A Tottenham Hotspur star, who has featured regularly over recent months, is speaking to Juventus about a shock transfer in the final week of the window.
Tottenham have continued to struggle for goals this season, which is partly down to the issues that Thomas Frank has had upfront.
The Dane would have hoped to see more from Randal Kolo Mauni, who is yet to find the back of the net in the Premier League since joining on loan from PSG in the summer.
It was claimed by The Daily Mail last week that Kolo Muani could cut short his loan spell at Spurs and make a temporary move elsewhere as he wants to play regularly in the lead-up to the World Cup.
Juventus looking to poach Randal Kolo Mauni from Tottenham
Fabrizio Romano has now revealed on his YouTube channel that Juventus have contacted Kolo Muani over the last 24 hours about returning to the Allianz Stadium.
The striker spent the second half of last season on loan in Turin, and the Old Lady wants to re-sign him, but they are facing two roadblocks in their pursuit.
The first is that Tottenham do not want to cut short the Frenchman’s loan spell and weaken their squad further.
The other is that the relationship between Juve and PSG is frosty following the tense negotiations over Kolo Muani last summer. The Ligue 1 side are not enthusiastic about holding transfer talks with the Serie A giants again.
This information has been backed up by Alfredo Pedulla, who says Juventus contacted the agents of Kolo Muani on Monday evening, although the situation is seen as ‘complicated’.
Why Spurs are unlikely to let Kolo Muani go
Thomas Frank has made it clear that there will be no more exits from Tottenham in January, with the Dane pointing out that the club are short of numbers at the moment.
Additionally, Richarlison is out with a long-term injury, while Dominic Solanke is still not 100 per cent after recently returning from a long-term layoff.
One would thus not expect Tottenham to cut short the 27-year-old’s loan spell unless they manage to bring another striker through the door in the final days of the window.
