Juventus completes loan‑to‑buy deal for Randal Kolo Muani with obligation to buy
Juventus reached an agreement with Paris Saint‑Germain to bring French striker Randal Kolo Muani back to Turin on a loan that includes an obligation to purchase. The loan fee is €38 million, with up to €12 million in performance bonuses, meaning the total package can reach about €50 million. The purchase clause will only become active if Juventus qualify for any UEFA competition next season.
Muani will sign a five‑year contract worth €5.5 million per season in base salary plus €1.5 million in bonuses. He is expected to travel to Turin within 48 hours for a medical exam and to finalise the signing.
In the same transfer window Juventus also secured Bosnian midfielder Kerim Alajbegović from Bayer Leverkusen on a permanent deal for a fixed fee of €33 million, potentially rising to €40 million with bonuses. The club has also been linked with Colombian defender Jhon Lucumì, with reported bids in the €15‑18 million range, although that negotiation remains separate from the Muani and Alajbegović deals.
