Rent first and then buy, Juventus finalizes 95 million center! Personal agreement has been negotiated, Paris Saint-Germain is happy

The former Serie A overlord Juventus finally attracted a decent big signing news in the transfer window this summer. French striker Randal Colo Muani is only one last step away from putting on the Zebras's robe again. According to well-known reporter Skira, Juventus has reached an agreement with Muani himself for validity to 2030 (1+4-year model). The players have rejected multiple offers from the Premier League, Turkish Super League and Saudi Arabia, and only want to stay in Turin. The negotiations between Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain have also entered the sprint stage. Both sides will finalize a plan to rent first and then buy, and the total price of loan + buyout is expected to be close to 50 million euros.

Last season, Juventus changed coach halfway through, and all four of them were missing throughout the season. Fortunately, Roma, who narrowly beat Agnelli in the last moment, won the fourth place in Serie A and won the Champions League qualification. The summer window should have strengthened more, and he has only signed free Canadian striker Jonathan David so far. Almost all the other signings were loan-to-loan buyouts last year, and there was no heavyweight franchise at all. After taking office, Tudor made it clear that the team must upgrade its firepower at the center position, otherwise it will be difficult to compete head-on in the Champions League and Serie A. This is also why Muani's return is crucial to Juventus.

Muani was born in 1998 and is 1.87 meters tall. He comes from the Ligue 1 Nantes youth training camp. He has excellent physical conditions and active running. He can play both center forwards and guest appearances as a winger and shadow forward. In the 2022-23 season, Muani ushered in an explosion in Frankfurt, starting 43 times in 46 games in various competitions, scoring 23 goals and sending 14 assists, and directly participating in 37 goals, which once soared his value to 80 million euros. In the summer of 2023, he was signed by Paris Saint-Germain for a huge 95 million euros and became Mbappe's new forward partner.

However, after joining Paris Saint-Germain, Muani was dissatisfied with the local conditions. Enrique prefers players who are flexible and able to play fake No. 9, such as Dembele, Douai, Balcola, etc., and Muani's positioning in the first team is gradually awkward. In one and a half seasons, he started in Paris only 23 times in 54 games, contributing 11 goals and 7 assists, without any value, and becoming a marginal figure on the team. During the 2025 winter transfer period, Muani joined Juventus on loan and rejuvenated in just half a season: he scored 10 goals and assisted 3 times in 22 games, and firmly sat in the starting center position in Tudor's 3421 formation. His impact and running ability make Juventus' offensive level significantly richer, and also allows fans to see hope for a forward recovery.

Muani returns to Paris Saint-German after the loan period expires, but he has no place and is not within Enrique's plan. Therefore, Paris Saint-German hopes to recover 45 million to 50 million euros of transfer funds by selling him to balance the books and continue to strengthen the lineup. Although many clubs in the Premier League, Turkish Super League and Saudi Arabia are willing to meet Paris's asking price, Muani's attitude is extremely firm: he only wants to go back to Juventus, and coach Tudor also named him to win him. In this way, the negotiations between the two sides went very smoothly. The final plan was to rent first and then buy, with a one-year lease term, with a forced buyout clause, and the total cost was close to 50 million euros, which is expected to be officially announced soon.

Tudor hopes to create a Juventus with strong impact and faster pace in the new season, and Muani's return is the core puzzle of this system. If the transaction is completed smoothly, the Zebras' forward competitiveness will be greatly improved, which will also provide guarantees for them to strive for further progress in the Champions League.
