Juventus have taken another step towards signing PSG forward Randal Kolo Muani. According to reports, negotiations between the clubs are progressing well, with both sides nearing a final agreement.
The Turin club plans to sign the 27-year-old Frenchman on loan with an obligation to buy. The total fee for the permanent transfer is expected to be around 40 million euros, meeting PSG's financial requirements.
Juventus view Kolo Muani as their primary target to bolster the attack following the departure of Dusan Vlahovic. The club's new sporting director, Giovanni Carnevali, is keen to resolve the center-forward position as quickly as possible to avoid repeating the issues faced last season.
The clubs previously attempted to negotiate a deal for the forward, but it did not materialize at the time, and the player was sent on loan to Tottenham. After finishing the season, Kolo Muani returned to PSG, where he is no longer considered part of the long-term plans.
It is expected that once negotiations are finalized, the striker will join Juventus for their summer pre-season training camp.
