Randal Kolo Muani reportedly wants to rejoin his former loan club, Juventus, following his temporary stint at Tottenham. Since arriving in the Premier League, the 27-year-old has struggled to reproduce the form he demonstrated on a temporary basis at Juventus, where he netted 10 goals in 22 appearances.

From a total of 34 matches played with Spurs, he has managed just half his tally for goals, and only one of those has come in the Premier League, which makes it no surprise his current club is embroiled in a relegation battle. Regardless of the division Spurs will be playing in, Kolo Muani will almost certainly not be in north London next season, with his sights set on a reunion elsewhere.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Frenchman has made it clear to Juventus that he wants to return to represent them. The report claims the Serie A side even attempted to secure him in the January transfer window by terminating his loan at Spurs early.

However, they were unable to do so with parent club Paris Saint-Germain now said to be seeking a permanent departure this summer. Juve attempted to secure him from PSG prior to the 2025/26 campaign, but no deal was struck over a transfer fee with the Ligue 1 champions keen to recover as much of the £76.4million spent on acquiring him from Eintracht Frankfurt as possible.

Intriguingly, the majority of Kolo Muani's goals for Tottenham this term have arrived against former employers, with the striker netting a brace in the 5-3 Champions League loss to PSG before subsequently scoring in the 2-0 victory at Frankfurt. His remaining goals have both been registered on home turf against Arsenal and Atletico Madrid.

The 3-0 loss to relegation rivals Nottingham Forest, in which he made a 23-minute appearance, could have been his final outing under Tudor with Spurs and their interim head coach potentially set to separate over the international break.

Former Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi and Adi Hutter are the latest figures to be connected with assuming the role until the conclusion of the season. USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino is the most probable candidate to take control for next season and beyond, but that may hinge on Spurs' Premier League status.
