Multiple outlets in both Italy and France are reporting that Juventus’s move for PSG forward Randal Kolo Muani is now a done deal, and that the France international is now due to fly out to Italy for a medical.
According to the likes of Gianluca Di Marzio and RMC Sport, Kolo Muani has given the green light to a move to Juventus.
The Bianconeri are expected to sign the 26-year-old on a straight loan deal for the remainder of the 2024-25 season, and will cover the player’s salary in full over that period.
The player is expected to fly over to Turin and have his medicals with the Bianconeri on Wednesday.

It is understood that a number of clubs were interested in signing Kolo Muani this January after it was reported that he would be allowed to leave the Parc des Princes.
In recent hours, Premier League side Tottenham had reportedly been pushing to bring him to North London, but the player did not even take the chance to sleep on it, instead deciding to give his approval to the Juventus move.
Kolo Muani is expected to come in to provide cover and competition for Dusan Vlahovic in the Bianconeri attacking department. The Serbian is currently the only established, senior centre-forward in Thiago Motta’s squad, as Arkadiusz Milik is still yet to make an appearance this season.
