Juventus 2026 transfer saga – Muani pursuit, squad trim

Entities: Luciano Spalletti · Inter Milan · Emiliano Martínez · Aston Villa Football Club · Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez

Overview

After months of negotiations, Juventus completed the permanent signing of French striker Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint‑Germain on 2 August for a €38 million fee that can rise to €50 million with bonuses, ending a protracted fee impasse. The club had explored loan‑with‑obligation structures and alternative targets, and kept backup options such as Argentine forward Mateo Pellegrino, for which a €30 million loan‑with‑obligation offer was submitted to Parma.

In the goalkeeper market, Juventus abandoned the pursuit of Emiliano Martínez after Aston Villa’s €12 million asking price proved unaffordable, confirming Guglielmo Vicario and other candidates as the remaining options.

Financial pressure forced a squad‑trim drive: surplus players such as Adzic and João Mario were sold, and Juventus realised a €17.4 million profit from the 50 % sell‑on clause on centre‑back Tarik Muharemović’s €40 million transfer to Leeds United. The wage bill, now around €160 million, requires further exits, with Gleison Bremer and other defenders under review.

Midfield recruitment continues with free‑agent Leon Goretzka (salary ~€7 million) and João Palhinha on the radar, while defensive depth is sought through Jhon Lucumí and potential sales. The club’s multi‑track rebuild under Luciano Spalletti balances fiscal prudence with the ambition to strengthen attack, midfield and goalkeeping ahead of the new season.
