Randal Kolo Muani, the 26-year-old French national team striker who was struggling at Paris Saint-Germain, has been loaned out to Juventus Turin until the end of the 2024-2025 season without an option to buy.

Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli confirms they want to ‘keep the Italian flag flying’ in the Champions League against PSV Eindhoven and Randal Kolo Muani is ‘very eager’ to stay beyond

Randal Kolo Muani has been arguably the success story of the January transfer window with his winter switch from Paris Saint-Germain to Juventus on loan already resulting in more goals for his new Italian side than he had managed all season up until the start of 2025 with the Ligue 1 giants.

When Randal Kolo Muani signed on loan with Juventus a couple of weeks ago, I really had no idea what to expect.

Thiago Motta, however, stuck with Vlahovic when he took over at the Allianz Stadium and did not sign another striker in the summer. Despite his faith in the Serbian forward, Vlahovic has struggled to adapt to Motta’s system during the first half of the season.

When Giuntoli said that Juve are “figuring out how we could continue with him in future” last week, he very much meant it.

While Muani remains non-committal about his future, his performances on the pitch suggest he is enjoying his time at Juventus. The club must now weigh its options carefully, but with his form making a strong case for a permanent deal, it might be the right decision to invest in him.
