French striker Kolo Muani has decided to join Juventus on loan for the remainder of the season, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The 26-year-old forward, who had been on the radar of both Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, has opted for a fresh start in Italy.
Kolo Muani has struggled for consistent game time at Paris Saint-Germain this season, making only two starts in Ligue 1. After tallying 11 goals in 54 appearances for the French giants, the former Eintracht Frankfurt star is eager to rediscover the form that once made him a prolific scorer in Germany.
During his time at Frankfurt, Muani dazzled with 26 goals and 17 assists in just 50 games, cementing his reputation as a dangerous attacking threat. However, his transition to PSG has been less impactful, and a move to Juventus offers a chance to revive his career and gain regular minutes on the pitch.

Reports from European outlets suggest that Thiago Motta, a former PSG teammate and current manager, played a pivotal role in convincing Muani to make the switch. Motta’s influence may have tipped the scales in Juventus’ favor as the striker weighed his options between Italy and England.
The Bianconeri are working to finalize the deal, and Muani’s debut could come as early as this Saturday in a high-stakes clash against AC Milan. Juventus, currently battling for a strong position in Serie A, will look to the dynamic forward to bolster their attacking options and add firepower to their squad.
