Juventus are leaving no stone unturned and, after the complications for Youssef En-Nesyri, they have kicked the tires on Randal Kolo Muani to see whether it’s possible to orchestrate a reunion, TuttoSport relays.

The Bianconeri have been in touch with his agents. The player would indeed be happy to return. However, the deal is far from easy, as Tottenham don’t want to let him go, even though he hasn’t been great so far. PSG are still irked by the long back and forth that went down during the summer.

Juventus attempted to reunite with Kolo Muani throughout the whole past window, but only tendered an initial loan and eventually splurged on Lois Openda on deadline day. The Frenchman headed to London, but he hasn’t lived up to expectations, scoring twice in 23 appearances. He is yet to find target in the Premier League.

Luciano Spalletti didn’t name names but suggested he wouldn’t mind adding somebody similar to Rasmus Hojlund following the Napoli clash, as they don’t have a striker with those characteristics. The Old Lady hasn’t completely given up on Jean-Philippe Mateta, but Nottingham Forest have lodged a considerable bid to buy him outright, The Athletic reports.

Our Take on Juventus and Kolo Muani

It’d be a swell way to bounce back from a proper fiasco, and he wouldn’t need time to adjust. However, his position is probably too intricate to be untangled in only a few days. While it remains baffling that they backed up the brink’s truck for Openda after already nabbing David, the wages of the PSG loanee were also a sticking point during the talks, and they decided to spend more on the fee than on those.
