Tottenham Make Move for Randal Kolo Muani as Juventus Talks Stall

Tottenham Hotspur are trying to sign Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain. The striker’s future is uncertain as the transfer deadline approaches. Kolo Muani hopes to become a Juventus player before the summer transfer window closes, but reports indicate that his future remains in flux.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain‘s talks over Kolo Muani have stalled at the last minute. Juventus seemed close to a deal, wanting to make the loan permanent, but haven’t yet matched PSG’s financial demands, leaving Juventus in negotiations with several alternatives. This delay has allowed other clubs to enter the race, with Tottenham officially enquiring within the last 24 hours for a striker before the transfer window closes, as Manchester United and Newcastle United also weigh up bids.

TRANSFER TENSIONS AND RACE FOR SIGNING

Juventus could be renegotiating terms to prepare for the 2025-26 season, but if talks remain off, they have options like Loïs Openda. Kolo Muani impressed at Juventus with eight goals in 19 Serie A appearances, and Paris clearly wants to sell this summer, which is further complicated by Juve’s financial situation. Tottenham, sitting near the top in the Premier League with two wins and one loss, are eager to bolster their attack to boost their Champions League qualification hopes. They are just three points behind leaders Liverpool. Tottenham recently signed Xavi Simons to improve their attack due to James Maddison’s long-term injury, emphasizing their intent to strengthen their squad through recent acquisitions.

WHAT NEXT FOR KOLO MUANI AND THE CLUBS INVOLVED?

Juventus face Bologna next in Serie A, while Tottenham play West Ham in the Premier League, with both teams needing points—West Ham beat Nottingham after a worrying start where they were last in the standings. Spurs are aiming to wrap up a deal by then. Meanwhile, Manchester United and Newcastle are also chasing European spots and may yet submit late offers for the French striker if the deal with Juventus falls through.
