reached their foreign loan limit and had to resolve this before confirming the move. Now cleared, Kolo Muani has already trained with his new teammates and is eager to make an impact.
With Juventus fighting to close the gap in Serie A, Kolo Muani’s arrival could be key to boosting their attacking depth in the crucial months ahead. Fans are excited to see how the Frenchman adapts to life in Turin.
