Randal Kolo Muani is starting to show Juventus a willingness to leave Tottenham Hotspur and make a return to move to Turin.
The Frenchman has not had a positive time under Thomas Frank following his loan switch from Paris Saint-Germain during the summer transfer window.
Fill in the blank: Randal Kolo Muani’s loan move at Tottenham has been _/10 so far…
The striker has just two goals in 23 appearances for Spurs, and the club’s supporters are becoming frustrated by his performances.
Juventus are now working hard to bring him back to Serie A following what was a very successful loan move last season.
Juventus think Randal Kolo Muani is open to leaving Tottenham
Randal Kolo Muani is open to returning to Juventus after positive talks with his agents on Tuesday evening, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Tottenham are reluctant to release Kolo Muani, given their lack of attacking options and very little time in the transfer window remaining to find a replacement.
The Bianconeri should be able to get a buy-in from the £76m player; however, negotiating with Spurs and PSG will be the tricky part.

Speaking about the situation, Romano told his YouTube channel: “Juventus spoke to Kolo Muani’s agents this evening. Juventus has this feeling this evening that they might eventually get an opening from the player.
“We’d say that Juve believes they’re clearing the player’s path amid the various issues that complicate Kolo Muani’s dream. So, Kolo Muani’s temptation is there.

“It’s a Juve that has positive feelings, from the boy’s perspective, despite last summer’s disappointment with Kolo Muani.
“Kolo Muani was expected to be a Juventus player by the end of the summer of 2025. At the end of August, the final day arrived, and then he found himself at Tottenham, which wasn’t his first choice.
“Today, Kolo Muani is re-teaming with Juventus, and he feels like Juve might actually tempt him. From Thursday, Juve hopes to understand whether Tottenham will release Randal Kolo Muani or not.”
Tottenham had shown an interest in Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche, but any talk over signing a winger this month now seems to have disappeared.
Mathys Tel must sit tight at Tottenham
One player who looks set to remain at Tottenham this month is Mathys Tel, who had been linked with a loan move away.
Tel has become unhappy under Frank and was pushing to leave the North London club on loan in the January window.
However, talk has started to die down, and the 20-year-old should bide his time until Frank has left the football club.
