Kolo Muani ready to cut wages for Juventus move
Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani has indicated he would accept a salary reduction from his current €7‑8 million per‑year earnings to enable a move back to Turin, where Juventus are pursuing him as a replacement centre‑forward for the 2026‑27 campaign.
Juventus have identified a need for a new centre‑forward ahead of the 2026‑27 season as Dusan Vlahovic is expected to depart on a free transfer when his contract expires later this week. The club therefore view Muani as a potential long‑term solution.
During the second half of the 2024‑25 Serie A campaign, Muani scored eight goals in 16 league appearances while on loan at Juventus. His goal return has revived interest from the Bianconeri despite the complexities of negotiating with PSG.

Juventus pursued Muani last summer, engaging in prolonged talks with the Ligue 1 giants before abandoning the chase in the final days of the transfer window. The stalemate led to Muani joining Tottenham Hotspur on loan for the 2025‑26 season. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the previously hostile relations between Juventus and Paris Saint‑Germain have begun to thaw, though several issues still need resolution. Di Marzio also notes that Muani, who currently earns between €7 million and €8 million annually at PSG, is prepared to accept a significant reduction to facilitate a Serie A return this summer. Alfredo Pedullà Juventus are prepared to exceed the €30 million they originally earmarked for Muani’s acquisition. PSG, however, insist any initial loan must include an obligation to buy rather than an option.

The image underscores Muani’s continued involvement in Italian competitions despite his contractual ties to PSG.
