Randal Kolo Muani has emerged as a January transfer option for Juventus, according to reports.
Juventus wanted Youssef En-Nesyri, but talks have reportedly collapsed, leaving the Bianconeri needing to look elsewhere.
And Kolo Muani, who is currently on a season-long loan at Tottenham Hotspur, is now on Juve’s radar once again.
Randal Kolo Muani the subject of Juventus calls after impressive 2025 loan stint
Randal Kolo Muani had a fruitful loan spell at Juventus last year, registering 10 goals and three assists.
The Bianconeri tried to sign him from Paris Saint-Germain over the summer, but they couldn’t get a move over the line.
Juve chiefs still rate him so highly that they have begun making calls regarding his availability this year, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Kolo Muani is not having as much luck at Tottenham as he did at Juventus. He is yet to score in the English Premier League.
Romano also claimed that Juve renewed contact with Jean-Philippe Mateta’s agents, accepting the French striker’s offer.
However, Crystal Palace’s request remains clear and unattainable: the deal would only be finalized for a fee of no less than €40m.
Juve are also eyeing Beto, the Everton striker, according to reports relayed by FootItalia.
Romano concluded by telling fans to watch this space as the transfer deadline edges ever closer.
Randal Kolo Muani to Juve: The issues
Randal Kolo Muani would surely be a star player for Juventus once again, having already proven himself in Serie A.
The prospect of a deal, however, clashes with the reality of the situation and a series of problems that make the operation very complicated.
There are, in fact, two difficult obstacles for Juventus to overcome if they want Kolo Muani.

The first is that Tottenham manager Thomas Frank doesn’t want to lose any more players until the end of the winter transfer window.
Spurs are enduring another nightmare season in the league, sitting a lowly 14th in the table.
The other obstacle is the relationship between Juventus and PSG, which took a blow after last summer’s soap opera.
With just days to go until the January transfer window closes, Juve need to act fast if they are to bolster their attacking ranks.
