Juventus are urgently seeking to bolster their attacking options with reports indicating they are actively pursuing both Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain and Mateo Pellegrino from Parma. The need for reinforcements has been highlighted by a lack of goals from current forwards, with the club last seeing a league goal from a striker on April 19th. Recent injuries to Ekhator and a disappointing trial for Arkadiusz Milik have further emphasized the urgency.
Juventus are attempting to negotiate a deal with PSG for Kolo Muani, reportedly offering a fee exceeding €40 million, including achievable bonuses and a percentage of any future sale. PSG are seemingly unwilling to reintegrate the French international into their first-team plans, with Kolo Muani currently training with the club’s Under 20 side. Simultaneously, Juventus are also in talks with Parma regarding Pellegrino, with the player’s representatives scheduled to meet in Milan to discuss a potential five-year contract worth €2 million per season.
However, Juventus' financial constraints mean they can likely only afford one of the two players on a permanent deal. The club is exploring a loan deal with an obligation to buy for Pellegrino, potentially costing between €5-7 million, but Parma are seeking to monetize assets and could accept a lower outright sale price of around €22 million plus bonuses. A potential return for former player Dusan Vlahovic could also influence the situation, with Juventus hoping he accepts their contract offer of €6.5 million plus bonuses, potentially freeing up funds for Pellegrino.
Juventus are also facing challenges in offloading players to generate funds, with Gleison Bremer and Khephren Thuram among those linked with moves away. The club may be forced to consider selling Pierre Kalulu, valued at around €50 million, if they cannot raise sufficient funds through other means. The situation with goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio remains unclear, while Mattia Perin is increasingly likely to be sold. The club is aiming to resolve these transfer matters before their pre-season tour.
