Kolo Muani returns to Turin: Juventus signs striker on permanent deal

Background to the transfer

The financial terms of the transfer are part of the agreement Juventus had already struck with PSG when arranging the loan. According to reports, the fee is in the region of the original purchase option.

With the permanent move, the Frenchman — who between 2022 and 2023 was one of the most eye-catching forwards in the Bundesliga — is definitively returning to top-level European football. At Frankfurt, he scored 26 goals in 50 competitive appearances and played a major role in the 2023 DFB-Pokal triumph.

In Turin, Kolo Muani will receive a long-term contract and is set to play a central role in the team's attack going forward. Juventus plans to deploy the forward as a fixed part of the attacking line in the upcoming Serie A season.

Outlook on the new season

The transfer fits into a phase of sporting restructuring at PSG. After their Champions League exit, the club's decision-makers in Paris reshuffled the squad up front, from which Juventus also benefited.

Observers see the move as a sign of both clubs' ambitions: PSG is freeing up wage budget, while Juventus secures an in-form striker. In the coming weeks, Kolo Muani is expected to join the Turin side's preseason preparations.

Regarding the contract duration and financial details, both clubs have initially agreed to remain silent. Juventus announced that the details will be presented at an official press conference in the coming days.
