Juventus are heavily pursuing Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain to address ongoing issues in their attacking department, according to reports from Calciomercato. The club is facing a prolonged goal drought from players other than Dušan Vlahović, with their last goal from a different forward coming from Moise Kean against Bologna on April 19th.
Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has publicly expressed concern over the team’s inability to convert chances, signaling a clear need for reinforcement up front. The situation has led to pressure on Vlahović to agree to contract terms, with the club prepared to move forward without him if a deal cannot be reached. Juventus are reportedly seeking a solution similar to the salary structure of young talent Kenan Yildiz.
PSG are willing to sell Kolo Muani, who has been training with the club’s Under 19 team, but are holding firm on a transfer fee. Luis Campos, PSG’s football director, is demanding at least €45 million for the French forward, hoping to attract interest from other clubs such as Borussia Dortmund, who previously showed interest during Kolo Muani’s loan spell at Tottenham Hotspur. Juventus have presented an offer to PSG, but are hesitant to exceed €40 million, proposing a structure that includes variable bonuses tied to Champions League qualification.
Personal terms between Juventus and Kolo Muani are reportedly agreed, with the player expected to sign a five-year contract worth approximately €5 million net per season. Juventus are simultaneously working on a deal for Mateo Pellegrino from Parma, with a potential fee of €22 million for a permanent transfer or €30 million for a loan with an obligation to buy. The need for attacking reinforcements is considered urgent following a recent friendly match against Basel, where Juventus struggled to find the back of the net despite creating numerous opportunities.
The arrival of Kolo Muani and potentially Pellegrino would significantly bolster Juventus’ attacking options and alleviate the reliance on Vlahović. These signings would aim to address a long-standing issue and provide Allegri with more tactical flexibility in the final third.
