Juventus are still pursuing a deal for Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani and the latest reports claim that the Frenchman is willing to take a salary cut in order to facilitate a return to Turin.

Kolo Muani makes pay cut promise to Juventus … again

The Old Lady are on the hunt for a new centre-forward for the 2026-27 season as Dusan Vlahovic is set to walk away from the club on a free transfer once his contract expires later this week.

Kolo Muani, who scored eight goals from 16 Serie A appearances while on loan with Juventus in the second half of the 2024-25 season, is back in fashion, although negotiating with PSG could still be a complicated task.

That is because Juventus had also tried to bring Kolo Muani back to Turin last summer: The Bianconeri spent most of the summer locked into negotiations with the Ligue 1 giants only to abandon their pursuit of the striker in the final days of the transfer window, which led to his joining Tottenham Hotspur on loan for the 2025-26 season instead.

According to reports from Gianluca Di Marzio, the hostile relations between Juventus and PSG have cooled down, but there are still a few bridges that need to be rebuilt.

More encouraging for Juventus is the fact that Kolo Muani is reportedly willing to lower his salary in order to facilitate a return to Serie A this summer.

It is believed that Kolo Muani earns between €7m-€8m per season on his current PSG contract, but Di Marzio suggests that he is willing to take a significant cut on that sum. Kolo Muani had also promised the same to Juventus during negotiations last summer.

Alfredo Pedullà adds that Juventus and PSG are still negotiating over a potential price tag and the formula of the deal, but reports that Juventus are willing to go above the €30m they had originally set aside for the Frenchman’s signing.

PSG insist that there will have to be an obligation to buy rather than an option if Juventus are looking for an initial loan deal.
