Key Takeaways:
- Juventus have reopened discussions with PSG over Randal Kolo Muani as a possible replacement for Dusan Vlahovic, who is set to depart on a free transfer at the start of July
- Vlahovic’s contract with Juventus will expire on 30 June, with no extension in sight
- Kolo Muani scored 8 goals in 16 Serie A appearances during his loan with Juventus in the 2024-25 season
Striking Options Diminish as Vlahovic Set to Exit
Dusan Vlahovic’s tenure with Juventus is drawing to a close, as the Serbian forward’s contract will reach its expiration on 30 June, with no agreement for a renewal. Unless there is a last-gasp reversal, Vlahovic is expected to leave Turin as a free agent, leaving the club short-handed in attacking positions.
After Vlahovic’s exit, Juventus will have only Jonathan David, Lois Openda, and Arkadiusz Milik among their available forwards. The trio managed a total of just 7 Serie A goals in the 2025-26 campaign – David leading with 6, and Openda adding a single goal.

Carnevali Seeks Solutions, Kolo Muani Talks Revived
Newly-installed Chief Executive Officer Giovanni Carnevali has turned his attention towards strengthening the attack. As reported by Gianluca Di Marzio on Thursday, Carnevali has reopened negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain centred on the prospect of bringing Randal Kolo Muani back to Turin.
Kolo Muani previously impressed during a loan stint with Juventus in the latter part of the 2024-25 campaign, finding the net 8 times in 16 Serie A matches – delivering an average of a goal every two games.
Financial Considerations for a Potential Return
Carnevali is intent on clarifying the financial implications involved in a deal for Kolo Muani, scrutinising transfer fees, salary demands, and agents’ costs as part of the process to secure a deal with PSG.
