Why Juventus’ Randal Kolo Muani was the right man for PSG at the wrong time but is now thriving in Serie A

Randal Kolo Muani has demonstrably been the success story of the transfer star of January with his winter switch from Paris Saint-Germain to Juventus in loan that already resulted in more goals for his new Italian side than he had managed the entire season until the beginning of 2025 with the Ligue 1 Giants. The French International has already succeeded in scoring five times in just four games with the Side of Thiago Motta since he arrived in Turin later than expected because PSG had to rearrange their lumbaries, which led to Cher Ndour last month permanently participating in Fiorentina .

However, Kolo Muani has wasted little time on Serie A Soccer, with double against both Empoli and Como to deal with his debut strike against Napoli, although he has put his first blank in midweek against PSV Eindhoven in the UEFA Champions League Knockout Round Rounds,. Regardless of that scoreless outing, his overall return has been very good for a juve side that has not been productive with its current figures so far still better than one goal per match and a world away from his Paris struggles.

Seeing only two goals with PSG in the course of the first half of this campaign does not tell the full story of the former Eintracht Frankfurt and FC Nantes Man’s struggles under Luis Enrique who has since beaten gold with Ousmane Dembele’s conversion in a very productive false nine . Recording international football in the mix and Kolo Muani got more minutes and therefore scored more goals with the French national team, because Didier Deschamps made him the most important attacking threat of Les Bleus in the absence of Kylian Mbappe.

“It is part of the career of a football player – you always have to fight to make progress and move forward,” said Bondy’s resident recently after he came to Juve. “For me it’s all about continuing to work and giving the absolute best of myself. I am very happy.” I had to get playing time – I need it. I like being on the field, just like every player and although I went in the wrong direction, I now feel better. We can say that there is trust or whatever, but it is also up to me and not giving up. I keep going and do what I do best, but I will always be happy as long as I play. “

Kolo Muani is not the only one who benefits from the move with his new coach Motta who suddenly has a bigger lead than he was used to so far to this term with Dusan Vlahovic only three goals for the new arrival and Tim Wah to the same count as the Recruit January. The USMNT international has managed that number in a position in general on the field, while Wonderkid Kenan Yildiz also has four goals to his name that illustrates how much of a work in execution the bianconeri was before the transfer.

“Everything is doing better than good so far – I am very happy to be here,” De Juve No. 20 told Sky Italia this week. “I was really welcomed as if I came to a large family. To be honest, I feel very good. I repeat, I am very happy here in Turin. For now the future is not worried and I just enjoy the moment and in the hope to do even more.

In the end Kolo Muani and Dembele are not the same profile of the player and the first shows that he is well suited for the system that is currently being played by Juve, while the latter is now flourishing in the role that his former teammate has never really cut out for . Playing a different style under another coach may have changed that, but the recent contract extension of Luis Enrique suggests that things will not change in Parc des Princes, despite the absence of a purchase clause obligation to buy this summer in the loan agreement.

If things go on at their current pace, it would not be a surprise to see the old lady working out a way to sign Kolo Muani downright or at least extend his loan stay by extending a full season until he can be permanently purchased and added to The French contingent next to Khephren Thuram and Pierre Kalulu. Given the signing of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from Napoli last month and Dembele’s explosion of form together with Bradley Barcola and Douse Doue’s creativity, it seems that the future of the French star could now be in Italy with another chance to impress in series A on Sasse Sunday against Inter.
